At least 46 Oregonians have been ordered to surrender their guns under a new type of court order intended to stop suicides and mass shootings, law enforcement and court officials testified to state lawmakers Wednesday.
Ten of the cases affect people in Multnomah County, where authorities have seized more than 50 guns from people found to pose a danger to themselves or others, Mike Reese, the county sheriff, told a joint meeting of the Senate and House judiciary committees.

I am not a threat to anyone who is not a threat to me or to my family. However, I would NEVER forgive any “friend” or relative who reported me under one of these laws. I would pretend to be civil until I got my private property back, and then our relationship would be over permanently.

I officially announce our annual Freeper fishing tournament.
Please go fishing this weekend and report back on how big of fish you caught.
Don’t forget to bring ALL your guns and ammo because some fish are pretty big.
I would really like to but the last time we all went fishing a tragic accident happened when our boat was swamped and we lost all our guns along with the ammunition. Fortunately we saved the beer and wine.
Imagine if someone set up a beehive so when the men in black kick in the front door they knocked it over.
How do you protect yourself against 40,000 really pissed off bees?
You don’t! I betcha they’d all flee the area in a hurry.
Hope I get it all onto YouTube, I’ll be famous in jail.
Yes. I skipped a step. Most certainly that should come first.
