A gun is used to defend a home and the people in it, so Mayor Adams concludes that more gun control is necessary. Perhaps some comments to Mayor Adams would be appropriate.

I should have said, Mayor Adams calls for more infringements on our Second Amendment rights.

So the mayor is concerned about guns in the hands of gang members. So banning them is going to do what to rectify that situation? Would the gang members abjure the possession and use of guns knowing that they are illegal? Do they carry their guns legally now? Have they acquired them legally? If a gang member has a choice of acquiring a gun legally in a gun store or acquiring a hot one on the street, surely he would go to the store, no?

The left is just dying to take away our right to self defense. They would much rather have the underclass break in and take what is “rightfully theirs” from the “oppressor” class.

Just another way liberals take money from people who work honestly all their lives and give it to people who vote democrat.

11th shooting in a week

Pikers. Chicago has more than that in one day.

Sam Adams is the Mayor who had sex with an underage boy and prosecutor and state AG declined to prosecute.

NE Portland has some wonderful old homes in some parts, but it is not the safest area in which to live.

Aside from one Safeway store, there really isn’t a single major national chain store in the area aside from some fast food joints.

Fortunately, almost all the shottings in Portland are gang related so no one much cares.

Portland Mayor Sam Adams said he thinks the city should add five new gun initiatives, to try and control the gun use and gang activity.

I would say that Mayor Adams has his head up his ass ...but, historically, it's been too crowded in that orifice to assume that there would be room.

Mayor Pervert sure isn’t hindered by laws when he goes careening through a parking lot in his pickup, with his pants undone. Police department works for him, so can’t blame them for letting it slide. What makes him think others criminals are going to abide by the law when he doesn’t?

Maybe they should cease Maine’s sanctuary state status.

Not only that, but this instance - and all others like it - will go into the “gun violence” total that the grabbers like to cite.

I don't think his initiatives will fly. Oregon has a preemption law that only allows the state legislature to regulate guns except for discharging a firearm in the city limits or carrying a loaded gun in public. He's into “feel good” stuff.
