Statewide gun sales stop 12/8, County flavor ban, 24K lost jobs, More…

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?

Like I said, I don’t care anymore. It’s not an honest vote? Then do something about it. Voters get what they deserve. Period.

Sir Ed,

Thanks for the info.

We need to get to work on repealing this ridiculous law or getting it struck down in a court.

It needs to go away, regardless. I think there’s a court date fir 2 December in one case.

Oregon is a beautiful state. Politically, its a sewer. That is why 2/3rds of the state have recently voted to become part of Idaho.

I am not sure what the actual full process to complete that is, but really, the federal government should do it, and the democrats should be the top of the list in trying to get it done since they are so pro-democracy.

Until elections are honest here, and in the whole country, everything is going to go to hell very fast.

That ship has sailed! More than ever before, we are witnessing democrat and RINO governments at federal, state and local levels using what should be apolitical institutions (Courts, AGs, FBI, IRS, Sec. of State, police/sheriffs ... - to destroy their political opponents. If a 2nd revolution was to be the instrument to remove the tyrants, what chance would the revolutionaries have against the force and forces that would be arrayed against them?

It would take a miracle - like the one we had fighting the British.
