Yesterday was the first day in OFF’s federal trial to stop the implementation of the very dangerous and unconstitutional Measure 114. [More]
It’s revealing, what’s not being allowed and what the media isn’t informing the public about.

Except I also need to point out who the robed idiot that said that was nominated by.

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]

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]

Measure 114 Lawsuit News
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.

The intent is to disarm citizens. And they won’t stop until they’re stopped.

While the legal wrangling is going on, recognition of “unalienable” rights is not.
Time was tyrannical outrages were properly regarded as Intolerable Acts.
A Series of Unfortunate Events
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.
Motion Denied
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.
Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before
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.
