Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo issued his first set of vetoes since taking office and rejected a trio of firearms-related bills on May 17.

“I will not support legislation that infringes on the constitutional rights of Nevadans,” Lombardo said in a statement. “As I stated in my letters, much of the legislation I vetoed today directly conflicts with legal precedent and established constitutional protections. Therefore, I cannot support them.”
