Oregon initiative would outlaw assault weapons, unless guns are registered with police

[PROCON]

SALEM, Ore. – A recently filed Oregon initiative would make manufacturing, importing, possessing, purchasing or selling an assault weapon or large capacity magazine a crime – with only a few exceptions.

If passed, Oregon Initiative 42 would only allow owners to keep their assault weapons and large capacity magazines if they register them with Oregon State Police.

If the initiative goes into effect, anyone who owns an assault weapon or large capacity magazine will be required to remove them from the state, sell the items, surrender the items to a law enforcement agency for destruction, render the assault weapon permanently inoperable or, if eligible, register the assault weapon or large capacity magazine with Oregon State Police within 120 days.

Anyone who moves into Oregon with an assault weapon would have 120 days to surrender it to law enforcement, transfer it to a licensed firearm dealer, render it permanently inoperable or register it.

Unlawful possession or transfer of an assault weapon or large capacity magazine would be a Class B felony.

In order to register an assault weapon under the act, the owner would need to submit a form to the Oregon State Police with the owner’s name and address and identification number of the assault weapon. The owner must also allow police to conduct a criminal background check to confirm the person is not a prohibited possessor.

The text below is not mine. I saw it years ago on FR, and saved it.

If a bureaucrat tells you that he must know if you have a firearm so he can put your name on a list for the common good, or wants to issue you an identity card so that you be more easily identified -- tell him to go to hell. Registration of people and firearms is the required precursor to the tyranny which permits genocide. Bureaucrats cannot send soldiers to doors that are not on their list.

See my tagline.

“No place South or East of Eugene will comply.”

That’s a good way to summarize the political demographics geographically. But, you know, even the citizens in very liberal areas don’t seem to comply with the gun grabber laws, if you look at other states. And I know from personal experience that most LE aren’t at all enthusiastic about enforcement.

That is part of their devious plan. Relentlessly wear people down.
Make mere ownership of a once-legal piece of hardware, even in your own home, a FELONY and it will inspire many to simply sell or turn-in their rifles.

"Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against, then you'll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures.

We are after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you'd better get wise to it.

There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.

Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there it that for anyone?

But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted,and you create a nation of lawbreakers, and then you cash in.

Now that's the system, Mr. Rearden, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."

Exactly right, FRiend. Thanks for posting that excerpt from the book.

[LegendHasIt]

I post it often enough to be annoying; whenever someone reminds me of it.

It has become so sadly apropos in the last 20+ years, and especially the last 10.

[Paal Gulli]

All weapons are made for assaulting.

[SuperLuminal]

First of all, I’m willing to bet there hasn’t been an assault weapon made or sold by any company in WA in decades...

[GreyHoundSailor]

I absolutely will not comply with any restriction, be it federal or state. I fully intend to buy/sell any item of personal property I want to, including firearms. Any LE officer who sides with an illegal law is a domestic enemy.

[Bob434]

will the NRA file a lawsuit? They apparently ttried and failed in NY to stop similar violation of our rights-

[Cobra64]

These assholes don’t even know what an “assault weapon” is. Furthermore, AR stands for Armalite Rifle, not assault rifle.

OREGON FIRST GUN FREE STATE, this will look nice as a license plate. Let the hunting begin

[Sir_Ed]

The CLEO permission was changed, now you must simply inform them.

[SirFishalot]

The NRA really botched things up here in NY when they took the SAFE act to court. There were already a few cases going in NYS courts to toss it on procedural grounds. The NRA jumped the gun and took it to Fed court and the judge they got is notorious for splitting decisions down the center of both party’s argument, which he did. When they did that, they wiped out all of the challenges in State Court, so now the law is pretty much written in stone and we are stuck with it. This Oregon law is almost word for word the NY SAFE act, which a Federal has approved thanks to the NRA.

In most all “blue” states, one or two large metro areas turns the state “blue”. With this attack on the 2nd Amendment and with the braindead Lefties in California demanding “Calexit”... maybe it’s time for the “red” counties to secede from California, Oregon and Washington. The idea of the “State of Jefferson” has been around for a 100 years... time to “pull the trigger” (pun intended) and do “LoonyLeftexit” from the insanity and tyranny imposed upon them by the Lib run areas!
