Governor Lombardo Vetoes Democrat-Backed Gun Bills in Nevada and Oregon.

Republican Governor Joe Lombardo vetoed three gun control bills passed by the Democrat-controlled Nevada Legislature, citing concerns over their constitutionality and infringement on Second Amendment rights. The bills included a ban on guns at polling locations, a ban on certain assault weapons for individuals under 21, and a prohibition on those convicted of hate crimes from owning firearms for 10 years. Lombardo's vetoes show his support for the Second Amendment and Republican values. Democrats lack the votes to override the vetoes unless a Republican lawmaker votes with them.
