Notes from the Resistance
After almost 30 years as advocates for Second Amendment rights, we can tell you we have no idea who “Oregon Gun Rights” is. They are not listed as a business by the Secretary of State. They are not a political action committee. [More]
They’re not listed here, either. This is all I could find.
So what should we think of a politican who claims their endorsement?
…we have received word from our attorney in the state case that the Oregon Appeals Court has denied the state’s request and as such, Measure 114, along with all its intended and very evil consequences remains “on hold” and not in force. [More]
Don’t uncork the champagne just yet:
But we are long way from having this nightmare behind us.
You are the reason there are court battles to stop Measure 114. Javadi and the Republican House Reps have done nothing to help in this battle and it’s disgraceful that they would try to use this vicious attack on your rights to hustle you. [More]
If Oregon Republicans aren’t going to fight, they can feel our pain.
It’s not like electing them makes a difference. And any money spent on them is money that won’t be available to fight the legal battles they should be leading in.
In House District 51, Marine combat veteran and pro-gun stalwart, Republican James Hieb, is facing a primary challenge from failed governor candidate Christine Drazan, who desperately wants back into politics… [More]
Oregon gun owners– do the self-interested thing and help.
Bogus “Suicide” Bill Passes. Republicans Help. [More]
Now look at how the Democrats portray “Christine Drazan, who did more to damage the House Republican Caucus than anyone in recent memory”:
A new report released today exposes Christine Drazan for accepting a $10,000 campaign contribution from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) — an extreme and powerful pro-gun lobby group, where the CEO of “Daniel Defense — which made the gun used in the massacre at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, in May” sits on the board of directors.
How desperate and stupid would you have to be to believe that compromising with totalitarians will earn you any more gratitude and respect from them than they would give to a toilet?

As you would expect, today’s “informational hearing” on Extreme Risk Protection Orders was actually a far left, gun grabbing, propaganda festival. [More]
Don’t forget to thank turncoat Brian Boquist.
This flushing of taxpayer money will come at a time that the Democrats are simultaneously declaring that Oregon is awash in cash* and they need massive new taxes. Meanwhile Republicans have once again joined Democrats to add to Oregon’s massive employee retirement debt with another bill you and your grandchildren will have to pay for. [More]
Hey, you can’t expect tyrants to persecute you for free…
The hearing on SB 1503, which we warned you about here, was exactly what you would have expected. A litany of leftists demanding more restrictions on firearms possession. [More]
And “leftists,” of course, includes the most odious of Republicans, Vichycons.
Republicans and Democrats have come together, once more, to attack gun rights. [More]
Remember when “Independent” Brian Boquist was a “Republican”?
They are furious, they are vengeful, and they are awash in your money. Gun owners have truly shown themselves to be David in a battle with Goliath. But our rights are hanging on the very edge right now. We absolutely must defend this critical victory. Every single dime will count. We hope we can count on you again. [More]
Today in Harney County, Judge Rashchio struck down every single objection the state raised to his decision to enjoin Measure 114. [More]
For now. Like all terminators, they’ll be back.
With Christmas just a few days away we know many of you will be traveling to be with loved ones on this holy day… That being said, we want to bring you an update on our ongoing efforts to overturn the absurd and unconstitutional ruling of Judge Karin Immergut . [More]
A little something for the stocking…?
Donations to OFF’s Political Action Committee may qualify for a tax credit of up to $100.00. That’s not a “deduction,” it’s better. Yes, you may be able to knock up to $100.00 off your Oregon tax bill and instead put it towards supporting good candidates in the coming election. [More]
While we are gratified and encouraged by the recent victory in Harney County, it’s important to note that legal efforts to protect the most fundamental rights of gun owners are a long way from over. [More]
Unless the tunnel being dug is redirected, I’m not sure seeing light at the end of it would be a good thing.
Judge Robert Raschio in Harney County has declared Measure 114 to be “facially unconstitutional by a finding of clear and convincing evidence…” [More]
The FBI says it can’t conduct gun permit background checks for Measure 114, even if the law survives legal challenges. [More]
I’d love to chalk this up to incompetence like what happened in Nevada with Question 1, but is it so difficult to believe this was an intended outcome designed to halt gun sales?
Meanwhile, Oregon Firearms Federation gives a case update along with a wider range of observations.
Great article! Yeah, it’s pretty funny that our great anti-gun president has a son who lied on his 4473 to get a gun(s).
Speaking of courts, Oregon hardly get press coverage of the what’s taking place in courts here, specifically the fight over Measure 114. I guess we’re regarded as a hopeless cause while coverage of cases in California, Massachusetts, NJ, NY which involve the same issues are always covered in Ammoland. Hmm
Thanks.
In re Oregon, I publish links to every alert Kevin Starrett and OFF put out and more on WoG:

I also do AmmoLand articles:
So does AmmoLand in general:
Our biggest problem is getting the word out — search engines and social media suppress us, and most readers don’t share links, so it’s easy to see how our stuff is missed– but it’s not because we’re ignoring it. We’re doing everything we can to juggle all the balls and drop as few as we can with the resources we have.
The judge now has about 60 days to reach a decision. While it is always risky to predict how a judge will rule, we think the trial went as well as possible considering the state has endless resources and supporters of the Constitution have to pay for their lawyer and the state’s… Meanwhile, the Oregon Firearms Federation federal lawsuit moves forward in the 9th Circuit where we believe all these battles will end up eventually. The defeat of the California ban is a very positive sign for that fight… [More]
That and the odious Vikki Breese Iverson has been replaced by Jeff Helfrich.
Iverson rolled over for virtually everything the far left wanted. Her “leadership” set back Oregon in ways that would be hard to calculate. [More]
It’s a pretty sad state of affairs when the best you can say about whoever will replace her is there’s a chance they may not be as bad.
In tangentially related news, it looks like the judge is seeing how the law can result in “disparate policing” and discriminatory enforcement.
And here in Oregon, the people we elected to stand up to this madness have caved. [More]
Peaceful revolution is being made impossible.

In a rational and lawful Republic, the DOJ would be enforcing rights and arresting violators.
With Oregon’s Legislature out of session and the first step in our Federal lawsuit to stop Ballot Measure 114 behind us, things may seem a bit “quiet” on the gun rights front. But like so much in life, things are boiling beneath the surface. [More]
Oregon gun owners need to take this time to understand their situation, recruit support, and get involved.
Today, after lengthy delays due to technical issues that shut down state websites, the House Republicans folded up and provided the quorum the Democrats needed to pass House Bills 2002 and 2005. [More]
The reality is, since we will not disarm regardless of what diktats are forced through, stupid and gutless Vichycons don’t realize they need us more than we need them.
Call or email Iverson. Remind her that Republicans inspired a lot of admiration while they were standing up. Remind her that you matter and you are furious that she would allow you to become a felon for exercising your rights. Remind her that walking out on clearly unconstitutional legislation is not an option, it’s a duty. And remind her that doing the right thing is a lot cheaper than a lawsuit. [More]
Or do nothing so that she only hears from a handful and presumes it’s safe to ignore them.
It’s about official as it can get. Senate Minority Leader Tim Knopp has made a deal with the Democrats and you are on the chopping block. Personally made firearms will be banned under Knopp’s sell out and while there is some talk of getting something on the record that it will not apply to AR style uppers, we have no reason to think they are actually going to change the language of the bill to clarify that. [More]
Yeah, throw the circling jackals a scrap of flesh. That’ll make ’em go away!
Well the bad news is we were right. Tim Knopp is making deals to throw gun owners under the bus. The “deal” will be to let the Democrats ban personally made firearms, a scheme courts have already determined to be unconstitutional. [More]
What? They won’t stop with that?
Leave it to gutless idiot f*****g Republicans. Fold on anything and that’s one less obstacle they need to overcome on their way to everything.
Anyone who doesn’t realize we’re dealing with lying devils who want it all is willfully deluded. Anyone who does realize it and “compromises” anyway is ultimately on their side.
But now the left is buzzing with talk of a “deal” to bring the Republicans back in exchange for the Republicans folding on personally made firearms, what the left calls “ghost guns.” [More]
Fold on anything and that’s one less obstacle they need to overcome on their way to everything.
