In Oregon, a new initiative from a religious group is taking it a step forward. They want to ban any semiautomatic rifle with a detachable magazine, and that can hold more than ten rounds. They also want current owners of these firearms, law-abiding Americans, to take them out of the state, register them, sell it to a FFL dealer, destroy it, or turn them over. That’s right, folks—full-blown gun confiscation. Right now, the anti-gun church group is collecting signatures. The hope is that they fall short (via KGW8):

Come and take them.......

[HotHunt]

Even if these people were able to get enough signatures for their dream bill to take guns away from law-abiding US citizens, it will never make it past constitutional review in the courts.

A bunch of Christian zealots trying to impose their morality on others, isn’t that cute? And the same leftists who smugly proclaim G-D is dead and Jesus is an imaginary friend who’s father is a non existent invisible sky daddy support this. This church seems just as whacked as the Westboro Baptist church.

The loonies have already hired a steam-roller to flatten the firearms. More news at 11:00pm

“SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!”

What part of that phrase is confusing these asswipes?

I suggest that we detach WA, OR, and CA and let them drift west to run into HI.

signed,
ENOUGH

Well I’m glad they believe in God cause they’re going to need him.

You forgot the sarcasm tag on the end of that

Seriously?! Is Oregon except from the 2nd Amendment? Will this fly across the state or will the tyranny of the idiots in Portland overwhelm the rest of the state?

Jesus said that “you are mine if you obey my words”, He also said “ take your cloak and sell it and buy a sword”.

Peter responded to the latter and said “we have two”, the Lord curtly stated “that is enough!”.

I believe all of His words are the infallible truth. So I have sold my coat and have a sword (or two). Wonder why the Lord directed ( not asked) his disciples to carry self-defense weapons on their daily journeys?

I remember they had a hunting regulation back the early 80’s that only allowed 5 rounds in your rifle for deer/elk. My dad had an M1-Garand, which was legal in Washington, but he drew an Oregon out of state tag, so he had to borrow my brothers 7mm.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Cannot detach Washington State for another 12-15 yrs...gotta wait until i have built up my retirement enough....i will pull the plug for you as I leave the state then.
