02.12.08 Silver Falls Safe. |
A
plan that would have made Silver Falls Park off limits to gun
owners has been withdrawn by its sponsor.
Citing "unintended consequences" Senator Fred Girod
has dropped his efforts to turn SIlver Falls into a National
Park.
It is illegal to have accessible firearms in National Parks
even for people with concealed handgun licenses. We first brought
this to your attention on January
13th.
Thanks to everyone who contacted Girod to voice your opposition.
Meanwhile, SB
1080 continues to race through the legislature and may be
heard on the House Floor as early as tomorrow.
Although supporters in the Senate praised the bill as putting
us much closer to total capitulation with the Federal
REAL ID act, others continue to claim it's nothing of the
kind.
Representative Dennis
Richardson has referred concerned voters to his on line
newsletter
where he is openly critical of Real ID, but then says
" I am actually impressed that SB 1080-1 is a good bill
for Oregonians regardless of party."
Representative Larry
Galizo responded to a concerned voter with this utterly
incoherent reply :"The bill is still being worked.
I will continue to base my vote on the specifics of the bill
when it comes before me.I appreciate you taking the time to
contact me on this bill. Again, I will only vote on a bill that
will balance access to credit, with worthwhile consumer protections."
Of course the bill is NOT "still being worked." It
cannot be further amended, and the bill has nothing to do with
"access to credit" or "consumer protections."
If this is the kind of diligence we can expect during this "special"
session, things are worse than any of us imagined.
The dangers of out-of-control data basing of American citizens
has been proven by the damage done by the Brady Bill. SB 1080
is another step towards the Brave New World of Big Brother,
and there is very little time to stop it.
