http://www.leg.state.or.us/13reg/measpdf/hb3200.dir/hb3200.intro.pdf Any more boneheads want to tell me that the government doesn't want to take my guns? If this bill passes, owners of an 'assault weapon', (including dozens, maybe hundreds, of common semi-auto pistol models), will be allowed to register ONE of them. If you own more than one, the rest must be destroyed, sold or shipped out of state. Same for keeping high capacity magazines. Three mags can be registered. The rest must go. To register, owner must submit to background check....and what a fucking surprise, the State will charge the owner for that privilege. Never mind the owner went through the background check when they bought the gun (and paid for that privilege, too). The owner will have to store the gun in a way deemed acceptable by the state, and submit to an unspecified number of (warrantless) inspections of that storage. If I read it correctly, the owner will not be allowed to shoot the gun on public property, except a public gun range. It will be a felony to possess an unregistered AW or HCM. Anyone that thinks this will stop people from walking into schools and killing people is delusional. What is DOES do is create a list of where all of the guns are for when they decide to outlaw them. Yay, we can be just like California! Go Baa-aa
Honestly, this bill is so far over the line it's like they're trying to provoke violence. I know a lot of people who say that the 2nd amendment is a line that they will not allow to be crossed. This should, at the very least, be something that is put in front of the people for a vote. This should not be decided by the state government.
No replies from the condescending jerkoffs that want to tell me that the government doesn't want to take the guns from the citizens? That's what I thought. Go Blazers
naw.they are still tryin to figure out how much was deducted from their pay checks when oboma "did not" raise their taxes
jeesh, I wish people would've gotten this upset when we went to war in Iraq....or started denying people the right to vote.
People were this upset, trust me, but I think more people would have spoken up if they would have realized that we'd be in Iraq and Afghanistan for ten years.
This condescending jerk off laughs every time a barrel fucking gun nut cries like a 5 year old over the proposition of loosing their penis with a trigger.
Point being, there are people here that act like you're an idiot if you think the government wants to take your guns. The fact that 13 Portland politicians (All Democrats) signed on to do just exactly that proves, beyond a doubt, that taking my guns is precisely what they want to do. Then the know it alls disappear. Go Blazers
Fools that are willing to give up their constitutional rights cause us penis triggers to loose our rights too. Yeah, that pisses me off. Go Blazers
Interesting that a religious bigot like yourself would be judging anyone else. You still following that antiquated Catholic tradition? Go Blazers
I have no problems banning assault rifles fully. As to sending troops to Niger, I trust Obama is making a good decision. He has advisers and he certainly deserves the benefit of the doubt.
The same advisers that told him it was a good idea to give the Mexican drug cartels 2000 fully automatic weapons? Go Blazers
