The National Rifle Association spread around five figures to Nevada legislative candidates in 2010 and 2012, including to key Carson City players.
The NRA has given to about a third of the current crop and in a bipartisan fashion. The contributions, while not overwhelming, indicate that the gun lobby is interested in squelching legislation in Carson City. Its biggest contribution, not surprisingly, was to ex-state Sen.
