Oregon ballot measure to ban "Assault" Weapons - biodsl - 03-20-2018
Post updated:
I suspect this will be on the November ballot in Oregon. Filed today. They're coming after our semi-autos and magazines larger than 10 rounds, including handgun mags. Looks like they're grand-fathering current owners but you have to be 'approved' (Story below says I'm wrong). This is going to be ugly. I expect it will pass.

Here's a news story.

OMG that is so over the top. If I'm reading that correctly, in order to have one grandfathered and registered, you would need to have your landlords approval if you're a renter. And your basically only allowed to use it at a "target range".

It does not look good for us. If we do not stop this it will be time to move.

If you live in Oregon, mobilize friends and family to vote.
For those of us outside Oregon, contribute to SAF, GOA and NRA-ILA.

Similar snit is occurring in FL too and we have a super republican majority. The sad thing is the problem isn't the guns as we always have had weapons, it's the breakdown of the family core unit and social values in the whole that is shameful. It's rather disheartening to watch but it's their agenda that must get stopped so we have to get off the sidelines and get in the game.

In Connecticut, most of the semiauto owners ignored their new unconstitutional law.

After all, if the only guns available were flintlock muzzleloaders, we would not have had any of these mass shootings...

Here you have a Lutheran pastor, wearing a white collar, being interviewed in front of his church, filing a political petition and using the church as a meeting hall...with no Political Action Committee in sight. How is this not a violation of the church's non-profit status? I wish Knutson was as concerned with saving souls as he is about banning guns.

Using the same reasoning, machetes would have to be banned. I forgot cars. They would have to be banned as well.

You would get bombings instead.

Why does every post have to turn into a pissing match. It's getting old.

The 'Ignore' feature helps.

The constant anti-gun rhetoric became tedious a long time ago. Just ignore him.

In the left-side box click "Add to Ignore List".
It doesn't works as well as DISQUS.
You'll still see that a post is there, but it will say,"This message is hidden because ***** is on your ignore list."

Y'all can stick your heads in the sand and delude yourselves into believing the gun is not a factor, but that will neither solve the problem, nor stop anti-gun laws.

Like an atheist claiming membership of a church but lately wanting to argue the existence of God. If you are not careful you're just going to upset people. My advice is to accept that this is a gun forum and people come here because they love guns. Not just any guns, the calibre is AR specific so your arguments against owning AR's are anathema.
This is my last post on the matter.
