Paul Evans vs. Reality

Like Democrats nationwide, Oregon’s Democrats are terrified that their grifts are being exposed and their payoffs to their friends are being revealed. Like cornered badgers they are going to lash out at anything that looks like real progress towards fiscal sanity. Get ready folks, it’s going to get uglier. [More]

You gotta wonder: Are they deluded or do they just want you to be?

Rock Meets Hard Place

Given the Democrat’s policies it’s hard to believe they have the slightest interest in protecting children from abuse, but what is most concerning is what this bill might become. It could easily transform into a vehicle for amendments that will serve no purpose except promoting Evan’s dream of ending civilian firearms ownership.

That committee has exactly no reliable pro gun Republicans on it. [More]

“Are you an involved Oregon gun owner?

Who will help me bake the bread?” asked the Little Red Hen.

Redefining the Terms

A quick read of the bill, SB 947, will show it to be a clumsy and poorly crafted effort to reinvent the meaning of the word “militia” with the single purpose of telling the people of Oregon that they are not part of what we all know they are part of and to further remind us that all power is vested in the military as controlled by Tina Kotek and the people are merely subjects.

This would be a good one to throw at Pam Bondi to see if she’ll fight states redefining what the Constitution says.

Out with the Old/In with…the Old

There are only two things that are certain in Oregon in 2025. Taxes and Republican surrender. [More]

Most would be like that everywhere if that’s what it took.

Don’t look for things to change in the Beaver State as long as the RNC and national “conservative” groups and PACs view principled primary challengers to be liabilities to seats the Party still has, and with the great fundraising hope being a traitorous gun-grabber.

What would it take to start changing that?

Maybe have a gun owners “strike” and sit out those races with Quisling candidates, and let the GOP know if they want a seat at the table, it needs to support us — if not out of principle, then desperation works, too.

Give up even those seats to the Dems? Why not? How much worse could it get?

Besides, we’ve got Bruen and a Supreme Court that’s poised to grow in our favor.

If you have a better plan, let’s hear it.

With Republicans Like Kim Wallan, Who Needs Democrats?

Dennis has been one of the most stalwart defenders of gun rights and liberty in general… So it would seem like a no brainer that Republican legislators would be all in for Dennis. Not so fast. House Rep Kim Wallan, Republican of Jackson County has now endorsed…Tobias Read. [More]

Letting Republicans continually get away with betrayals results in no incentive for them to stop. And you end up with this.

VOTE

While it seems unlikely that anyone who reading this would miss a vote, the reality is many gun owners do not register to vote or return their ballots. [More]

I kind of understand a fatalistic TINVOWOOT impulse. But I don’t get profiles in apathy. Or rejecting a self-defense tactic. I will keep trying with the tools at hand.

And I haven’t seen anyone who does plan on staying above us all flesh out a feasible plan for during whatever war may result and afterward, when rule by somebody is reestablished.

The other thing I haven’t seen from those who refuse to participate is a credible history of personal involvement working the system they reject.

My analogy is climbing out of a well. I’d rather start closer to the top than at the bottom, which is where a Kamala win will lead us. And my question for those who say “Bring it” is, what are you waiting for? When things get worse, the time will not be more opportune.

Let Them Lose

Oregon’s House Republicans pulled a “bait and switch” and extorted money from their members with a false promise of funding a lawsuit against the bill they helped pass. Since then they have pretended it never happened and just don’t want to talk about it. [More]

What Vichycons fail to understand is that those of us who will not disarm don’t need them, they need us. If they lose, a critical mass (say 3%?) still will not disarm and the game will move to a different level.

No Thanks to Vichycons

After helping the Democrats pass the bill, the Oregon House Republicans, in a cynical and disgraceful display of bait and switch, posed on the Capitol steps with a giant fake check that they said was going to be used for a lawsuit against the bill they had just helped pass…. Firearms Policy Coalition has announced their intention to fight this plainly unconstitutional law. They are currently seeking Oregon residents who could be plaintiffs in the case. This could be the fight so many have been waiting for. [More]

I’m if there are any creatures more self-servingly useless than Oregon establishment “Republicans”…
