Even the NRA Is Getting Tired of Governor Gibbons

The NRA's Institute for Legislative Action is emailing Nevada members regarding Governor Jim Gibbons' veto of AB246.  Titled "Governor Vetoes Apprentice Hunting Bill. Your Support is Needed to Help Override the Governor's Veto,"  the missive can't quite understand the Gov's reasons.

AB 246 passed the Assembly on May 15 by an overwhelming vote of 38 to 2 with 2 absent and passed the Senate on May 22 by a unanimous vote of 21 to 0. Even with the overwhelming support by the Assembly and the Senate the Governor still decided to veto this important legislation to help preserve Nevada's hunting heritage.
It looks like Nevada's Assembly has overidden the veto this afternoon.  It's now with the State Senate.

Damn, I forgot about that organization's acronym. They're probably tired of the governor too.
