First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
  • In April 2014, Brian Sandoval criticized the Bureau of Land Management for creating a "First Amendment Area" while they rounded up cattle in federal lands. He said, "Most disturbing to me is the BLM’s establishment of a 'First Amendment Area' that tramples upon Nevadans' fundamental rights under the U.S. Constitution. To that end, I have advised the BLM that such conduct is offensive to me and countless others and that the 'First Amendment Area' should be dismantled immediately. No cow justifies the atmosphere of intimidation which currently exists nor the limitation of constitutional rights that are sacred to all Nevadans. The BLM needs to reconsider its approach to this matter and act accordingly."
Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
  • In 2013, Brian Sandoval vetoed SB 221, which, among other things, would have expanded background checks for the purchase of a firearm.[1][2]
Executive powers
  • In November 2014, Brian Sandoval criticized President Barack Obama's executive order on immigration. He said, "Our immigration system is broken and it is without question that comprehensive reform is necessary. However, any solution to the greater problem must be a legislative solution, not a unilateral decision made by the executive branch. This announcement gives false hope to the millions of people across America who will continue to wait for a permanent solution. It represents dreams delayed by patchwork progress and expediency over good government. I encourage Congressional Leadership and President Obama to rise to the occasion of this challenge and work toward passing a bipartisan solution."[3]
