Sisolak v. Polymer80, Inc.

What the court held

Polymer80 brought a facial challenge to Nevada statutes criminalizing the sale, transfer, possession, purchase, transport, or receipt of unfinished firearm frames and receivers, arguing the definition of "unfinished frame or receiver" is unconstitutionally vague, and the district court agreed and permanently enjoined the laws. The Nevada Supreme Court reversed, holding the definition uses terms with ordinary meanings that give sufficient notice, that the offenses are general-intent crimes requiring the State to prove the defendant knew the object's characteristics, and that they do not invite arbitrary or discriminatory enforcement.
