BLOOMBERG GROUP ACC– USED BY NRA OF MISLEADING VOTERS WITH NEW QUESTION 1 TV AD 

September 14, 2016

Today the Bloomberg backed group, Safe Nevada, the sponsor of Question 1 (also know as The Gun Background Check Law), launched a new TV ad featuring President of the Nevada Association of Public Safety Officers and Police Officer Jim Dunlap. The TV AD stated that background checks for private gun transfers have reduced cop killings in states with similar laws by 48%.

Jennifer Crowe, Communications Director for Safe Nevada, commented on the issue, saying QUOTE “18 other states have closed the loophole, including Colorado, California and Oregon. If it saves one life, it’s worth it.”

Jim Dunlap, the President of the Nevada Association of Public Safety Officers,  defending Question 1, stated when asked by NEWSMAXTV LAS VEGAS QUOTE “It’s just like the seat belt law or helmet law. When it first came out, everyone was up in arms against it. But it saves lives. And Background checks will also save lives. NAPSO Views the law as a public safety issue and not a gun control issue.”

Ryan Hamilton came into our studio to respond to the new TV Ad.
