Politics Nov. 2022 voting and election news

Did stalkers magically disappear since this law was passed?

 

Most people buy them so they don't have to wear ear protection. They don't actually make guns quiet. Just quieter. The movies are bullshit.

The only time a suppressor actually makes a gun quiet is if it's a sub-sonic round, so maybe a .22 or a 9 mm. It can't make rifle rounds quiet at all. It's still an audible crack. Just not ear splitting. So some people like to use them if they go shooting a lot at the range.

Personally I think they're too expensive and I wouldn't pay that much for one, but my point is that it takes a long time to get approval.

 

Glad you think it's funny.

 

True but I think Kotek was a weak candidate and still won

 

Kitzhaber was being investigated for a crime and STILL won. It doesn't matter who the democrats pick. The GOP can't win here.

 

My issue with gun law is it is going to have some negative consequences. One of my pass times is archery hunting deer and elk. I have a 9mm pistol I carry for protection against bears or cougars where a bow is not good for protection from a charging animal. Yes I was out in the woods and wandered into a sow and two cubs, I saw the cubs and heard her charging through the brush, fortunately it was a false charge and I quickly backed out of the area. Not feeling the 9 was enough for a charging bear, I bought a little heavier pistol to carry in the woods, a 10mm pistol. Guess what with the law it is now illegal for me to take these from my home and carry in the woods for protection. So what is this going to lead to, yep more guns being purchased. Just the opposite effect that they hoped. I am all for the AR platform going away and the big banana clips going away, but they wrote this narrow. Heck, the pistols police carry will actually be illegal because the clip holds 12 rounds, which is more then this law allows. Just another law that to many people voted for and didn't understand what it truly was. Just saw gun control so YES. I bet a lot of the people who voted yes just made their guns illegal without realizing it.

 

Kind of like no matter how big of a POS the republicans run in Florida the democrats can't win there. Lots of states like it.

 

I have a feeling it's going to be struck down.

 

No state should be perpetually run by the same party. Oregon has been under Democrat control my entire life and we have some major issues. There's no balance. And hilariously (or sadly) some of the things that democrats run on are some of the worst things about this state. Schools...... health care..... homeless.....

 

i want to make it tougher to get guns period. people don't need them. societies around the world work perfectly well without them. if these barriers deter people from buying them in the long run, then the measure serves its intended consequences for me.

 

I agree, if not it will be tied up in court for years.

 

I'm sure that measure was passed by the dozens of Republicans we still have in this state.

 

Most people keep guns in safes. If he burst into her apartment with a gun I doubt she'd have time to have gotten it so I'm not sure what your point is. It appears your argument is that having less gun restrictions will result in fewer crimes? That's not even worth arguing over.

 

I'm arguing that making it significantly harder to acquire guns will not hurt criminals, it will only hurt law abiding citizens.

 

You act like everyone involved in gun violence is a criminal. Most incidents are not premeditated and wouldn't happen in the first place had guns not been immediately present. Law abiding citizens can still buy guns if they want. It's insane that you seem to think this is the most important issue on the ballot.

 

Please provide some kind of evidence to back this up.
