((allison :40 at this time we have heard from all owners so the horses are not up for adoption :44 if the owners decide not to reclaim their horses then they would go through the process of being up does not come cheap for the non-profit--whose facilities are really only designed for dogs and cats. they're loosing two staff members to look after and feed the horses at off-sight locations twice a day.

((karen castro)) >> question one is among the most controversial ballot measures in nevada. it even has law enforcement from across the state... at odds. proponents say background checks will keep communities safe... while the opposition says it will do nothing to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals.

((julie proctor - executive dir., safe house: but the background check loophole in nevada made it easy for him to buy the gun used to kill christina from a stranger.)) ((karen castro)) question one would require private guns sales to go through a licensed dealer who would do a federal background check. the current state law does not require one for transfers between unlicensed individuals. saying is two strangers coming together for the sale of a gun, you need to have a background check, know who you're dealing with, know who you're selling to.))

((karen castro)) ryan hamilton with the nra-nevadans for freedom believes question one will cost law abiding gun owners time, money, and freedom. he says it will not stop criminals from buying guns. ((ryan hamilton - deputy dir., nra-nevadans for freedom: the possessors never get a background check, they steal it, they purchase it illegally, they buy it from a straw purchaser.)) ((karen castro)) the measure, which would also require background checks for online sells, is opposed by the majority of the sheriffs in the state.. many also featured on t-v ads. however, a number of law enforcement organizations are supporting question one. ((julie proctor - executive dir., safe house: even if we can save one or two people, that's a huge success for us.)) ((karen castro)) >> question one is the most expensive measure on the ballot. supporters have received more than 18-million dollars.... about 75-percent coming from "everytown for gun safety".... an organization founded by former new york mayor michael bloomberg. the opposition has raised nearly 5-million dollars... almost entirely donated by the n-r-a.
