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.
Here’s the thing I found out and why I suggest low tech approaches known as “blitzing” house to house leaflet distribution through my years of campaigning http://www.theusmat.com/ there is a link to my campaigning page at that site. http://www.theusmat.com/home.htm
A piece of paper in the hand is tangible and remembered even if it’s discarded. And it’s immediate if they read it they might talk about the subject with their friends etc.
Videos are great if they know where to look and even if you post a link which means sending out an email or whatever they still have to work to get it. But if you have an idea by all means do it. Storybook your production and try and keep costs down .. Good Luck
They must smell blood in the water - every day they become more overt in their intentions to trash the Constitution and subjugate the People. There was a time when folks like the Founders would have brought them all up on charges of treason and sedition and carried out the prescribed punishments. If a company had a CEO and upper management that did to the company what the Left is doing to the country, the government would step in and squash them for damage done to the workers/investors. Yet self-same “government decides to squash the People of the “company” instead.
The only Concord bridge that matters now is the desk where you fill out your tax return...or not.
That is where you support the existing govt...or not.
That is where anyone’s true allegiance becomes manifest.
Good job!!
Be Ever Vigilant!!
Seems to me that they're trying to get some of their useful idiots like Oregon House Rep Mitch Greenlick assassinated in order to push firearms confiscation.
You don’t know what the hell you are talking about. There are plenty of conservative people in OR who are outvoted by freaks in Portland and Eugene, and Multonomah county always waits until all the other votes are in so they know how many to manufacture.
Speaking of drugs....maybe you have a bit of personal experience while posting?
BTW your posting history is very odd. 20 posts since 2008.
