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.
Find out just how the new law works and the devious manner in which is being portrayed to the public. The story unfolds on the next page.
John Childs…..what the heck is going on up there?
Bet it won’t, our governor kate brown is a lunatic bleed heart liberal crazy person
If the governor is against this he got to take it to a federal court and then on to a Supreme Court. I think an individual can take it to court
I would think that should be a violation of peoples rights. Sounds like current California.
Hope someone breaks into your home with you and your family there, then what will you do? Oh yeah, nothing because you have no way to protect your family moron.
The politicians need to go take these guns from the people, don’t send the police.
Due process of law is well defined and understood. This law is unconstitutional on 8ts face and won’t stand a Supreme Court ruling. ..if it gets to the Supreme court.
The governor won’t have a choice if someone sues based on this Unconstitutional law and it gets thrown out by the Supreme Court.
Don’t try this in Florida! We are Deplorables not despicables!
Oregon, say no more. They are about as stupid as CA
