Notes from the Resistance
As you may know, for some time the Oregon State Police’s Firearms Instant Check System Unit has been denying firearm transfers to people who have had convictions expunged or “set aside”… Attorney Ross Day, (who defended our Foundation against a years-long attack of lawfare) received word from the ATF that it agreed the policy was unlawful. [More]
Can we expect the same cooperation from Democrats controlling the state as they extend to ICE?
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. [More]
If only we had a Justice Department committed to protecting unalienable rights from state and local abuses…
“The State bears the burden of proving that its immoral scheme to criminalize rights is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition, and they will fail.” [More]
Actually, unless and until the Supreme Court rules in favor of the uninfringed right of the people to keep and bear arms, the burden will continue to be entirely borne by the state’s victims.
…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.
SB 243 is now in effect. The bill bans specialty accessories like “binary” and “forced reset” triggers and bump stocks. It also allows any government entity to place its property off-limits to concealed handgun license holders. [More]
So, the Democrats will be satisfied now and stop any further attacks…?
Right…?
Now all Oregonians will be getting a taste of what the legislature dishes out to gun owners year after year. [More]
Based on results Democrats getting a free ride like the taste, the brainwashed ones in the middle have bought into the “fair share” nonsense, and the ones at the top gaining more power and influence have money men to dodge and minimize the impacts.
Unlike many Republicans, we are not taking a victory lap. In spite of the dump of press releases from Republican legislators, Oregon’s law abiding gun owners, once again, got screwed while criminals and crazy people got a big boost. [More]
The place was left a mess with no one allowed to clean up.
Every Republican who shows up from now on is voting to end your gun rights. [More]
Note who shows and their priorities will be clear.
Republican Senator Fred Girod said he believed the point of the bill was to make guns more expensive. We disagree. The bill is clearly designed to make guns unavailable. [More]
Don’t look to the controlled opposition to deny a quorum.
UPDATE
I’m told the House decided a floor show was an appropriate people’s business concern:
Democrat’s Criminal Protection Bill Passes Committee [More]
So, at what point does Bondi’s DOJ turn its eyes to Oregon?

Gun Store Shutdown Bill Back [More]
Just when you thought they were done harassing us for the day.
Ignorance and arrogance (a dangerous combination) are to be expected from this collection of cackling hens, but things get a lot more dangerous when that level of stupidity is expressed by the legislators who will be ramming this bill into law. [More]
Don’t look for Republicans under Christine Drazan to do anything meaningful to repel the assault.
Democrat’s Absurd Gun Ban Moves Ahead… The Democrat’s gun owner entrapment bill, SB 243… makes instant criminals out of Oregonians who lawfully obtained and lawfully used certain devices such as forced reset triggers. [More]
And absurd Republicans are helping them.
Expect bad things to start happening very quickly. [More]
Oregon gun prohibitionists are making sure gun owners don’t have time to react. And Oregon Republicans are wavering between useless and in bed with the grabbers.
Making Criminals Out Of The Law Abiding [More]
Then, as Claire Wolfe says, free your inner outlaw.
Be the best criminal you can be. Just be smart about it.
One More Attack Moves Forward [More]
And when they pass that they’ll be back for more.
Lest anyone thought it was about “public safety“…
Hey, maybe they should write their legislators…
The purpose of the bill is to remove from Oregon statute any mention of the “unorganized militia.” [More]
I don’t care if a racist traitor is stupid. He’s still a traitor.
Although some are counting on him being both.
Senate Bill 1015 “Requires the Department of Justice to develop and implement a grant program to award moneys to eligible entities to reduce community violence in communities experiencing disproportionately high rates of community violence.” [More]
What could be more fair than non-violent and productive people picking up the tab — or else..?
