What Other Rights Can States Ignore?

This is the last stop for Ballot Measure 114 on a state level. Given the makeup and history of the Oregon courts, it would be wise to not be too optimistic about the outcome. As usual, we hope we are wrong on this issue. And, keep in mind, that, irrespective of the outcome, the Oregon Legislature will continue to enact every possible impediment to gun ownership in Oregon even as it seeks to protect criminals and the violently mentally ill.

If only we had a Justice Department committed to protecting unalienable rights from state and local abuses…

The Clock is Ticking…

…on Second Amendment rights in Oregon. [More]

They’ll still have them. It’s just that the courts, the state and its enforcers won’t recognize them.

This is what happens when Democrats rule and the Republicans are neutered.

This is what happens when citizens by and large succumb to bias and intellectual laziness, and have been indoctrinated into hating an outnumbered minority that still values the truth.

This is what will happen everywhere, in Everytown, should that prevail where we are.

THE REPUBLICANS CAN STOP THIS [More]

If they don’t it’s because they don’t want to, meaning Oregon gun owners must look to the Republican feds, who don’t seem to want to, either.

You Can’t Have One Without the Other

To my fellow Oregonskis, you are outnumbered and your only hope, just like the blacks of the 20th Century lies in federal intervention. And federal intervention it must be. We await a newly invigorated Civil Rights Division of a purged US Department of Justice to get busy. [More]

Which will never happen unless “gun rights groups” stop kissing administration @$$ and start leading their millions of member in demanding it.

I also received this comment via X message:

Howdy. I appreciate your efforts and work! Thought I’d send this privately rather than comment under the article. This is an incorrect take. The Oregon appeals court’s ruling was based on the state constitution as the lower court judge (Raschio) made it clear his decision (pro gun rights) was based on the Oregon constitution (which was an important distinction based on the Federal court decision discussed next). It was the Federal court judge (Trump appointee Immergut) who heard the 2A arguments on measure 114 almost 20+ months ago and attempted to narrow 2A rights with her pro measure 114 100+ page opinion. Raschio’s ruling merely gave us Oregon gun owners a 20 month reprieve (during which time the US Supreme Court should have addressed the issue via Snope and others, but has failed to do so). My $0.02 anyway… Take care & I hope this didn’t come across rude or arrogant, as it was not my intention.

While I don’t recall going into those details to make it an “incorrect take,” it’s not arrogant or rude: I appreciate the background insights.

Oregon Court Decision Sides Against Second Amendment and with Tyranny

If it were other civil rights being violated by a state, precedent has already been established that the U.S. Department of Justice would step in and put a stop to it. Gun owners should demand the same for the Second Amendment from an administration that literally owes its electoral victory to them, and our “gun rights leaders” should be the loudest voices making sure it can’t be ignored.

Yo, AG Bondi: A little help here? Or will your DOJ continue being selective about which rights it will protect?
