Gun Owners of Nevada - About

Gun Owners of Nevada is a Nevada non-profit corporation and is a non-partisan organization. GONV is dedicated to restoring and preserving the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

GONV has a volunteer staff and is not legally affiliated with any other organization. GONV will focus on the city, county and state levels, similar to the way the National Association for Gun Rights and Gun Owners of America work at the national level.

GONV believes that both the Nevada and U.S. Constitutions protect the right of all citizens to own and carry all types of firearms for any purpose except to commit a crime. GONV opposes all attempts to limit, restrict, delay or deny a law abiding citizen the right to self defense.

As a single issue organization, GONV does not believe that you, as an American citizen, should have to beg permission from the government to be able to defend yourself and your family. That’s why we are working to get a Vermont/Alaska style carry law passed. In these states, unless you are a convicted felon or otherwise barred from possessing weapons, you do not need a permit to carry a gun for self-defense!

Many Nevada gun laws are unconstitutional and we are working to repeal them. These include the Clark County residents' requirement to “register” every handgun they own, as well as the 72 hour waiting period that is also imposed by Clark County for first time handgun buyers. GONV is also opposed to the state-run Baby Brady. Flaws in the system regularly prohibit law abiding citizens from purchasing a legal firearm.

GONV is not interested in “access” or “relationships” with politicians. We have no desire to be “making deals.” We are about one thing and one thing only; the uncompromising representation of Gun Owners in Nevada. GONV is not authorized to negotiate away anyone's rights. When it comes to gun rights, GONV will not compromise.

Lastly, GONV holds our lawmakers accountable to The Constitution through grassroots constituent pressure. Unlike the typical lobby, which hires highly paid lobbyists to speak for the members, GONV works to inform and empower its membership to be involved in the legislative process. GONV enables thousands of individual citizens to be effective lobbyists right from their own homes.

Our long term goal is to remove every unreasonable restriction that our “leaders” have imposed on us.

It's A Right -- Not A Privilege

"We support the right of all peaceable people to keep and bear arms.

Your age, race, gender, religion, political party, sexual orientation, or national origin are of no concern to us, as all people are created equal.

Anyone who requires you to disarm is not your friend -- and not our friend.

Only when all peaceable people can freely exercise their inalienable right to self defense, and their right to keep and bear arms, will we attain the ultimate safeguard for our mutual protection -- as individuals, as members of a community, and as citizens of the Republic.

The right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness extends to all peaceable human beings.

All peaceable people who support the right to keep and bear arms are welcome."
