Las Vegas • Nevada Gov.-elect Steve Sisolak, who will be the first Democrat in the post in two decades, said tougher gun laws are among his top priorities as he takes office in January.
Sisolak said in an interview with The Associated Press that he wants to see the state ban assault weapons, silencers and bump stocks, which the gunman used in the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting to modify his guns to mimic the firing of a fully automatic weapon.
“This is something that’s extremely important to me,” Sisolak said. “I’ve already been in discussion with some law enforcement and intend to get going on that very, very quickly.
