Notes from the Resistance
Oregon Firearms has filed the first of what we believe will be numerous lawsuits to put the brakes on Ballot Measure 114, Oregon’s gun ban initiative. [More]
We know what’s at stake.
Here’s how you can help (select Oregon Firearms Educational Foundation).
“December 07, 2022 (Wednesday) will be the last day to purchase ANY firearm without a valid Oregon Firearm Purchase Permit.” [More]
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.
Received via email:
“Tomorrow” in this case means “today.”
This demented policy could pass or fail on fewer votes than virtually any other in memory. [More]
The enemy is counting on TINVOWOOTers…
Ballots will be arriving soon. We wanted to give you an update on Mz 114 and our efforts to defeat it. [More]
The corrupt tyranny in Oregon — and resistance to it by the dedicated few — continues.
Ballots are arriving. You may be disgusted, you may be frustrated, but you must vote. All indications are that Ballot Measure 114 is very close. If this passes we will face a long time and a lot of money to defeat it in court. [More]
And it has the potential to require a lot more than that, so it’s easier to fight this way.
Oregon may be on the verge of electing its first Republican governor in a generation next month. [More]
If they do, I wonder how the fine words about the Second Amendment will pan out.

This has been out for three weeks and only has 811 views to date on YouTube…? Is that indicative of the interest Oregon gun owners have in being informed, let alone involved?
And according to Oregon Firearms Federation:
With the media in the tank for them, they will not have to spend much on spreading their message, while we have been forced to spend a lot. An excellent video produced for us is being denied digital distribution because it “involves guns.” Of course it does. It’s a gun ban ballot measure!
I wish I could believe that Oregon gun owners who won’t lift a finger to do the easy things now are ready, willing, and able to do the hard ones later. How pathetic that a guy in Ohio does more to share advocacy information than most of them, and has for years.
And it’s not just them.
THE PARENTS BEHIND THIS RECALL ARE ALREADY RECEIVING DEATH THREATS [More]
No wonder the ones they’re recalling want their guns.
For the record though, I could not locate that person by name or handle. I don’t know what that means.
Oregon Safeway shooting: Multiple people dead after gunman opens fire at grocery store… The suspect opened fire in the parking lot with an AR-15 style rifle. [More]
Just in time for the ballot measure!
Note the suspect hasn’t been ID’d yet. My beef with gun advocates who say don’t “give him fame” is that by leaving him anonymous, interested parties can ignore/clean up internet tracks when they have someone who doesn’t fit an exploitable narrative.
The measure essentially ends the sale of all firearms in Oregon for the foreseeable future and bans the sales of most shotguns and all standard capacity magazines forever. Possession of those items outside your home will be a criminal offense. If you are caught in possession of a standard capacity magazine INSIDE your home you will be required to prove that you had it before the law went into effect. There will be no presumption of innocence. [More]
If you’re an Oregon gun owner, consider this a muster call willingness test.
One backer of the measure stated the she was “terrified” of firearms and had a visceral reaction of fear to them. Yet, in spite of her admitted, irrational behavior, she dominated the conversation on what the statement should say. [More]
So… SOP…?
This, as you know, is the measure that will virtually end the sale of firearms in Oregon. As expected, the deck was totally stacked. The only statement even considered was the one drafted by the proponents of the measure. [More]
Funny, how “majority rule” in “our democracy” is more and more starting to look like a dictatorship…
Basically the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission needs to hear from the public about the potential impacts of the ballot measure on different racial communities. [More]
The “equity” of totalitarianism is that it makes us all slaves.
GUN BAN MEASURE APPROVED FOR BALLOT. COMMENTS NEEDED. [More]
And not just any comments, as the post explains.
If a statement receives comments during the public hearing, the explanatory statement committee must meet to review comments and consider revisions to the statement.” [More]
So will any gun owners tune in and speak up?
But urban minorities will not be the only people who will find the legal purchase of a firearm almost impossible. [More]
Right. The object is for all of us to be slaves.
Why else would tyrant rulers demand a monopoly of violence?
Scappoose Backs Down [More]
I didn’t figure they had much stomach for conflict the way they make it so hard to find out who they are. You’d think you wouldn’t have to scroll down for the slideshow.
