400% Increase for Connecticut Gun Permit Fees. California's usual antics. New Mexico bill requiring background checks for any type of firearm transfer.
It seems as though the blue states that voted for Hillary Clinton have set their sights on gun owners.
Are there any more examples of these revenge tactics in your state. It would be interesting to see if only the losers have adopted these methods of getting even with all you evil doers.

Yes indeed mine is... Don't let it happen to you! Fight for your rights! They are worth fighting for. Seattle has WAY to much power and sway in our state. Jay inslee, ed Murray, and state, AG bob or rob furgesson the one recently made famous for usurping presidential authority. They're like the Nazi youth camp counselors.
They passed i-594 that ONLY punisbes law abiding citizens and now it's basically illegal to loan a friend or family member a firearm. Everyone hates it. Legal gun owners are getting bitter. And personally I'm starting to think about moving. Kinda like Idaho personally...
They have stated they are openly trying to model their laws after Californias. I'll definitely be moving if that happens.

Democrats hold the governorship and both houses of the Oregon legislature. Once they get done dealing with the $1.8 billion budget shortfall, I'm expecting them to attempt a 10 round magazine limit this year.

Every time that California does something to violate our Second Amendment the liberals here in Washington, Seattle and Olympia think that they have to one up them.

In my town the city tried to ban private sales between individuals without first going through a dealer. Our State Attorney General deemed it unconstitutional with state law and shut it down. This town voted for Hillary of course.

Not so lucky here in Oregon. If fact, I can no longer LOAN a gun to friends since this constitutes 'delivering' a firearm without a background check. Of course, then they selectively enforce the law, not prosecuting those who "think right" on guns.

We are all too familiar with NY's unSAFE-ACT. Funny thing is, for the great majority, it has made little difference. Sure, ammo is harder to order online because the state gestapo will intimidate out of state sellers with inuendo and mis-information. Private transfer has continued and will continue. I have seen more people acquire "assault weapons" since before the law was changed.
Most of my friends are un-inidicted felons.

I'd hardly call it "revenge tactics," Dave. It's not as if this is a sudden change. The states you refer to have been passing anti-gun laws since long before the 2016 election.

http://www.guns.com/2016/09/16/oregon-ar...rosecuted/ How do you figure it's selective enforcement? The article says the case was dropped due to lack of evidence that the law had been violated.
Quote:None of the witnesses nor documentary evidence obtained by Oregon State Police prove that an actual transfer occurred, said Foote in a letter.

In CA we just voted to make cigarette smoking all but illegal, at the same time we voted to make pot smoking legal...Go figure.
As you know we are ridding ourselves of these evil firearms, with or without the consent of the 2nd Amendment.
On a good note, the golf in CA is year-round.

Here's the original story. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morn...5e16ee9f7c
If you can't make a case when the perpetrator admitted the crime to a reporter, you're either not much of an investigator or you're just not interested in prosecuting.

If you can't make a case when the perpetrator admitted the crime to a reporter, you're either not much of an investigator or you're just not interested in prosecuting. Apparently admission of guilt has to be to the authorities in order for them to pursue a case. The pastor didn't do so, none of his parishioners confirmed the story, and no one admitted to storing the gun.
Just out of curiosity, has either the OSP or the DA's office arrested and prosecuted any folks who "think wrong" on guns? I'm wondering if perhaps what you're seeing as "selective enforcement" is actually a matter of the OSP and DA wanting to avoid enforcing that law against anyone.

What I cant understand is why you even consider complying with these laws-unless your goal is to live to be the oldest person in your nursing home. Ghandi showed the way...non compliance with injustice..True, some will suffer. Thats always the cost of freedom from tyrany.

violation of many of these laws would cost the violator all firearms rights
its what the left wants.
even if you do not agree with a law, breaking it is not the way.
work the process, get it changed
