Even if these people were able to get enough signatures for their dream bill to take guns away from law-abiding US citizens, it will never make it past constitutional review in the courts.

A bunch of Christian zealots trying to impose their morality on others, isn’t that cute? And the same leftists who smugly proclaim G-D is dead and Jesus is an imaginary friend who’s father is a non existent invisible sky daddy support this. This church seems just as whacked as the Westboro Baptist church.

“SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!”

What part of that phrase is confusing these asswipes?

I suggest that we detach WA, OR, and CA and let them drift west to run into HI.

signed,
ENOUGH

Well I’m glad they believe in God cause they’re going to need him.

I hope this particular church group believes in G-d.

Seriously?! Is Oregon except from the 2nd Amendment? Will this fly across the state or will the tyranny of the idiots in Portland overwhelm the rest of the state?

Jesus said that “you are mine if you obey my words”, He also said “ take your cloak and sell it and buy a sword”.

Peter responded to the latter and said “we have two”, the Lord curtly stated “that is enough!”.

I believe all of His words are the infallible truth. So I have sold my coat and have a sword (or two). Wonder why the Lord directed ( not asked) his disciples to carry self-defense weapons on their daily journeys?

I remember they had a hunting regulation back the early 80’s that only allowed 5 rounds in your rifle for deer/elk. My dad had an M1-Garand, which was legal in Washington, but he drew an Oregon out of state tag, so he had to borrow my brothers 7mm.

"SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED"

[savedbygrace]

Most articles are giding the names of the leaders of this group. From www.foxnews.com/us/2018/03/15/interfaith-leaders-youths-to-push-for-assault-rifle-ban.html:

“Young people in this country are crying out. This is the moment in time where we need to step alongside them as adults and do our part with them,” said Pastor Mark Knutson of the Augustana Lutheran Church in Portland.

While a person must be at least 18 to vote, even a 14-year-old can go out and seek signatures, Knutson told The Associated Press over the phone.

“This is going to be a youth campaign,” said Knutson, who will be one of the three chief petitioners of the ballot measure.

Rev. Alcena Boozer, a former high school principal and pastor emeritus of St. Philip the Deacon Episcopal Church; and Rabbi Michael Cahana, of Congregation Beth Israel, are the other two chief petitioners. The treasurer is Imam Muhammad Najieb, director of the Muslim Community Center of Portland and a Marine veteran.

To wit:

They declare intent to threaten violence upon peaceful innocents for possessing an object owned for the purpose of stopping those who threaten violence.

[Lazamataz]

I would be alive only one month after such legislation passed, and a lot of the authors and sponsors would join me.
