Oregon Senate Bill 501
Hey all, thought I would post this just so those in Oregon are on alert:
Oregon Anti-Gun Bills Bill 501 is the most crazy, it restricts you to five round magazines and a limit of purchasing only 20 rounds per month (!!!). |

I do love that these bills get introduced and the leftists then wonder why the discussion becomes hyperbolic.

Just got an email stating that Washington is trying to introduce a house bill and a senate bill banning the sale of assault weapons also.

Yes, freedom is what everyone decides it is. These days, the extremists get to decide for you.
They are attempting to ban items people have safely owned and used for well over a century. It is getting well beyond ridiculous now, but it’s just the way the country is going. Most of the country’s gun owners feel comfortable with the freedoms that they currently enjoy. It’s only temporary. Your gun rights will go too. 5 rounds magazines and twenty rounds a month is ludicrous, but it will pass; maybe not in the legislature but certainly when given to the people to decide. The American people simply doesn’t want guns in private hands. |

I'd hate to see it passed, but it would be a great (ridiculous) case to try to get in front of SCOTUS.

When it comes to our gun rights, we are, at the moment, in a rather unfocused point in time. And what I mean by that is that about the only thing in our news is the criminal misuse of guns by a very very tiny percentage of our population. Anyone remember the thunderous silence from the gun ban crowd following 9/11/2001??? A very few of them even admitted that they had been wrong to believe private firearm ownership was the greatest threat to our way of life. Seems that, if we don't have an enemy without, to focus on, people will focus on an enemy within. And many well funded people are identifying gun owners as the enemy within. It's a lie, and they know it, but that doesn't matter to them, only to us...

From my reading of more unbiased research on gun attitudes, I take away that if you ask generic questions:
1. The majority of Americans support the right to self-defense with firearms. 2. The majority want measures to keep the guns out of the hands of criminals and those with severe psychological problems that predict violence It is still really unknown if there is wide spread support for an AWB, mag limits, higher cap guns limits or the like. Those opinions can be so swayed by the question and a moral panic due to an event. A prime example is Trump and bump - he panics. So, having some kind of bland gun at home is probably ok with the majority of Americans. I also don't think SCOTUS will overturn the myriad state bans despite the fantasy of Kavanaugh being the messiah or Moses of gun rights, leading the court to overturn all those existing lower court decisions. Last, the professional gun rights organizations are fairly clueless on a persuasive message on why the higher cap guns should be protected for folks outside of the committed. Nor do they have a strategic view on expanding support for such outside of the already committed.
