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A plan that would have made Silver Falls Park off limits to gun owners has been withdrawn by its sponsor.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.
