Yeah... that's what they said about medical marijuana, and then recreational marijuana. And dozens of other voter initiatives in Oregon over the years.As said in the article, it is "symbolic"
So, waste of time IMO
But remember, the puppy lays down and rolls over because the trainer is holding a dog biscuit.Unless the lay downs just want to roll over and quit like good little subjects of the dictators.
And despite the fact that marijuana is legal in many states, including Oregon, you can still get busted by the DEA (despite Obama telling them not to) and hauled into federal court, and the State of Oregon legal system can't do diddly squat about it because federal law usually trumps state law.Yeah... that's what they said about medical marijuana, and then recreational marijuana.

There has to be first steps of the grass roots "we the people" speaking out and acting when bad laws are forced upon citizens by the rulers for there to ever be any change - or change back to our Constitutional rights "shall not be infringed" as in this case.

You missed the point. You have to make a start. A demonstration is one thing, but a duly elected government enacting a voter initiative is a much louder statement and much firmer start on the road to legitimizing it. Especially in Oregon where the initiative process is one of the most successful tools of self governance.But don't pretend that passing a county law means like this means anything in a court of law if you get busted for breaking a state law.
San fran said F U to the feds concerning sanctuary cities so why not bgc's
I agree with standing up and being heard.You are making good sense, if they can pick the laws they will follow just by a declaration then we can too. If our county sheriff's decide to not enforce bgc then it is a gun sanctuary county.
I agree with standing up and being heard.
But don't fool yourself or anyone else into thinking that this means the county would become any kind of "sanctuary".
Wow, that reminds me of people that insist on "voting their conscience."I agree with standing up and being heard.

Prepper depending on pension checks & SS? Huh?I guess that is why you have been so big in the end of society prepping, you have given up and think everything else is foolish. If preppers would have spent the same time and money on better politics would they still need to prep?
Good friend was kind of a preper, he built retirement so he and his wife would be secure in their old age. Navy pension and came out as an officer. Worked in private industry to get enough time to collect minimum SS and then went to work for the state to get a state pension. Died just before he would have retired of Parkinsons.
