Oregon Judge to Convicted Murderer: 'If I Could, I Would Take All the Guns in America'(WTH?)

A Multnomah County, Oregon, judge had some pretty pointed things to say about who he thought was responsible for a murder, with the murderer standing before him awaiting sentencing. This being Oregon, you've probably guessed that the judge wasn't lecturing the murderer himself. That's right, he blamed the guns for the murder.

I'll give you a moment to pick yourself up off the floor.

Judge Kenneth Walker doesn't want you to think he's anti-gun, though. He's clearly read the United States Constitution. After all, when he finally finished his rant, he said, "But it is a right of people in this country to own and possess them, and I will not say anything to affect that right."

And bathtubs, pools, hammers, knives and screwdrivers.

And doctors. Especially doctors. Way more iatrogenic deaths by doctors each year than by guns.

How do these nitwits become judges? I guess they were failures as lawyers...that’s hard to do.

Some so-called judge indicates why Oregon has the reputation it enjoys.

“But it is a right of people in this country to own and possess them, and I will not say anything to affect that right.”


This guy COULD NOT say anything to affect that right - not even 9 Justices of the Supreme Court, acting in concert, can do that. First, because a natural right is NOT subject to the whims of man, and second because there are 400 million guns in this country...have fun TRYING to take them.

Oregon is a beautiful state, ruined by ugly people. Ugly to the core. If I ever go there again..., well, actually I will never go there again.
