Oregon As expected, SOS says walkout Rs cannot run again for office, per Measure 113

So, just a question, but what does this thread have to do with firearms?

Some of the bills the republican law makers walked out to block were anti gun rights like the suped up measure 114, what was it SB348.

the only somewhat pro gun representatives in our state just lost their jobs....

Agreed! The only failure to do the job they were elected to do that I see.... they folded. They came back, allowed quorum and much was passed, anyway.

To me, "well, we delayed some..." (until next session when they will try it all over again) isn't good enough when they could have blocked it all. It begs the question... what was the point of walking out and putting their jobs in jeopardy in the first place(?)

agree, they folded out of ignorance.
I didnt think they would walk and they did, then when they caved under pressure it was like watching the lead runner trip just before crossing the finish line.

But the only excuse they have is pure ignorance to not see just how badly they lost regardless if they got one thing. They had it all....

Stupid.

The fact that people have to ask that question speaks VOLUMES about why we keep losing this fight.
Amazing how many gun owners choose to stay completely uninformed and then act shocked when one day they find out yet another new law went in. One they had no idea was even being talked about. Often years later when some new law finally effect them but they ignored it.

It's all about fortitude, personal responsibility, and THE JOB YOU WERE ELECTED to do

You are missing the Point, my friend. Their JOB, under the Circumstances they were in, WAS TO WALK OUT.

You're right....amazing how the gun control issues are not being supported by those that will lose and be affected the most. United we must Stand. Danger 7.

Everything.

So to be clear I do agree with the walkout and fully understand it, however, what does this thread have to do with guns? This not a forum where we debate politics, this is a forum where we discuss firearms.

Read The OP's Post. There are many other forums that might better fit with what you are looking for.

This Forum is

• General Discussion
• Firearm Laws & Legal

The effect of Measure 113, the walkout, and the R legislators all affect "Firearms Laws", so, in my opinion, this is a valid topic here.

check out the article in the first post.

Yeah, I've read that and others, but they still have their jobs, and until the courts decide otherwise, they can still be elected. So again, what does this thread have to do with firearms?

Finally someone brings a valid firearms related comment. Still doesn't change the fact that this thread is political and not firearms related.

no it doesnt work that way, we are not waiting for courts to decide a current law is legal. Until the courts overturn the law, they cannot be reelected.
The thread has to do with firearms because the subject affects gun rights.

Actually, the current law in place (113) does prevent them from seeking re-election. They are currently disqualified for another term of office. The law must be successfully challenged and requires a court to decide to throw out that law if they wish to run again for office.

Not the other way around....

So,are they not challenging it? Last I read they were.
