The Oregon Legislature, due to convene on Feb. 1, has started making available pending legislation. While there will no doubt be plenty more to come, we wanted to share with you some of the early proposals coming out of Salem.

Two bills in particular caught our eye.

We already told you about Kate Brown’s proposal to institute indefinite delays on gun purchases if the Oregon State Police don’t do their jobs. We shared a draft of that bill a few weeks ago. Now it’s a “bill,” HB 2237. This bill would eliminate the small and rarely used safeguard that allows a firearms transfer to take place after 3 business days have elapsed since the time a background check is initiated, if OSP does not issue a “permission slip” to exercise your rights.

In reality, few dealers are willing to complete a transfer without an approval, many believing they are liable if the check eventually ends up with a denial. The fact is, dealers are protected under Federal law if they complete transfers under these circumstances, but we have heard from more than one dealer who received veiled threats from the OSP and the Feds if they lawfully completed a transfer after 3 days.

While we have seen about 22 bills that effect gun owners, we wanted to tell you about two we found particularly odd: HB 2523 and HB 2526.

Both of these bills are sponsored by Senator Elizabeth Hayward, a Democrat, and House Rep Knute Buehler, a Republican. Both are physicians.

Interestingly, Hayward suffers from mental health issues, which makes her sponsorship of both bills somewhat concerning.

HB 2523 “Authorizes  gun  dealer  to  accept  for  safekeeping  firearm  surrendered  by  person  or  family  or household  member  of  person  who  is  at  risk  of  causing  physical  injury  to  self  or  others  with  firearm.”

The bill would appear to allow a family or household member to take someone else’s guns to a gun store and ask the gun dealer to store them because they think the person who owns the guns is dangerous. The dealer must then secure the gun “in a secure location.”

There is no requirement that the person who took the guns to the gun store have even the smallest qualification to determine another’s state of mind. But the bill gets even stranger. Under the bill, the gun must be returned to whoever brought it in, or whoever can prove ownership of the gun, when they request it. If anyone can explain how this makes sense, please let us know.

Aside from the fact that there is not a single reason why any gun dealer would want to accept this  responsibility with no compensation, it is hard to understand how a person taking your gun to a dealer against your will is not committing a theft. The bill does not require the gun dealer to conduct a background check to return the gun to the person who brought it in, or someone who can “prove” the gun is actually theirs, unless “required under Federal law.” It would appear Docs Buehler and Hayward need an introduction to Gun Laws 101. Keep in mind, under SB 941, which passed in 2015 with strong support of Dr Hayward, it is a crime for a person who is concerned about their mental health to allow a friend to safeguard their firearms.

HB 2526 will require gun dealers to provide “educational” material on suicide. These materials must be in a “prominent location near the point of sale.” The bill requires the Department of Justice to “create or approve” … “firearm safety and suicide prevention material.”  But wait, it gets better. “Multiple versions of materials must be created or approved, to reflect the different local values and cultures within this state.”

Buckle up folks. It is going to be a bizarre legislative session. And we are just getting started.

After her defeat to fascist Brad Avakian in her run for Secretary of State, (who himself lost to a rational person, Dennis Richardson) we could well face anti-gun extremist Val Hoyle back in the legislature.

You will recall it was Hoyle who rammed through the worst gun bill in Oregon history, SB 941. She was soon rewarded with a quarter million dollar pay-off from the New York billionaire and anti-gun zealot.

Senator Chris Edwards resigned last month and now the Lane County Commissioners are voting to replace him. Hoyle is one of the proposed candidates.

We have been told all the prospective replacements are “left of Lenin” but we know that Hoyle is Bloomberg’s handmaiden and very much in his debt.

Please contact the Lane County Commissioners and tell them “ANYONE BUT HOYLE.”

This vote could happen as soon as Wednesday. Please contact the commissioners today.

The email address for all commissioners provided on their website is lcbcccom@co.lane.or.us. Individual email addresses can be found here.

They can be reached by phone at (541)-682-4203

11.30.16

Kate Brown has announced the first of what we are sure will be an epidemic of anti-gun bills for 2017.

This proposed legislation mimics, and adds to, the concept behind HB 4147 from the 2016 session. A draft of the new bill can be seen here.

Currently Oregon law contains a safeguard, similar to Federal law, which simply says if the agency responsible for conducting background checks on firearms purchases is unable, or refuses, to complete a background check within a certain time frame, the buyer or “transferee” of the firearm may still legally take possession of the gun. In Oregon, background checks are conducted by the state police, often very badly.

The law does not require that gun dealers complete the transfer, it simply allows them to.

What the Governor is proposing is to eliminate that safeguard. She and other anti-gun Democrats are calling it a “loophole.”  Not a day goes by that we do not hear from someone who is being delayed on a firearms purchase for no reason. Often these are people who have successfully completed transfers in the recent past. Many times they are people with valid concealed handgun licenses.

There is NO limit on how long the Oregon State Police can take to complete a check. There are people who have waited two years.  If the State Police claim they need information from another state, and that state simply refuses to cooperate, a perfectly qualified person can be “delayed” on a purchase forever.

As you know, thanks to the passage of the Democrat’s SB 941 in 2015, virtually all private transfers are now illegal. As a result, this proposed legislation could become a de facto ban on gun purchases for anyone who the Oregon State Police simply say they cannot find enough information on.

The current system is a complete failure. You are required to ask the OSP for permission to exercise a right. If, through bureaucratic bungling or simple foot dragging, the OSP says it cannot complete your “permission slip” you are simply out of luck.

Imagine the impact this could have on a person attempting to obtain her first gun for self defense while facing a known threat. She knows the state and the police cannot protect her and now she is being told she cannot protect herself.

We were able to defeat this dangerous legislation in 2016 when anti-gun extremist, Jennifer Williamson introduced it. Now it’s back, no doubt the first of many. To express your concerns about this new and senseless attack on your rights and safety, please contact Heidi Moawad in the Governor’s office. Heidi.MOAWAD@oregon.gov

Talking points you may want to consider in your communication.

The rule that allows, but does not require, the transfer of a firearm after 3 business days have elapsed is not a “loophole” it is a safeguard.

The proposed legislation has absolutely no protections for persons unjustly denied a firearms purchase.

The proposed legislation places many people, especially women, in grave danger by potentially eliminating their ability to obtain a firearm for protection of themselves and their family.

The proposed legislation has no provisions for dealing with other states that do not cooperate with OSP’s records requests.

The proposed legislation contains no appeals process or other mechanism for persons to challenge unjust delays, which could, under this legislation, become de facto denials.

The Oregon State Police already have a terrible track record of conducting these checks and an equally bad record of responding to persons who have been delayed without cause.

The next wave of anti-gun legislation is on its way. This is the first announced proposal. Please make your voice heard and be prepared to do it again and again.

And remember, while the Republicans are in the minority, the Democrats love one thing more than they hate gun owners, and that’s money. But they cannot raise taxes without some Republicans agreeing.  The Republican minority has the power to block any tax bill and can, and should, use that leverage to tell the Democrats NO MORE GUN CONTROL. It’s going to be a rocky year. Stay involved.

November 9. 2016

The election of Donald Trump, along with victories for the Republicans in both the House and Senate, provide a truly historic opportunity to reverse much of the damage that has been done to the United States under the Obama regime.  The unimaginable destruction that Clinton-nominated Supreme Court Justices would have done to the Second Amendment has been averted. Predictably, the mainstream media is beside itself, and the attacks on people who voted for Trump continue. Whether all the leftist celebrities who promised to leave the country if Trump was elected will do so, it is still an uplifting idea.

Clinton ran on a platform of eliminating your right to keep and bear arms. She was soundly defeated.  That is indeed great news. But make no mistake, we are far from out of the woods.

Today, the anti-rights Brady Campaign sent their followers an email that said:

“Although we are incredibly disappointed that a candidate who ran his campaign on a message of hate, violence, intimidation, and fear will be the next President of the United States, that won’t stop us from fighting with everything we’ve got for the safer America we all want and deserve. “

Of course, no mention was made of the  violence orchestrated by Clinton’s surrogates or the rioting and flag burning that followed the election by Clinton supporters. The losers are violent and destructive and they are not going away any time soon.

Trump has a unique opportunity to do what he promised, to make America great again. Whether the Republican establishment will get on board, or do all they can to stand in his way remains to be seen, and exactly what a Trump presidency will look like is unknown. We do know that as a country we still face massive and deadly threats. But the certain destruction that would have resulted from 4 years of an egomaniacal, criminal, traitor as Commander In Chief has been avoided.

The news from Oregon is not as good.  While Hillary Clinton campaigned on a platform of attacking the Constitution and lost, Kate Brown campaigned on the same platform and won. She lost no time in declaring that one of her primary goals as Governor will be to further erode your rights.

The election of Dennis Richardson to Secretary of State was a positive sign in an otherwise unfortunate local election. Richardson is a smart, principled guy who is not going to use the office to promote an extremist agenda that we would have faced under his opponent. We believe that had Richardson been in office the signatures gathered to recall anti-gun zealot Floyd Prozanski would have been approved. Honesty and ethics in that office are essential.

Still, the Oregon Legislature remains solidly in the hands of anti-gun liberals and we can assure you that the bills to restrict your freedom have already been written.

There are a few races that are still too close to call with certainty, but it does not appear that we have picked up any House seats. A gain of two or three would have made a very big difference in our ability to hold back the worst of the coming bills. Some truly deserving candidates sadly failed to win. Still we thank them for fighting the good fight.

The defeat of Clinton is a giant victory for America but we have a lot of work to do in Oregon. If you want to help, please consider donating to our efforts here.

By now you have probably heard about the outrageous and inexcusable outburst by Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge Kenneth Walker.

While sentencing a killer for a shooting that took place in August, Walker went off the rails and declared:

“If I could I would take all the guns in America, put them on big barges and go dump them in the ocean. Nobody would have a gun. Not police, not security, not anybody. We should eliminate all of them.”

“They are a scourge of this country and no one should have one as far as I’m concerned,” he said. “There’s no defense to guns. There’s just absolutely no reason to have them.”

Bizarrely, he then went on to say  “But it is a right of people in this country to own and possess them, and I will not say anything to affect that right.” 

As if he hadn’t already done exactly that.

This kind of open animosity towards a fundamental right and a complete disregard for both the Oregon and US Constitutions, both of which Walker took an oath to uphold, clearly make him unfit for any judicial  role. This is especially disturbing in light of the treatment that law abiding gun owners receive in Multnomah County.

The Oregon Firearms Federation has filed an official complaint against Walker and requested that he be removed from the bench.

There is simply no way a  person who had used a firearm in self defense can expect any kind of fair hearing from Walker.

We suggest, as an Oregon resident, you consider filing your own complaint against this biased, agenda driven rogue judge.

An official complaint form with instructions for filing can be found here:

Again, the Judge’s name is Kenneth Walker.

The Court is the Multnomah County Circuit Court in Portland, Multnomah County.

The misconduct would fall under  “Conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice that brings the judicial office into disrepute” or “A violation of the Oregon Code of Judicial Conduct”

Under “Statement of Facts:”

The date, time and location would be on or about Sept 27th, (time unknown) Multnomah County Courthouse, Portland OR.

The Case Name would be State of Oregon vs Marcell Lee Daniel Jr (case number unavailable but not required)

The type of case is “Criminal.”

Your relation to the case would be “Other, Oregon Citizen”

Under “3”  “List documents that help support your information..” you may include a copy of this Oregonian article.

Under “4” “Identify, if you can, any other witnesses to the conduct of the Judge..” you can list the thousands of people who have seen the video available at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssjX0TTBP98&feature=youtu.be  . You can also list the reporter from the Oregonian who broke the story, Aimee Green. The Oregonian’s address is 1500 SW First Ave. Suite 500 Portland OR 97201.

Section 5 asks for “specific details of what the judge did that you think constitutes misconduct…”

This one is easy. The judge displayed an inexcusable bias against persons exercising their Constitutional rights and a dangerous desire to disarm law enforcement. (Although not likely his own security.) The judge clearly allows extreme personal opinions to influence his actions and does not have the temperament to serve on the bench.

Oregon gun owners are under siege from anti-rights politicians. We cannot allow those tasked with the impartial administration of justice to pervert the legal system in order to promote a dangerous and unconstitutional agenda.

07.15.16 

One day after a truck was used to murder over 80 people in France, Kate Brown and other liberal hacks held an anti-gun press conference that had more cops than reporters.

As always, surrounded by armed guards, Governor Brown called for a ban on standard capacity magazines, an end to the safeguard that allows Oregonians to transfer firearms when the Oregon State Police don’t do their jobs and an expansion of attacks on people who are accused of domestic violence but never actually charged or convicted of anything.

Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici lied and said it was legal to go to another state and buy a gun with no background check, and demanded that Congress disallow persons on the “no fly” list from buying guns. In a moment of irony no rights hater could ever grasp, Bonamici quoted Congressman John Lewis, who was of course, on the “no fly” list.

“Since I was sworn in as Governor 17 months ago, more than 600 Oregonians have died from violence inflicted by a gun,” Governor Brown said. But no one noted that the vast majority of deaths by gunfire are suicides.   That does not fit the politically correct narrative.

Brown also called on Congress to ban modern firearms.

“Every day in the United States, 22 people die from homicidal gun violence,” Governor Brown said. “I urge Congress to ban assault weapons and strengthen anti-terrorist legislation by passing the common sense ‘No Fly, No Buy’ ban.”

Members of the so called “faith community” announced their intention to ban modern firearms and magazines via ballot measure, called gun owners “the enemy” and said God was on their side.

In calling for the magazine ban Brown, amazingly, said:

“When a man intent on killing as many people as he could entered the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, he did so with extended capacity magazines. Those magazines allowed him to fire his weapon repeatedly without stopping to reload, without any pause that might have given his victims or law enforcement a chance to stop him.”

The sheer lunacy of her remarks is staggering. The Orlando killer was in the nightclub for three hours before police took action. Does Brown actually believe he was shooting for three hours without reloading? The reason so many people died was because they were not prepared and not allowed by law to defend themselves.

Brown also said :

“Additionally, I am directing Oregon State Police to proactively notify local law enforcement if a person prohibited by law from buying a gun tries to buy one.”

You mean they don’t do that now? The fact is, an OSP trooper is dispatched every time there is a gun transfer denial and when they find a prohibited person attempting a transfer, they do…nothing.

Of course, not a word was mentioned of the real cause of most mass shootings. Radical Islam.

2017 is going to be the rockiest year yet for gun rights. In spite of the real dangers facing Americans every day, Brown and her cohorts will be doing all they can to strip you of your rights. Please, please be active, make sure your family and friends are active, and VOTE.

07.01.16

Caving to the House Democrats tantrum-like sit-in on the House floor, Speaker Paul Ryan has capitulated to their demands and has promised a vote on an anti-gun bill next week.

While it is unclear exactly which bill he will be hearing, it’s likely to be one approved by the National Rifle Association.

The bill will most likely allow the government to forbid gun sales to persons on secret “terrorist watch lists.”

As usual, these lists will be poorly crafted, badly reviewed and constantly misused. As many Oregonians know, you can be denied a gun for no reason and then it becomes your problem to correct it. That’s what politicians are now calling “due process”; your “right” to spend vast sums of time and money proving your innocence although you have never been accused of a crime.

Clearly, people who are so dangerous they are not allowed to buy guns (legally of course, they can always get them illegally) should not be walking the streets. The fact is, nothing being promoted in response to the Orlando shooting would have had any effect on that terrorist attack, or any other mass shooting. The politicians know that, their goal is not to stop mass shootings or any other terrorist attack, their goal is to disarm you.

No gun control bill is a good gun control bill, but by allowing a vote, Ryan is opening the door for endless amendments that can make it far worse. NRA should be opposing any new restrictions on gun rights. We need to control terrorists, not tools.

Both Oregon Senators and 4 out 5 Oregon Congress members have called for more attacks on the Second Amendment.

One of them, Kurt Schrader, is regularly endorsed by the NRA. We have asked the NRA if they plan to endorse him again. They have not responded.

Please consider contacting NRA’s Federal lobbyist, Brandi Graham Pensoeau, and demand NRA end their support for gun grabbing Schrader. (202-651-2581 bgraham@nrahq.org)

Schrader has a rock solid pro-gun opponent and we should not have a national gun rights group supporting a vocally anti-gun candidate.

Our lone Republican member of Congress, Greg Walden, has made no statement we can find on how he will vote on more attacks on the Constitution.

If you live in Walden’s district, please contact him and ask what he is doing to block votes on more dangerous gun control bills.

At a time when we are in the most danger, it is insanity that our elected representatives are assisting in disarming us.

6.22.16

Although several gun control bills died in the Senate, the battle is far from over. Two Republican Senators are pushing legislation they hope will be seen as a “compromise” with gun grabbers.

As you might expect, what they are proposing would have absolutely no effect on the kind of mass shootings that have created the latest firestorm against gun rights.

In the wake of the Orlando massacre, Senator Ron Wyden took to the Senate floor to demand background checks at gun shows and for gun sales on Craig’s List.  Of course, this was typical Wyden buffoonery. Craig’s List has never allowed gun sales and the radical Muslim who murdered the patrons of the Orlando bar did not get his guns at a gun show.

But now, Maine Senator Susan Collins and New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte are proposing legislation that would block the sale of guns to people on two terrorist watch list subsets: the no-fly list, which prohibits individuals from boarding a plane, and the “selectee list,” which requires individuals to undergo additional screening before boarding.

Of course, the Muslim extremist who shot 100 people in Orlando was on no list in spite of being on law enforcement’s radar for a very long time. 

The proposed legislation would allow people to seek “due process” to have their names removed from the lists, if they had many, many thousands of dollars to pay the legal fees they would incur in this very lengthy process. 

At one time in America you were innocent until proven guilty. Now we are much like the rest of the world. If you want to exercise a right, you have to prove you are innocent.

“If you’re too dangerous to board a commercial plane, it stands to reason that you shouldn’t be able to buy a gun,” Senator Ayotte said on the Senate floor Monday. “It’s simple as that and people on both sides of the aisle I think agree on that in principle.”

Of course, that reasoning is simple, and simply absurd. If you are too dangerous to board a plane or buy a gun, you are too dangerous to build a bomb, drive a car onto the sidewalk or walk around without a jailer. 

Today we saw again the pointlessness of all of these politically motivated regulations. The Oregon State Police posted the results of last month’s background checks for gun purchases. 198 people were denied gun buys. 152 of them were identified as felons by OSP.  The total number of arrests for these desperados?  Exactly zero.  (The State Police do not provide info on the total number of the far more numerous delays.)

Every day in Oregon, and across the country, countless qualified people are denied gun purchases because of lousy government databases, yet Islamic murderers face no obstacles buying guns, and the theater continues.

Now, as so many times in the past, the NRA is aiding and abetting the gun grabbers by publicly stating that the victims of the Orlando massacre should not have been armed.

On CBS’s “Face The Nation” Wayne LaPierre said “I don’t think you should have firearms where people are drinking,”

On ABC’s “This Week” NRA’s Chris Cox said “No one thinks that people should go into a nightclub drinking and carrying firearms,” he said. “That defies common sense. It also defies the law.”

LaPierre then released a very weak Twitter comment saying carrying in restaurants is “ok.” Chris Cox’s comment about it “defying the law” is flat out wrong in many places, including Oregon.

It is perfectly legal to be in a bar in Oregon with a firearm and legal to drink with a firearm. Yet, we have never seen the kind of wholesale slaughter that we saw in Orlando where having a gun in a bar is illegal.

Oregon Democrats have tried in the past to create more criminal safe zones by banning firearms in places that sell alcohol. (We see what that accomplished in Florida.)

When they do, you can rest assured they will be quoting LaPierre and Cox just as they did when we were defending a Medford teacher with a CHL, and LaPierre was giving speeches saying NO civilian should be allowed in a school with a firearm.

We are being attacked from a well funded enemy that will tell any lie to advance their agenda. The last thing we need is NRA giving them ammo.

06.10.16

To call yesterday’s 9th Circuit Appeals Court ruling “tortured” would be to elevate it well above any status it deserves.

The ruling in Edward Peruta v. County of San Diego concluded that there is no Constitutional right for a member of the public to carry a firearm concealed outside their home. The Court did not address the constitutionality of carrying firearms outside the home openly, but in California where this case originated, open carry is outlawed as well, so this decision could well eliminate the rights of Californians to “bear arms” outside their homes at all.

Imagine this reasoning extended to other rights articulated in the Bill of Rights.

Amendment 1

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances as long as they do not leave their homes.

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized provided the people do not leave their homes.

Amendment V

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation provided that the person in question remain in his home at all times.

Of course it sounds absurd. But it perfectly follows the judicial “reasoning” in this case. And in fact, while the militant left (who no doubt are cheering this decision) would argue that suggesting that we are heading down that path is an indication of paranoia, it is already happening.

The notion that one gives up a fundamental right when one steps through his front door is so non-sensical as to be the stuff of parody and farce, but it is actually not a surprise coming from the most liberal and overturned court in the nation.

How will this affect the states unlucky enough to be within the Circuit?  Time will tell. Three of those states; Idaho, Alaska, and Arizona already recognize a person’s right to carry a concealed firearm with no requirement to ask permission from the state. Montana allows persons to carry concealed firearms with no state issued permission, if they are outside cities or towns.

But Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, like California, already do not recognize a person’s right to carry a firearm concealed without requesting permission from the state. Unlike California however, none of those states allow the issuing authority to arbitrarily decide if your life is worthy of protection. If you meet the qualifications, you get a license to exercise your “right.”

That’s what this case was actually about. Whether a state agency or actor has the authority to determine who is worthy of self defense. The 9th Circuit agreed with the state and said that the value of your life could be determined by a government bureaucrat who could simply decide that person A’s life was worth protecting and person B’s was not.

This is a particularly troubling conclusion in light of recent events where police in California stood by and watched innocent people attacked by mobs of thugs.

The 9th referred repeatedly to the Heller Decision, a Supreme Court case that gun owners often mistakenly perceive as “pro-gun,” to justify the ruling, and it’s safe to say that sooner or later this issue will reach the Supreme Court as well.* That could be an extremely dangerous outcome especially if more conservative justices suddenly die under mysterious circumstances, or if another Clinton is elected to the White House.

What this ruling means for Oregonians is that the far left, anti-gun axis that controls our legislature and the executive branch, will feel emboldened to continue its assault on license holders. While there is nothing new about this (Prozanski and Burdick have been trying, unsuccessfully, for years to attack license holders) what it all but guarantees is a tidal wave of new proposed restrictions on all gun owners. That’s why every possible effort must be made to make gains in the legislature and our county commissions. It’s why this presidential election could quite easily determine whether you will have any gun rights at all in the near future. It’s why your vote and your willingness to help get out the vote is so crucial. For the first time we have a candidate who has built almost her entire campaign around destroying what is left of the Second Amendment, and while almost all candidates are question marks, Clinton is a drop-dead sure thing who simply must be stopped.

On a Federal level, all we can do is urge you in the strongest possible way to vote and make your vote count. On a state wide level we hope you will continue to support our efforts to protect our rights from attacks from the left. We did it this year, stopping all anti-gun legislation. We are going to need your help more than ever during the coming elections and beyond.
