'Tis not we, the citizens whose Rights have been infringed, that have lost our minds. 'Tis those whose irrational fear of criminals lead them to restrain the law-abiding.
Our Legislature, in an act of cowardice, added an "emergency clause" to the bill, which prohibits the citizens from overruling them through the Inititiative process of petition, signature gathering, and voting to repeal.
I say, let's really go for it and amend Oregon's Constitution to prohibit ANY AND ALL PRIOR RESTRAINT (except, maybe, within courts of law) on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms by law-abiding citizens here in Oregon... to incluce fees, registrations, taxes, caliber, size, etc... the entire panoply of federal regulations as well.
Who's for it?

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
