RENO (KRNV MyNews4.com) – Sources tell News 4 that embattled Assemblyman Steven Brooks attempted to purchase a firearm from a sporting goods store in the Reno-Sparks area Thursday.

The source add that Brooks’ purchase of the firearm was denied.

News 4 has also learned Brooks, D-North Las Vegas, now has at least a temporary residence in Washoe County. It appears that Brooks has taken this residence in Washoe County to avoid being close to other lawmakers that have court-ordered restraining orders against the Assemblyman.

Check back for updates.

Brooks is trouble, and it appears he is doing his best to entice or drag law enforcement into a confrontation. Police should be ready to use less than lethal means to subdue Brooks when confronted.

This guy is not done yet...he needs to be locked up before he kills. All the signs are there and yet he still remains free!!

This just proves that HE has LOST HIS MIND !!! Anybody KNOWS that you can't buy a Gun with any DOMESTICATED VIOLENCE charges or convictions. AND THIS guy is an Assemblyman ? Who else would BETTER KNOW this restriction ? He can't get one LEGALLY...... SO his next step is ILLEGALLY on the streets. THIS IS YET to become a much BIGGER STORY not to far off in the Future.
