Notes from the Resistance
THIS BILL COULD PUT YOU IN PRISON [More]
If you think about it, they all could.
It’s an old Stalinist strategy his ideological heirs intend to apply with full force.
UPDATE
And to channel my inner ShamWow pitchman, “But wait! There’s MORE!“
The lawsuits against Mz 114 continue to wind their way through the courts. And, to no one’s surprise the legal bills keep rolling in. [More]
More than one judge has shown hostility and costs are mounting.
Related UPDATE
On March 28th at 3pm, the Senate Education Committee is scheduled to hold a “work session” on SB 551. This bill requires that schools “provide specified information related to secure storage of firearms.” [More]
The attacks from all directions never stop. So neither can we.
Two gun bills were filed this week that we think you should know about… a straight-up attack on core gun rights [and a supposedly ] pro-gun bill [that] has the potential to make things even worse for gun owners. [More]
Boquist’s conversion to the Dark Side is complete.
On March 7th at 3PM the Senate Education Committee is scheduled to hear SB 551. Senate Bill 551, in its original, unamended form “Requires school districts to provide specified information related to secure storage of medications and firearms. Directs Oregon Health Authority to make information available to school districts.” [More]

“Intervenors came before this court and referenced UN mandates, which … is a well-documented trope meant to invoke white supremacist, antisemitic fear of a takeover of our country by outsiders and minorities who are manipulated by an elite class of supervillains,” Egan wrote. The Columbia County ordinance (and by implication, all Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions throughout the Republic) has “antisemitic and racist origins,” he declares. [More]
With judges adopting Antifa’s rhetoric, can communist “people’s courts” for counterrevolutionaries be far off?
Judge Calls Second Amendment Protection Laws Racist and Anti-Semitic [More]
I’m going to write something up but just wanted to get this out there for now.
At the moment, gun owners are somewhat protected by the State Judge’s injunction though thousands are still being denied their rights due to the inaction of the Oregon State Police. However, the Oregon Department of Justice, and its militantly anti-gun Attorney General have made it quite clear that they will do all they can to force the implementation of Mz 114 and its unconstitutional and extreme restrictions on civil rights. [More]
The intent is to disarm citizens. And they won’t stop until they’re stopped.
Gun owners in Oregon, (and Gun Owners of America) scored a major victory today when the Oregon Supreme Court again slapped down the anti-rights extremists and upheld a stay on Mz 114. [More]
I expect when GOA releases its announcement you’ll find it here.
“This Is Not A Gun Bill.” [More]
You just can’t have guns while practicing defensive tactics with your friends.
I wonder what the Green Mountain Boys would have said about that.
Why are Democrats Protecting Antifa? [More]
Reminds me of another question…
Besides, domestic enemies can’t allow anything necessary to the security of a free State…
The Oregon Legislative session is rolling on. We are now monitoring about 25 bills that would affect gun owners. As always, the Democrats are hard at work attempting to enable violent criminals and endanger law abiding Oregonians. As an added bonus they are working to pass legislation to allow criminals to vote FROM JAIL. [More]
Who better to vote to disarm you?
By now you may have heard or seen stories in the media claiming that the firm “representing” Oregon Firearms Federation in our Federal lawsuit is owed thousands of dollars in legal fees. This allegation is false. Maxine Bernstein (mbernstein@oregonian.com; 503-221-8212) a “reporter” for the failing “Oregonian” who made these allegations (which were parroted by others in the cartel media), knows it’s false. [More]
Jeez, if we can’t believe a “real reporter,” who can we believe?
I don’t see this up on the OFF Alerts page yet, so I went ahead and posted it to my WoG Placeholder blog.
THE OREGON LEGISLATURE’S ANNUAL ATTACK ON GUN RIGHTS BEGINS ON TUESDAY JANUARY 17TH [More]
That said, I’ve gotta wonder how many gun owners actually involve themselves in organized efforts to fight back, and what those who won’t think a militia is.
Oregon Democrats continue to grab at it all with a virtually unlimited plunder war chest, and Oregon Republicans are pretty much self-defeating when they’re not being useless. [More]
Oregon judge extends ban on new gun law’s background checks… [More]
And if you don’t think the “Charleston Loophole” is a “dangerous gap,” just ask Google!
114 STILL ON HOLD [More]
While the legal wrangling is going on, recognition of “unalienable” rights is not.
Time was tyrannical outrages were properly regarded as Intolerable Acts.
If you are experiencing the symptoms of whiplash, you are not alone. The saga of Measure 114 is moving so fast and taking so many unexpected turns that keeping up is nearly impossible, and, in fact, most in the media have not been able to. [More]
Which is why those following the story need to make Oregon Firearms Federation Alerts a regular stop.
Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) in state court, preventing the entire new Oregon gun control law from being enforced. Signed by Judge Robert S. Raschio, the order bars the state from implementing any portion of the law until a hearing is held on a request for a preliminary injunction next Tuesday. [More]
I guess it all depends on the judge…
UPDATE
This email from Oregon Firearms Federation just came across the transom. Since it is not yet posted to the “Alerts” page I am pasting it here in its entirety:
Early this morning we were notified that Judge Karin Immergut has denied our motion to delay the implementation of Ballot Measure 114.
She did agree with the state’s request to delay the permitting process for 30 days. A process the state assured the court will be ready by Thursday.
That will provide no protection for anyone who currently owns a standard capacity magazine or anyone who owns a common shotgun which will now be contraband.
It also does nothing for anyone waiting to take possession of a firearm they paid for but have not received, if that gun comes with a standard magazine.
Furthermore, come Thursday even security guards and off duty police will be breaking the law if they are in possession of a standard magazine.
This is a lengthy (and obviously disappointing) decision and we will have more information soon. But for now, unless something really unexpected happens, understand that your rights will be, once again, seriously eroded starting Thursday.
Firearm enthusiasts in Oregon are flocking to gun stores as they wait to find out whether a federal judge will delay the start of a strict permit-to-purchase law before Thursday’s deadline. “The parking lot has been a disaster,” Northwest Armory owner Karl Durkheimer told Fox News. “The side streets around our place have been a disaster.” [More]
I wonder how many didn’t lift a finger and let groups like Oregon Firearms Federation carry all the load without helping.
I wonder how many are Democrats.

I just hope all the independent actions coordinate with rather than sidetrack the original effort.

The useful idiot dilettante billionaires bankrolling this abomination don’t care whose livelihoods are destroyed or whose rights are usurped as long as this wins them “progressive” accolades for being enlightened and benevolent. It’s not like they have to worry about what “those people” want.
We are all in on this fight. Oregon Firearms Educational Foundation will use every resource at our disposal to overturn this mean spirited, evil attack on our rights in court. Period. But we have to act fast to save the many small businesses that the “people of faith” in Portland have been working to destroy. [More]
I’ll be working this afternoon on an article about this.
