Oregon voters may get the chance to weigh in on a pair of gun-related ballot measures in the November election, if proponents are able to gather enough valid signatures.
One of the measures, Initiative Petition 44, took a step toward the ballot this week, as proponents submitted 1,790 qualifying signatures. That allows the secretary of state's office to begin verifying the signatures and then to submit the measure to the state attorney general to begin the process of crafting a ballot title. (The other measure, Initiative Petition 43, would ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in Oregon.) |

Ignore the obvious shortcomings of the initiative's approach.
The critical issue is: RIGHTS CANNOT BE SUBJECT TO MAJORITY RULE REFERENDUMS.
Not here. Not in the United States.
And where they are, the practice must be STOPPED. |
