NevadansCAN, a Citizens Action Network, has filed a lawsuit to prevent a new law containing a “Red Flag” provision from taking effect on January 1, 2020.

NevadansCAN argues Red Flag laws are unconstitutional and violate citizens’ rights to due process and the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

Assembly Bill 291, which passed Legislature this year, allows a family or household member to ask a judge to temporarily bar someone from accessing firearms if they are deemed a threat to themselves or someone else.

Julie Chen Hereford, a co-plaintiff in the suit, said the provision violates the U.S. and Nevada State constitutions by giving judges the power to take away a person’s right to bear arms.

The lawsuit asserts the Nevada Supreme Court’s decision in Andersen v Eighth Judicial District Court invalidates the red flag provision in the bill.

It sure would have been nice had this "news" station included a very basic fact - was the lawsuit filed in Nevada or Federal courts? Or both? I hope both, as a win in Federal court would benefit the entire Ninth Circuit. And if the State of Nevada lost in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and took this to the USSC - yeah, I know, counting unhatched chickens - it could shut down the whole Red Flag Law gun-grab scam.

The lawsuit was filed Thursday in Carson City District Court by NevadansCAN, a self-described “non-profit citizens action network” based in Henderson and led by Mary Rooney, a former Republican state Assembly candidate and a conservative activist. Attorneys representing the group are Alan Lefebvre and William Schuller of the Kolesar & Leatham law firm.

In the Nevada state court system, the Nevada District Courts are the trial courts of general jurisdiction, where criminal, civil, family, and juvenile matters are generally resolved through arbitration, mediation, and bench or jury trials.[1]

So, then, what matters is in the NV Constitution.  The AZ Constitution is very strict on the Second Amendment, with no so-called "Predicate Clause" to let leftist lawyers muck up the "Shall not infringe."
