Oregon’s Astroturf Gun Group

While it’s interesting that candidates who never lifted a finger to protect gun rights are desperate to appear to have the support of gun rights organizations, voters deserve to know what’s really happening in our elections. And it’s not pretty. Do nothing organizations have long sought to cash in on the generosity and commitment of gun owners. And often they are quite successful. [More]

There’s clearly moneyed interests behind their site.

But they don’t want to tell you whose.

And I see no “social media” icons– I guess they don’t want to be called out in publicly viewable comments.

Oregon’s Judicial Sideshow

While this is a terrible system, one “race” is particularly troubling. The coronation for Appeals Court Judge Position 6. There your “choice” is…Jim Egan. (See “non partisan candidates”) And that should send chills up your spine if you still have any shred of faith in Oregon’s Judicial System. Egan, you may recall, was the “judge” who declared gun owners to be racist, anti-semitic, white supremacists in an unhinged rant against the people’s vote to create a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary in Columbia County. [More]

No one can say that Oregon gun owners haven’t strived mightily to use the ballot box and the jury box… meaning that’s exactly what they don’t say when they accuse us of being violent, hate-filled insurrectionist extremists.

It is fair to wonder how much longer gun owners will be “disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable“…

THE NRA ENDORSES ANTI-GUNNERS…AGAIN

Mannix has been promoting gun control for 25 years so his vote was to be expected. Charlie Conrad is new at this. His votes have been so egregious his own county party has demanded he resign. What in the world is NRA thinking? Well, they also endorsed Vikki Breese Iverson who was the Republican House Leader when they folded and handed a gun control victory to the Democrats with HB 2005. [More]

It’s what they do. The links I could provide…

Also get an update on the Vichycon gun group whose own words show them to be phonies.

With ‘Republicans’ Like These, Who Needs Clowns?

When we checked, the only candidate whose website listed this group as “endorsing” them was Goodwin. Two candidates we contacted had never heard of them and had not requested, and were unaware of, the endorsements. Hilariously, the website twice misquoted the Second Amendment as “the right to bear and keep arms.” [More]

But Democrats are the only ones laughing.

Who Is Oregon Gun Rights?

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?

Shall we ask?

A Temporary Respite

…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.

Now is NOT the time to relax.

Vichycons Gonna Vichycon

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.

Assisted Suicide

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?

Related UPDATE

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.

Your Guns and Money (That’s What We Want)

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…

Who Will Help Us Plant the Wheat?

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]

Everybody wants the bread.

Enduring the Interminable

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.

A Feature Not a Bug?

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.

Received Via Email

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 have for years:

I also do AmmoLand articles:

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.

Harney County Trial Ends. Helfrich Replaces Iverson

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.

Out with the Old

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.

This is No Time to Relax

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.

Folded Like a Cheap Suit

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.
