Nevada Governor Lombardo Vetoes Gun Control Bills

Nevada Republican Governor Joe Lombardo has vetoed three gun control bills passed by the Democratic-led legislature, which aimed to increase the age to possess certain firearms and restrict who can obtain them. The bills could still be passed if the veto is overridden by the legislature, but Democrats would need at least one Republican to vote with them in the state Senate. Lombardo defended his veto, stating that the legislation infringed on the constitutional rights of Nevadans. The debate over gun control has escalated as the country grapples with a record pace of mass shootings, with Democrats arguing for stricter regulations while many Republicans say the restrictions would violate the Second Amendment.
