What’s the point of having the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision if states can ignore it with impunity?

As you no doubt know, the Oregon Appeals Court has ruled Mz 114 “constitutional.” [More]
I submitted an AmmoLand article on this yesterday and will link up when it’s posted.

As of right now they have posted it as an “informational” hearing with “invited testimony only.” That means that only their handpicked, anti-gun shills will be allowed to speak. [More]
Welcome to the tyranny of the majority, aka Democrat rule.

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?

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]

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

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.

While it is always a risky business to make predictions in this tumultuous political environment, you don’t have to be Nostradamus to see that 2025 is going to be a very bad year for gun owners (and gun dealers) in Oregon. [More]
If we had a DOJ that protected citizens from state infringements, it would be a very bad year for rights deniers.

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.

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.
