Notes from the Resistance
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.
Oregon Sheriffs Will NOT Issue “Permits to Purchase”- All Magazines Banned [More]
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.
