Oregon – -(AmmoLand.com)- A ballot measure to ban modern firearms and feeding devices [read normal gun magazines], and make thousands of Oregon residents criminals, has been filed with the Oregon Secretary of State.
The measure is a re-introduction of IP 43 from 2018 which we were able to defeat by preventing it from getting on the ballot.
This new assault on self defense, property, and common sense is currently IP 16. You can get details here.
As you may know, the Democrats in the Oregon legislature have numerous bills to essentially achieve the same end. The most extreme is SB 501, but there are others that are just as dangerous. Governor Brown’s HB 2251 defines “assault weapons” as any long gun you can hold with two hands. There are several bills that would require that your guns be locked up and useless. Except, of course, to a thief who could easily defeat the cable locks required. Those locks can get you killed but do nothing to stop a theft.
These “lock up” bills would even hold you responsible for a gun you did lock up if a thief was able to obtain a “device” to open the lock. Around here, we call that a “wire cutter.”
We will, of course, be doing all we can to torpedo the latest right’s smashing ballot measure. But for now, please take moment to let the legislature know you will not stand for more attacks from Salem.
You can see all firearms related bills here.
You can use this link to send a message to every member of the Oregon Legislature. You can add to the pre written message if you chose but it is not required,
It’s a full frontal assault. Please take action.

These clowns must be wondering why people are buying firearms in these anti-gun control legislation states, have to wonder if they’ll figure it out? Stats have the increase of gun purchases to be up 52% in Oregon, some states are even higher. Wait’ll legislation criminalizing private gun sales takes root, the private market sales have probably gone out of the roof already.
I observed people lined up at the gun counter in the sporting goods store looking at guns and a few filling out paperwork to purchase. I also noticed the ammo on the shelves were thinning out too.

Senate Bill 501 limits magazine capacity to 5 rounds.
So you you have a revolver with 6 cylinders or more, you best get them plugged.
If you need any help from us here in Kansas let me know.

I’ve always obeyed our laws, broken only a few rules, and will not hesitate to protect the innocent. .

The biggest problem with the 2nda, Which supposedly was written for the protection of the people and their Nature given right to life and the Natural instinctive preservation of it as with all living things, In Nature there are No things written, All is understood, learned and adheared to or you die. Distrust and verify. The 2nda was and is a decption written by the untrust worthy government, Why write something that is known and understood and instinctive in nature, Like taking a pee ? Of course you will pee And protect your self. The deception IS, They took what… Read more »
This is exactly why people are stockpiling weapons and ammo. According to some legislators modern is anything post America’s Revolutionary War.

This must stop
Amen brother, and pass the ammunition!
Dear Author,
You forgot to include the quote from Trump condemning this attempted destruction of the Second Amnedment in Oregon. Oh wait, he never made any such statement. Just like he NEVER made any statement condemning the destruction of the Second Amendemnt over the past 2 years in: CA, NY (isn’t he a resident there???), NJ, MA, WA, FL (he liked that gun control), VT or the attempts to destroy our rights in IL, NM, NV, DE, VA, etc. I know he’s too busy to even tweet about it. MAGA?
Why not use your pent-up anger and do something constructive instead of bitch at he president? Would you prefer if Hillary were president? Anyone can gripe but it accomplishes nothing. There’s a link above to use to contact your legislators, try that for starts.
Conversing with any member of the government is from the position of an enslaved prisioner.
One does Not converse with the enemy, There are mechanical devices for dealing with them.
Maybe it’s time to take up arms and fight
Please study The Art of War by Sun Tzu , You must find their weak points that will hurt them the most
whilist not hurting yourself. Remembering you may be on your own on enemy turf and your own kind
will rat you out. Plus there is no way to hide or not be tracked.
I hear there are snipers who can shatter a pumpkin from almost a mile away, when the wind is right. Silently !
Once again, it must be said plainly; DO NOT COMPLY, DO NOT SURRENDER, AND RESIST!
For our Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers/Lawmen, Remember your OATH and REFUSE TO ENFORCE TYRANNY.
Amen brother, and pass the ammunition!
IF they comply with the Oaths, They will be declared an enemy of the government, and they all have family.
Plus neither side trusts the other.
However, the are rumors that certain leo’s have taken the position of, I ain’t looking for it and I did not see it
so it did not happen.. Lotta people slip at the rivers edge and have been know to steal more than they can swim with.
You are obliged to dispose of the trash you create. Just good house keeping manners..
f ore-gone
I moved from Oregon in 2005 , couldn’t stand the left wing, tree hugging , dirt worshipers politics anymore, they are a bunch of loons, and will turn Oregon into a place worse than California. ..if it isn’t already! This is B.S. and the work of the snowflake Hippies that moved there in the 60’s and 70’s ,still trying to create a utopian socialist society ! Their solution was legalize marijauna, assisted suicide, and now let’s get all the guns !
