More from Bearing Arms blog: Oregon State Sheriffs' Association: "As of the date [Measure 114] goes into effect we believe that all firearms sales by dealers, at gun shows and most private transfers (other than to a close relative) in Oregon will immediately stop."
That law needs to be tossed on its head too - as nothing about Oregon's constitution says that.
Initiative Petition and Vote by Mail need to be excised completely before Oregon can ever hope to have legitimate elections and keep insane shit from being passed into law by feelings and not whats actually good for the people
Shows it's about infringement of rights, not about "gun violence".
IIRC all 4 initiatives on the ballot were changes to the OR Constitution. Making this a moot point.
Never gonna happen. IMO the genie cannot be put back in the bottle. D's are in control, and D's aren't going to eliminate their election advantage. And the Initiative feature is extremely popular with both sides. (Unfortuately, it gives us crap like 114 AND no hunting cougs with dogs.) So the problem with the initiative system is the voting demographics, ie, the people. Rural OR continues to get beat by the weirdos along I-5. The past Gov was right when he asked Californians not to visit but don't stay.
Looking over 114 - I don't see language that changed the actual state Constitution -
And here is president of Oregon State Sheriffs' Association with a video on topic. He makes the point that measure 114 is underfunded and will require sheriff's to cut back/move people and money around to pay for this measure. That won't play well with the elected officials who set the sheriff's budgets as it might mean increase taxes and face the voters.More from Bearing Arms blog: Oregon State Sheriffs' Association: "As of the date [Measure 114] goes into effect we believe that all firearms sales by dealers, at gun shows and most private transfers (other than to a close relative) in Oregon will immediately stop."
Problems in Hawaii is a preview of what can happen in Oregon. Backlog of paperwork of course and also lack of range facilities on island of Oahu were most people live.
Several county sheriffs have been reported as not going to enforce measure 114.Simple solution is not to enforce 941 or 114. Budget issues solved.
I think the ticket is for local authorities to not assist with any batf criminal investigations.
I didn’t read any of what you posted because what I meant was overall needs to not support the batf at this point.BATFE won't be enforcing 114 though - only the draconian federal BS.
Local sheriffs should simply refuse to lodge *any* person arrested or charged with a 114 violation or any firearms related violation other than maybe felon in possession. No city or state or federal prisoners arrested or charged with any firearms offense.
We'll see though - there are rural sheriffs who are playing word games trying to not just outright say they won't enforce it, or outright say that they *will* enforce it.
Having faith in the federal courts I think is foolhardy - I don't think SCOTUS is really our friend, despite the good decisions they've had - they've also punted on other cases that would've further solidified our rights.
All gun laws are infringements, and any politician or asshole group putting forth bills to infringe on them should hang as traitors. Lets see THAT on the ballot.
