Nevada Supreme Court

Sisolak v. Polymer80, Inc.

April 18, 2024140 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 30

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court reversed the district court's judgment declaring Nevada's unfinished-firearm statutes unconstitutionally vague and permanently enjoining their enforcement. It held that the statutory definition provides adequate notice through ordinary meanings, contextual interpretation, and relevant firearms-industry usage; that the statutes are general-intent offenses requiring knowledge of the object's objective firearm-related characteristics; and that they do not authorize arbitrary or discriminatory enforcement.
