“Nevada officials arrested a convicted felon allegedly in possession of ‘large quantities’ of a number of illicit drugs early Monday morning, this time within the confines of Burning Man proper, according to a news release from the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office. The man was also allegedly in possession of two firearms, in violation of federal law [sic], which prohibits those with felony convictions from having guns or ammunition, as well as the temporary closure order set down by the Bureau of Land Management that allows Burning Man to operate each year in the Black Rock Desert. During a traffic stop on the Esplanade (which is considered Burning Man’s ‘main street’ and serves as the divider between the man sculpture and the event’s many themed camps), officers performed a ‘probable cause search’ just after 2 a.m. Monday, the release said.” [editor’s note: The only applicabnle “federal law” is the 2nd Amendment – TLK] (09/02/25)
