Pretty much every cops sidearm....

“I seriously doubt voters “really” voted for it”

Why do you doubt that Portland and south to Eugene voters voted for it?

[logi_cal869]

Deep in enemy territory, angry beyond words.

Meanwhile, 15 Oregon counties have voted to succeed and become part of Greater Idaho. Granted, both state legislatures and congress need to to approve it, but Oregon remains the best candidate for such a change.

I’m sure plenty of commie voters voted for it. You live in OR, iirc, or is it WA? Also no way voters voted for another commie lesbian for Governor. The Republican candidate (Kotek? Can’t remember her name) was way ahead int her polls. Even many Dems were sick of the previous BOD.

“It’s Oregon..they get what they voted for like every west Coast state.”

You need to further delineate the “west” reference to the western parts of the west coast states (especially in Oregon and Washington). Where I live in eastern WA, only about 35% voted for a similar gun control measure.

Yep similar to new york state where blue downstate overrides the last of us red upstaters. most have voted with their feet.

The eastern side of Oregon is conservative but the populated areas is where the POS scum libtards dominate the population.

Kind of like being a conservative white heterosexual male at Harvard.. you’re F’d.

[smokingfrog]

I beg to differ.

What a out semi auto Ramset con rete nailer?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Yep. The standard issue for police now is the Glock 45. I comes standard with a17 round mag. An officer came in wanting a backup for his newly issued Glock 45 and I sold him a Glock 26 with a 15 round magazine and magazine sleeve. He had been previously issued a Glock 22 in .40 S&W and his backup was a Glock 27 of the same caliber.

I wonder if the stats cited by the judge re: shots fired in self-defense include police shootings. Their weapons are solely for self defense. Shouldn’t we the people have the same tools available?

[gundog]

Kotek is a D, and now Governor. Drazen was the R.

[gundog]

If only a few more Republicans had bothered to vote it wouldn’t have passed, the lazy sods!

I can think of a couple of lazy, apolitical types that own guns. I’ll just laugh if they learn of this while trying to buy a new gun.

"are not commonly used for self-defense, and are therefore not protected by the Second Amendment..."

HUH?

I fail to find ANYTHING about SELF defense in the 2^nd!

KOA goes broke in Portland as many folks decide to camp elsewhere...

It must be the coastal mountains...

[gundog]

My coastal OR county voted against it 2:1.

[maddog55]

The west coast like much of the east coast.. inundated with liberal scum. If you’re a a conservative and live there then you’re well outnumbered. Your choices are simple, deal with it or move.
