Two days after Senate Democrats claimed they would not seek a ban on modern firearms and feeding devices, Democrats in the Oregon House introduced just that.
Seven Senators joined with eight House Reps to introduce a sweeping ban on virtually all modern firearms. Among the Senators is, of course, Ginny Burdick, who claimed on Wednesday “that she is backing off an attempt to push through a bill on gun clips that she drafted following the December shootings at the Clackamas Mall.” The other sponsors are:
Representatives BAILEY, BUCKLEY, DEMBROW, FREDERICK, READ, REARDON, TOMEI, Senators , DINGFELDER, HASS, MONNES- ANDERSON, MONROE, SHIELDS, STEINER- HAYWARD.
Remember them.
HB 3200 not only bans most modern guns and magazines, it allows warrantless searches of your home, requires background checks and registration for a firearm you already own and as-of-yet undefined storage requirements. We say “a firearm” because even if you comply with the restrictions in this bill you may still only own one.
(Of course the bill does not apply to “government employees”.)
The bill combines the most extreme and irrational elements of other bills that have been introduced across the country. For example, one of the firearms banned under this bill would be a pistol with a “folding, telescoping or thumbhole stock.” No, that is not a misprint.
The principle sponsor of the bill is House Rep Mitch Greenlick, who in the past has concentrated on such worthy endeavors as banning children in bike trailers and making possession of cigarettes a crime.
The bill bans such deadly features as “pistol grips” and “barrel shrouds” because clearly they add to the lethality of any firearm. These people are so full of hatred for gun owners they don’t even understand what they are banning.
Never have we seen legislation that was a product of so much ignorance and blind hatred. And don’t take any comfort from the claims that bills of this kind are not going to get a hearing. You will recall that last session they said the same thing about a ban on licensed carry in schools. They claimed it was dead and then revived it in the closing days of the session with even allowing public testimony. It was only your relentless efforts that killed it. And now we need you again. Please use our automailer to send a message to the legislature to do all they can to stop HB 3200 and any bill like it. You can use the message provided or write your own.
Tell ‘em all to come get some. The lefties that i know are awakening to these idiots. The dimwit ruling class is over playing their hand.
Wanna bet these lawmakers are protected by armed guards or police when in session.
“If only I could turn back the hands of time.”
1948, I was 3 weeks old, when we first came to Oregon. I’ve lived all but 10 years since in this state. Breaks my heart, I don’t recognize it any more.
Thanks, Twotone.
“The dimwit ruling class is over playing their hand.”
Oh, I hope you’re right. The lefties I know seem to just be dug in even more with every dumb@$$ idea they come up with.
If I were to post my thoughts on this subject, I would be banned from FR. Worse, the local police would be beating down my door. So, I’ll just keep it to myself. Hoping, that it happens.
LOL.... you moved into the state the very same year that I did.
Yes, the changes are very sad.
Thanks for the posting. When I see a post like this I hope FR 2nd amendment supporters use their printer and print up a batch and spread them around their favorite watering hole or coffee shop..
I wonder where and when the next Concord bridge will happen.

You, too, M. Kehoe, stay safe. Not lookin’ good these days, is it??
AuntB, I think Salvantion has a (the?) OR ping list.
Welcome back to Oregon....
Have you seen SB 401 OR Dem Senator Bates is proposing as an amendment to the State Scenic Waterways Act? More strangulation and insanity. Look for a letter to the editor in the Daily Courier soon. If they print it...
If I came upon any of these Anti Constitution Traitors swinging from a Tree, I wouldn’t shed a tear for them.
In fact, if they were still squirming for breath, my NRA Knife would stay safely secured in my pocket while I watched the rope vibrate.
I might try to cut the rope Clint Eastwood style using my AR-15, but it would only be to practice my accuracy.
But hey, that’s just me.
Then, since you can't buy a gun without the government OK, they pull (emphasis mine):
"SECTION 6. { + This 2013 Act being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety, an emergency is declared to exist, and this 2013 Act takes effect on its passage. + }
Then shut down the background checks - no more gun allowed to be legally sold. The authorities did this during the LA riots for the same reason. That's when those naive unarmed people who depended upon the government to protect them found out they didn't, and were left helpless.
‘bout time to start warming up the tar, fluffing up the feathers, and lining up the rails. These SOBs and their ilk need to be made an example of.
Yes, I said it!
Well this is #$@#%s...not surprising but it still is. What IS surprising is DeFazio’s name is NOT on it.
Oh and welcome HOME!
Now to find who owns the OR ping list.

Ha ha ha ha ha! You people in Oregon are too stupid to pump your own gas, too stupid to own a gun, and apparently, have just been proven to be too stupid to elect representatives any smarter than yourselves. Are you sure you guys didn’t legalize dope waaay before your friends to the north?
Congratulations, it must suck to be you!
I'm planning a rather rude video for YouTube I hope will go viral. Trying to get a couple of actors lined up and I'll need to borrow some riot gear for it.
