I hope that all of the cities, towns and counties do similar. That would send a message.

14 WHEREAS, the City Council of Dallas, Oregon, is sworn to uphold the Constitution of the

22 be kept in strict subordination to the civil power''; and
23
24 WHEREAS, the City Council of Dallas, Oregon, recognizes that the first and last
25 protectors of the United States Constitution are the people of the United States, and that the
26 ability of the people to fulfill that role rests in large part on the peoples' right to bear arms as
27 stated in the Constitutions of the Unites States and the State of Oregon; and

29 WHEREAS, the criminal misuse of firearms by those in the criminal element is not a
30 reason to deny the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms by law‐abiding citizens; and

32 WHEREAS, the Supreme Court of the United States in District of Columbia V. Heller
33 upheld the individual rights to bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment of the United

This could actually be very helpful.
If enough counties around the state do this, next year Ted Wheeler is going to have a hard time getting Salem to ditch the state pre-emption. Because doing so would actually mean MORE guns in Oregon, if rural counties were allowed to write their own laws.

Line 36 gives me a little twitch.
Granted it says "lawful purposes"...but that lone "within the home" description could be spun into a qualifier for what is "normally accepted" as a home defense weapon.
I'd be happier if it had additional use descriptors such as "recreational" "sporting" "informal target practice" "collector" ETC.
"Within or outside of the home" would have been helpful.

Dream on
It is nice they did this, but is has no force of law - a resolution is nothing they can enforce, it is just a statement of support.
Moreover, city/county law cannot override state law. County sheriffs can say they won't enforce a certain law all they want, but the OSP can enforce a law too, as can city cops, and the latter is the most likely to be enforcing anti-gun laws.
