Nevada’s top five Republican candidates for governor on Wednesday debated on a number of issues impacting Americans, including inflation, abortion rights, illegal immigration, and this week’s school shooting in Texas…. During the hour-long televised debate, the candidates were asked to share their thoughts on the recent shooting at a Texas elementary school…. Heller pointed out that the latest Texas elementary school incident marks the 27th school shooting in the country this year alone while pointing to rising violence in Clark County schools…. The former police officer, who has built much of his campaign around restoring law and order, said: “I also support background checks, not universal, but regular background checks, associated with removing an individual who is prohibited and may or not possess a gun.” Immigration at the southern border was another key issue discussed by the candidates, and the five were asked whether they would send Nevada National Guards members to the border.
