Gun control advocates have found a backdoor way to advance their cause without having an honest debate on the issue.
An Oregon lawmaker has shepherded a bill through the House and Senate that mirrors similar measures in other states by trying to wrap it in the guise of protecting individuals from what they consider “extreme risk.”
Already approved by the Senate, it passed the House by a 31-28 vote and now goes to Governor Kate Brown for signature.
Gun rights advocates see the Oregon measure as just another subterfuge to get around the Second Amendment right to carry arms. The Oregon bill was patterned after a California law that was enacted in 2014.
The bill’s co-sponsor, Republican Senator Brian Boquist of Dallas, Oregon, denies the law is designed to confiscate weapons. But the design of the legislation clearly circumvents an individual’s right to due process before having to turn over the firearm.

Come to my ddoor were haveing a fire fight
It’s not legal. Even States must abide by the Constitution.
I could this piece of unconstitutional$#%&!@*go way up to the SCOTUS!!!
I think that the people in Oregon need to have a serious debate with the people who were representing them about the resignations that should be forthcoming.
Must admit the language of the bill is poor, due process is lacking, legal recourse after the fact is missing as well. Very poorly designed bill. Please veto.
Not an Oregon citizen thankfully but I am a concerned US citizen.
The very time to assert that 2nd A recognized right
Need to get this in court.
Just gave isis a target unarmed state how dumb
This will go to the supreme Court. Can’t violate 2 nd amendment rights just because you THINK someone will commit a crime.
Unconstitutional.
