The news ahead is so dire, we had to cram it into a single article.
#1. Statewide gun sales stop.
The newly passed Measure 114 requires a new complicated process to obtain a firearm that goes way beyond the two different processes of current backgroudn checks and Concealed License Permits. The Democrat Herald’s Hasso Herring explains,
“Unless a court intervenes before Measure 114 takes effect on Dec. 8, it looks like after that date private citizens will no longer be allowed to buy a firearm in Oregon for a good long while. But the promoters of the initiative didn’t mention that.The measure was sold as a “common sense” safety law. It requires a police permit before you can buy a firearm, and to get a permit you have to prove you know how to use a gun. What’s wrong with that?Well, the law also says that to get a permit to buy a gun, you have to prove completion of a firearms training course that is “offered by law enforcement, a community college, or a private or public institution or organization or firearms training school utilizing instructors certified by a law enforcement agency…”Local police and sheriffs do not “certify” instructors for the general public. Nor do they offer public firearms training. Linn-Benton Community College doesn’t offer such training either. Maybe some private gun ranges or self-defense instructors do, but they are not “certified by a law enforcement agency.”The State Police say they are working on administrative rules to carry out the new statute. But whenever the rules are adopted, they presumably can’t change the plain wording of the law.”
#2. Multnomah County’s flavor ban to wipe out countless small businesses.
Could you imagine government banning a grocery store from offering flavored drinks or a liquor store from banning flavored liquor?

1. Bills named “X” usually have the opposite effect of “X” on what their name implies, either by accident or design (by design especially when Democrats introduce them). This applies to most bills in state and federal legislatures.
2. Bills containing the words or described as “common sense” never contain any.
If sales are totally suspended, what will be the state’s motivation to implement a process? It could drag on forever.
Thankful I don’t live in that sewer backup of a state.
When DemocRats are in charge, then only a Supreme Court decision could force them, and then they will drag their feet and throw up additional road blocks.
I’m thankful that I don’t as well, despite having been born there and living there for the first 30 years of my life. That Oregon is gone.
Some of the consequences of mass mail in voting and electing morons.
This is even worse than Illinois’ FOID card law.
Democrats buy guns, too.
It was a couple of preachers, collars on backwards, and all, who wrote this 114 thing. They were hiding behind their pulpit and may have some personal problems because of that. Tax exemption and all? This didn’t come from gov’t directly but was an initiative. I expect these preachers will have some new life experiences since part of their bill had already been killed by the Supremes. But in the mean time it’s going to hurt some folks.
Why not ban the consistent gun violence in movies, on TV and in video games? This violence dominates and must impact those watching it.
Gun sales are going up soon in nearby states.
The 2nd amendment provides law abiding citizens a right not a privilege. The USSC should strike down any law that attempts to take away that right. Hopefully, Oregon's restrictive law will be struck down by the USSC.
It wasn’t always like this. We were Californicated.
I’ve been fighting it for 74 years. It’s heartbreaking. I was raised in Oregon. My kids, grandkids, great grandkids all here and I will die here. Sooner than I would like, probably.
Is that what you are going to do when the entire country becomes OREGON? Run away?
Agreed
If the Oregon law is allowed to stand, Oregonians will still need to register their guns bought out of state and be certified to use them.
The new law and others like it across the nation need to be struck down by the USSC. These laws are in strict violation of the 2A.
They sure don’t seem to vote that way. Any polling data that anyone knows of that shows an increase or decrease of registered Dems changing sides based on 2nd amendment rights? I’m sure one side, if not both, hired some polling outfit to explore this demographic. Believe I’ll start looking that up as well.
