Yesterday the sponsors of IP 17 turned in signatures for an overtly racist ballot measure. On the same day, a newly appointed Yamhill County Judge invalidated a local ordinance protecting gun owners.
Out-of-state, paid signature gatherers were reportedly telling signers that the ballot measure was about “background checks.”
IP 17 will ban modern firearm’s magazines, outlaw most modern shotguns, and create a “permitting” system designed to prevent low income minorities from purchasing firearms.
With crime skyrocketing in Portland and the poorest residents most at risk, “Lift Every Voice Oregon” is pushing a permit system that will require anyone trying to purchase a firearm for home defense to take a live fire class from local police.
Ironically, the same people who are pushing this measure are working overtime to defund and abolish police.
In addition to the added background checks and fingerprinting, IP 17 requires a class, which can only be taught by instructors “certified by law enforcement.” The class requires instruction on state and Federal law, the impacts of “suicide on the country as a whole,” and live fire.
It also requires instruction on storage, transfer, and purchase of firearms.
The measure does NOT require any police agency or “authorized” instructor to actually provide classes and it does not define or explain who would be qualified to teach the class or how a person becomes qualified to instruct on state and Federal law and suicide. The measure does not indicate where, when, or how often classes would be available, if at all.

Completely illogical.
I assume this is pushed by Democrats. It makes sense as the Democrats have always tried to disarm blacks. An armed black is a lot harder to lynch, so they must be disarmed.
Yes, pushed by Dems. Obviously unconstitutional based on very recent Supreme Court decisions. But this is their favorite game: Lawfare. How many millions will we have to keep raising to fight them thru the courts again.
Oregon courts are more liberal than the 9th circus which is where this will end up if it passes.
It will be a long hard slog to SCOTUS.
The Democrat Communists feel emboldened by their stranglehold on Oregon
Can’t hvae people defending themselves.
Pretty close to what we have in IL. But that database of lersonal information being made public is an insane violation of privacy and is flatly unconstitutional.
Won’t stop them, though...
