Oregon Dems introduce bill banning most modern guns and authorizing warrantless searches of home

With the outrage over the Newtown massacre fading, gun-grabbers are hastening their efforts at the state level. The Oregon Firearms Federation (hat tip: Gateway Pundit) reports:

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." (snip)

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. (snip)

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.

Congratulations to Oregon voters.

These warrantless searches will be the spark that sets the whole country on fire.

They really do want to ignite it, don't they? So be it.

[ThunderSleeps]

Any law enforcement office or other government agent that enters your home without a warrant or without your permission is a legitimate target.

...and will get the same welcome hooded gangsters would get - full mags, including the NATO green-tip LAP rounds.

[Ouderkirk]

The are not “deomcRATS” they are communists and traitors.

We all know what needs to be done. Voting them out of office is not enough.

[ThunderSleeps]

I have my imsurance coverage by Ruger, Springfield and Smith & Wesson.

We must have the same agent! ;-) Mine is covered by Glock, Smith & Wesson, Mossberg, Ruger, Colt, Remington, and Rock River. Yeah, I celebrate diversity.

“Are there any sane persons who’d want to be the policemen or sheriffs assigned to try to forcibly enter people’s homes and steal their guns?”

The only leos, who might be safe would be the facist leos in Portland, Ashland and Eugene.

If this anti constitutional bs passes, the left wingers in charge of Orgone will make sure that illegals, enviral whackos and other left wingers will be able to have a gun.

[Lancey Howard]

That's the interesting thing about the 2nd amendment - - it's the amendment that protects itself.
...Just like the framers of the US Constitution intended.

I do believe leaky radiation cylinders at Oregon nuclear waste sites are more hazardous than guns.

Attention all gangbangers, drug dealers, murderers rapists pedophiles and everyday criminals OREGON is your new place of business.

Police state tactics, Oregon style

[steve86]

I probably agree with your sentiment, but what “Oregon nuclear waste sites” are those?

[Rannug]

I wonder if “they” would even recognize my Yugo M24/47

[faithhopecharity]

Yes, well there are certain “laws” that Americans patently won’t comply with. So that anyone proposing them has to be completely insane. “Stupid” just doesn’t explain some peopke.

[Tzimisce]

I think you need a warrant to search property....

[DownInFlames]

Mine is covered by .22, .308, and by .45 in various ammo cans.

Here is a new Free Republic thread featuring a new essay and 5-minute YouTube video titled “Democide: Socialism, Tyranny, Guns and Freedom.” The video has had 12,000 views in the first two days. Now the commie rat bastards have discovered it, and they are NOT happy with it.

I helped to produce the video. It’s an effort to lift the debate from Newtown “small ball” to the big leagues of state democide, where these efforts at “reasonable and commonsense” gun control laws always lead to death by the million in the end.

This whole game of our Elected Officials is sickening. We are slowly being taken over by the government, soon we will not be able to defend ourselves against them. When do we stand and say Enough is Enough? When?

Missouri Dems just banned "...semiautomatic pistols with a fixed magazine that can shoot more than 10 rounds before being reloaded...".

I can only think of one autoloading pistol with a "fixed magazine" (non detachable) which may also be the only autoloader which can use ammunition "clips". It was introduced in 1896 as the Mauser C96 in 7.62x25mm and later added 9x19mm versions. The good news for all those CCW owners of "Broom handle" Mausers, the "fixed magazine" holds exactly ten rounds so even under the Missouri strictures it would be acceptable.

Pictured is a "Red 9" Mauser C96. The 9 displayed in the handgrip (broom handle) is intended to distinguish a 9mm Parabellum chambered model from the externally identical 7.62x25mm version. Also note the usage of a "stripper clip" to facilitate loading the integral box magazine. I know of NO other autoloading pistols with these features.

Actually, eastern Oregon and Washington are overwhelmingly conservative. My home.
