Dear [Recipient],
I am writing to express my opposition to Senate Bill 452 which prohibits the possession of a firearm on a covered premises in certain circumstances.
I take issue with this bill not because of what’s in it, but rather, what is missing. Because I am a freedom loving American, I believe anyone has the right to prohibit the possession of a firearm on their private property. However, if a business or an individual so chooses to remove my ability to defend myself, then they must take responsibility for my safety and either provide armed security guards or other means of protection to ensure my overall well-being.
The fact is, a criminal seeking to do harm in/on a “covered premises” will pay no attention to the proposed amendments to chapter 202 of the NRS nor the required signage mentioned therein. For this bill to be effective, property owners electing to prohibit firearms on their premises must, in doing so, be required to hold liability for all patrons who enter their property. Should any patron experience an act of violence, whether purely physical or with the use of any weapon, the property owner should be held 100% liable for any damages, both physical and mental, that occur as a result.
It is a Natural Right for an individual to be able to protect themselves from harm. This bill, as written, essentially strips citizens of that right. If the purpose of this bill is to protect Nevadans, then it needs to be modified to include the considerations mentioned above. For these reasons, I ask that you motion to amend or oppose this bill entirely until these issues can be addressed.
Respectfully,
[Your Name]
