Sisolak vs. Polymer80, Incorporated

Docket No. 83999

Carson City – 10:00 a.m. – Full Court

This appeal involves a facial challenge to the constitutionality of NRS 202.253(9), NRS 202.3625, and NRS 202.363. NRS 202.253(9) defines unfinished firearm or receiver.  NRS 202.3625 criminalizes the sale, “offer to sell or transfer” of an unfinished firearm or receiver unless an enumerated exception applies.  NRS 202.363 criminalizes the “possess[ion], purchase, transport or … [receipt]” of an unfinished firearm or receiver unless an enumerated exception applies.

In an action for declaratory and injunctive relief against several State officials, respondent Polymer80, a Nevada corporation selling “gun-related products,” challenged these sections as unconstitutionally vague. The district court ruled that NRS 202.3625 and NRS 202.363 are unconstitutionally vague.  The State parties appealed.  The questions presented in this appeal are the following: (1) Is the definition of “unfinished frame or receiver” unconstitutionally vague? (2) did the district court err in how it analyzed this vagueness challenge?
