Gun banners just got to ban guns. It is what they do.
Once is an accident.
Twice is a coincident.
Three times is enemy action.
Oregon gun control advocates are putting a measure on the ballot which will make it impossible for people to actually purchase a firearm.
The measure would enact a law requiring a permit issued by a local law enforcement agency to purchase any firearm. Applicants would have to pay a fee, be fingerprinted, complete safety training, and pass a criminal background check.
Hmmm, “Shall Not Be Infringed.”
“In order to obtain the permit, an applicant would have to show up with a firearm to demonstrate the ability to load, fire, unload, and store the firearm,” Williamson, an Oregon trial attorney specializing in firearms law, told The Epoch Times. “But you can’t get a firearm without the permit. And under Oregon’s highly restrictive gun storage laws, no one can legally loan a firearm to another. That creates an impassable barrier.”

Everything we see happening today is about making it as difficult and expensive as possible in order to exercise our rights as guaranteed in the Constitution.
“We can’t require you to show good cause? Then you will have to show you have good moral character.”
“You want a permit? No problem, just pay hundreds of dollars up front and take a training course. What training course? We haven’t defined it yet, you’ll have to wait until sometime next year.”
“You want to purchase a gun? No problem get a permit.”
“You want to purchase a gun? Sorry, there are no gun stores because they’ve all been sued out of existance.”
Side note, for the longest time there was only on LLC in Washington DC. He had an office in the MPD building. If you had permission to buy a gun from the government you had to jump through a bunch of hoops. Purchase you firearm outside the city and then have it shipped into the city to actually pick it up.

They’ve lost, but they are going to cause as much pain as possible on the way down.
“To possess a gun, you must have a permit.”
“OK, so I’ll apply for a permit.”
“There’s a catch. The permit is for a specific gun, which you must have in your possession in order to apply for the permit.”
“That’s some catch, that Catch-22.”
“It’s the best there is!”
Oregon has a citizen initiative process whereby any common dingbat with a church full of friends and a couple thousand bucks can put measures on the statewide ballot. What you’ve got here is your garden variety kArEN group doing their best to be ‘gotcha’ lawyers against those horrible gun killers. This measure, if it actually makes the ballot has not a snowball’s chance in hell of gettin’ anywhere, unless maybe there’s a ‘mass shooting’ the week before the polls.
MA is thumbing their nose at SCOTUS and Bruen..just like they have been to Heller & McDonald.
