'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 |
| The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. — Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States; With a Preliminary Review of the Constitutional History of the Colonies and States before the Adoption of the Constitution [Boston, 1833]. |
