Voter-approved Oregon gun control law violates the state constitution, judge rules
An Oregon judge has ruled that a voter-approved gun control law violates the state constitution. The decision on Tuesday continues to block it from taking effect and casts fresh doubt over the future of the embattled measure.
A voter-approved Oregon gun control law violates the state constitution, a judge ruled Tuesday, continuing to block it from taking effect and casting fresh doubt over the future of the embattled measure.
The law requires people to undergo a criminal background check and complete a gun safety training course in order to obtain a permit to buy a firearm. It also bans high-capacity magazines.
The plaintiffs in the federal case, which include the Oregon Firearms Federation, have appealed the ruling to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The case could potentially go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
You're viewing a single thread.
C'mon, this is easy... all you need is a large gathering of BLM people or antifa packing ARs and boom - this law will mysteriously pass before the media frenzy has had a chance to get it's shoes on.
I've been saying this for a decade. Let's get the sikhs out open carrying AKs.
your projection is telling
Can you clarify your point if you were making one?
I don't get it either. WTF?
LMAO - You must have $5,000 down votes across postings now. You come across as an angry incel living in your mother's basement, listening to right-wing radio all day. I see you haven't posted in a week, perhaps you are gone, which would be better for everyone.
Nah, the result of that would be the national guard getting called and an oppressive use of force to put everyone back in their places. The media would either briefly display it in the news ticker mentioning that our national heros quelled a local terrorist attack or just say nothing about it.
the result of that would be the national guard
Do you know why they never called the national guard on the Black Panthers? Or why the pig never dared to confront them directly?
This is nothing more then a marketing campaign by the gun lobby to sell bullshit hero fantasies to left wing people too.
"The pig" killed 34 members of the Black Panther Party, including outright assassinations.
When the full details of the FBI involvment was revealed, the director of the agency issued a public apology for "wrongful use of power" and exactly 0 members of the pro-gun community used their guns to overthrow a government running projects like COINTELPRO.
The BPP being armed didn't just fail to deliver on everything you're promising, it provided all the justification the state needed to abuse and murder them -- an excuse police still use to this day.
marketing campaign by the gun lobby to sell bullshit
The left doesn't need "marketing" to appreciate the value of modern-day weaponry - all we need for that is a proper understanding of the right and their liberal allies.
"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary" - the big kahuna himself, Karl Marx.
I'm no Marxist myself, but damn - when the guy was right he was really right.
“The pig”
It's pig. Not "pig".
including outright assassinations.
I wonder why they couldn't just lynch Fred Hampton on the sidewalk like they did with George Floyd - it's a complete mystery to me.
it provided all the justification the state needed to abuse and murder them
Riiiight... because the fascists have always required an excuse to perpetrate mass-murder on people they consider "other," correct?
Lmao you'd lose any war you fought.
The idea that you can own a gun and be safe from state violence has never once paid off for anyone who buys into it.
be safe from state violence
Appeasing the status quo is only an option for the privileged, Clyde.
Do tell... will the pigs be siccing their Klan and neo-nazi proxies onto you first thing or won't they?
How many police and Nazis have you shot? Would you like to compare it to how many people neo-nazis and racist police have shot?
racist police
There is any other kind of police?
Yes, the ones that come after major reforms to training and accountability, that you haven't shot your way to, despite insisting that it's not just possible, but ideal.
What a weird comment
The left doesn't need "marketing" to appreciate the value of modern-day weaponry - all we need for that is a proper understanding of the right and their liberal allies.
The gun laws you're advocating armed this shithead and thousands of others like him.
He deliberately targeted minorities and legal gun owners did nothing to prevent it and will do nothing to prevent it happening again, because the only solutions they support are the ones that just happen to be most profitable to the gun lobby.
I wonder why they couldn't just lynch Fred Hampton on the sidewalk like they did with George Floyd - it's a complete mystery to me.
Your guns saved neither of those people but sure, tell us how George Floyd would have gone done in your little gun utopia.
Should George have shot the cops? He'd still be dead, only now the people who wanted to kill him would be walking free.
Should a passerby have shot the cops? They'd be dead instead of (or as well as) George and once again, the cops would be walking free, probably with an even bigger budget.
Your bullshit "lets just shoot our problems" doesn't help anybody except the far-right and the gun lobby.
You've done fuck all to create actual reforms, you just advocate other people sacrifice their lives.
Riiiight... because the fascists have always required an excuse to perpetrate mass-murder on people they consider "other," correct?
If you're so convinced you have the solution to systemic violence and oppression, go out and shoot the county better. We're all waiting for you to make all this violence worth it, like you promise you will and have been promising you will for 20 years.
Until then, you're only aiding scumbags and can stick your guns down your piss hole.
The gun laws you’re advocating armed this shithead and thousands of others like him.
No, Clyde... a fundamentally white supremacist state brainwashed him and millions of others like him - and your only solution to all this is to disarm the people most likely to be targeted by these fascists?
I guess it's true what they say... the only thing fascism really needs to flourish is a bunch of liberals to furrow the ground for them.
your only solution to all this is to disarm the people most likely to be targeted by these fascists?
Do you have a head injury? My solution is to not arm the white supremacists, even if it inconveniences gun owners.
Meanwhile, your solution is to enthusiastically arm white supremacists over and over again and when they gun down as many, blame the victims for not carrying a gun with them at all times.
How is anyone supposed to believe you're not a white supremacist or simp to the gun lobby?
I guess it's true what they say... the only thing fascism really needs to flourish is a bunch of liberals to furrow the ground for them.
They seem to be flourishing well enough with their AR-15s and your no-strings-attached support.
If you have the solution, why isn't it solved? Go out and shoot somebody and fix it.
My solution is to not arm the white supremacists,
Feel free to explain how you will be disarming white supremacism's most enduring institution - ie, the police.
Meanwhile, your solution is to enthusiastically arm white supremacists over and over again
They are already armed - to the teeth. They are literally armed with your tax dollars.
Then why aren't you shooting them? Why isn't this solved if you have the solution to this problem that's life or death for so many people?
Is it because your solution doesn't work? Is it because you want other people to do the dying and life imprisonment? Or is it because you only want to point to the problem to drum up gun sales?
There's no possible out from here that makes you a good person, let alone a hero.
Then why aren’t you shooting them?
This isn't an 80s action movie, Clyde - come live in the real world for a while, won't you?
So you basically admit that you have no way of dealing with the most dangerous, most unaccountable, and most thoroughly funded white supremacist institution to ever exist - who, I should mention, have easy access to millions of firearms that they happily distribute to their fascist proxies no matter what your precious laws say.
that makes you a good person
Your toxic liberal feel-good morality means squat to me.
Except even during the most destructive and violent of BLM riots had armed participants, the pro civil rights people continued to stand by gun rights. You've been proven wrong and too ignorant to realize it, or too dishonest to admit it.
destructive and violent of BLM riots
Oh, it was BLM doing the violence? It wasn't the pigs and their neo-nazi proxies?
pro civil rights people
Oh, it's the white supremacists that are "pro-civil rights", is it?
I think you've just unmasked yourself, fashboi.
Yes, BLM caused violence and destruction for years during the fascist economic shutdown. Educate yourself
Found a fascist!
You're mistaken, I'm the anti fascist
You're about as "antifascist" as Joseph Goebbels was.
To you people a fart is fascist. It's like your new favorite toy
...says the pretend-"antifascist."
Yes. What I'm doing here is facing off against fascism
Oh look, everybody... a fascist is pretending to be "against fascism."
How cute!
