The longer the new “gun background check law” remains in limbo, the more it causes confusion to people throughout the country and the valley.

“We get a lot of calls on it, like ok, ‘what’s the deal? Do you have to do it? Do you have to go into a gun store now?’, said Michael Goyak, the manager at Venture Munitions.

Goyak says the Ventura Munitions gun store has been busy, answering many calls about question one. In November 2016, voters approved background checks for private party gun sales and transfers.

“It is the law, but it’s not a law that you have to follow,” Goyak said.

In December, the Nevada Attorney General’s Office announced it was not going to enforce the new law. The decision comes after the state’s Department of Public Safety received a letter from the FBI saying the federal agency will not conduct background checks required by question one.

The agency says the Nevada legislation can’t dictate how federal resources are applied.

“We’re selling one of his older guns now. All we’re going to do is a bill of sale, so that way it is out of our possession,” said Tammy Byrd, selling a gun.

A local law firm filed a public information request on behalf of the Nevadans for Background Checks campaign. The documents ask for records of any communication between the AG’s office, the NRA, the FBI, and several other law enforcement agencies.

“We think it’s important to understand some of the conversations that have or have not been happening in regards to implementation of that law,” said Jennifer Crowe, Nevadans for Background Checks.

“The campaign expects to receive the documents in the coming weeks. In the meantime, the background checks for private gun sales are not being enforced.

“I think there’s a lot of confusion there,” Goyak said.

The campaign officials say they’re aware Democratic state leaders are working on legislation to implement Question 1. 8 News NOW reached out to the office of the Nevada State Democrats several times, but have yet to get a response.

The law was supposed to be enforced at the beginning of the year on Jan. 1.
