Oregon – -(AmmoLand.com)- This past week the six Senate Republicans who aided passage of SB 554 yesterday, went all the way and helped Democrats pass the bill on the floor.
Republican Senator Bill Hansell, one of the “gang of six,” read the headline from our previous alert on the floor, and claimed that Senator Courtney was talking about a “sports team” when he said on a hot mic “they’re gonna get crushed.” He called OFF “despicable” and was joined in that assessment by Senator Floyd Prozanski. For the record, here is exactly what the headline said:
“I see Hansell out here, they’re gonna get crushed.”
Senate President Peter Courtney in an unintentional “hot mic” moment at the start of today’s Senate Floor session.
We don’t know to whom he was referring. But it sure wasn’t Democrats.
That was the 100% true and accurate headline that Hansell claimed was false and despicable.
As you know the Oregon public has been locked out of the building and has no input into these floor sessions.
The only access the people have to these proceedings is a video feed that was shut off at a critical time in the process.
The legislative reporting system actually reported that the bill had passed hours before the vote was held and showed it being “carried” by a Senator who not only opposed the bill, but was not even on the floor for the vote. The House already showed the bill being scheduled before the bill had even been voted for on the Senate floor!
The Republicans then remained on the floor to ensure the Democrats had the quorum they needed to ram through this dangerous and bigoted bill on the law-abiding CHL holders of Oregon.
The bill now goes to the House Floor where the Democrats also have a supermajority. At this point, the House Republicans, having agreed to a rule that fines them if they walk off the floor, are unlikely to make any effort to stop the bill.
There are numerous other anti-gun bills moving through the legislature.
These six Republican Senators have now all but guaranteed that CHL holders who go too close to a public building will face 5 years in prison.

The Republican party is really going to sh!t.
Oregon Republicans are loosing their spines which is going to result in more of us registering as Civil Libertarians. There was a time years ago when the Dummycrats where the Civil Libertarians. My how things change. Way past time for a State Electoral College but not going to happen. More and more people are starting to leave California North just like California South. Wish I could do likewise and if I was younger I probably would. Hope like hell Texas is vetting all the Libtards moving there from California South, if not, Texas will be destroyed just like Oregon.
I sent a message to our Congress person, DeFazio and asked if he would be going to jail for 5 years as he has a CHP. I would think he carries on public property all the time. I asked if he would be exempt. No answer. I sent messages to all the rep. traitors thanking them for selling us out. The only answer I received was from Girod. His reply was that I was sending the message to the wrong person as he voted not only no, but hell no. He didn’t seem to have a clue that what was… Read more »
Oregon has gone down the sh*t hole so it’s no surprise!
An old adage comes to mind when I think of these, and other traitors, within the gov. “They are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason!”
If we allow them, Democrats with the aid of Cowardly Rinos will dismember the Constitution!
Not enforceable and very unconstitutional. What an absolute waste of taxpayer money.
Q: How can you know if a politician is lying?
A: His mouth is moving.
It’s one thing to say some Republicans are liars. But this is Oregon we’re talking about. I can only imagine their version of a conservative is a disgruntled Independent at best.
