Damn gun. It should be arrested and sentenced to death!

Another left-wing state trying to disarm itself.
When TSHF, rounding up the commies in Oregon will be easy.
Another communists Democrat run State. They are destroying themselves and are too stupid to understand.
he called “common-sense legislation regarding gun safety.”
People who keep using this term could use a frying pan to the face.
At least is sound like HB3200 is gone. It was a berserk anti “assulat rifle” farce.
The gun test requires 100 rounds to complete. They might as well mandate a pistol course at Gunsite Academy.
More easy pickins for the criminal element.
Seems like this proposed legislation is solving problems that don’t exist.
