Just one more attempt to disarm America and government telling us we're too stupid to raise kids on our own.

 

[Member 5605]

No more guns mounted on display cases on walls then...

Even if the ammunition for said gun is locked up.

 

[Jim Colvill]

Short of violating the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution I don't see any way to enforce this without relying on snitches or those with a "Gladys Kravitz Syndrome" to provide "probable cause"

 

[Capn Jack]

Forgot to add, firing pins removed and ammunition stored separately.
Unbelievable!! Doesn't anyone remember this crap when it comes time to vote?

 

[308]

Unenforceable.

 

[CoastRange57]

The crime is punishable by a Class A Misdemeanor and individuals convicted under the law will be prohibited from owning a firearm.

This is the worst part of this, taking and trying to make this "misdemeanor" crime prevent you from owning a firearm..

 

[Just Jim]

Odds are they would wait for something bad to happen then go after the parent as an example. When that doesn't work they will get your liberal friends to rat you out for no safe.

In other words, don't let your liberal "friends" in your house. If you happen to invite them to a BBQ, make them walk around back and relieve themselves on the fence.

No kids, no grandkids, no problem

No ...there is a big problem..just because you do not have kids or grand kids does not make it acceptable.

Not yet. They'll come for you soon enough though.

I have some liberal "associates" who I may associate with in civic or charitable activities I do. My " friends " are all like minded freedom loving 2A people. I can pretty much guarantee if you are invited to or come to a BBQ at my place, at some point guns are coming out and some lead is going down range. Pretty much guaranteed.

 

[dbpep]

No ...there is a big problem..just because you do not have kids or grand kids does not make it acceptable.

Yep. How often must people be reminded... Just because this one specific bill doesn't target your current situation, doesn't mean the next one won't. This is why we need gun owners to stand as ONE to prevent every anti-gun bill from being passed.

 

[tiggers97]

Last 10 years there have been 4 deaths of children under 14 due to an accident as the assignable cause. No clue if it was during a hunting trip, or a true kid-finds-gun. Also, Oregon gun accidents are down about 77% since 1990. I'm not sure, and I'm hoping a lot of others are as well, that this law will even get used once in the next ten years.

 

[albin25]

Of the total children killed by dogs in 2012, 79% (15) were ages 2-years and younger.

How many bills are proposing to require muzzles on dogs that may be around children? (I'm hoping none...just making a point)

 

[SCARed]

Looks to me the bill is actually a punitive one. NOT a preventative one. Your only guilty if a minor actually gets a hold of the gun without permission.
