Floyd Prozanski is the primary advocate in the Oregon Senate of requiring government background checks (UBC) for ALL Oregon firearm transfers which is effectively total gun registration - the first step to confiscation.
SHORT VERSION: Floyd Prozanski is intractable to logic on the subject. When I pointed out that UBC is in effect a camoflaged registration scheme, he pointedly did not see registration as a bad thing.
Indeed his whole attitude was disbelief that anyone could possibly hold an opinion different from his on the subject. The mark of a true zealot.
At last he asked "What's the difference between having background checks on dealer and gun show transfers and having them on ALL transfers?"
I answered: "The difference between standing in three feet of water and eight feet of water."
He didn't even blink. Further discussion seemed pointless.
BOTTOM LINE: Floyd Prozanski is the dedicated enemy of every Oregon gun owner's rights. He cannot be convinced to change his advocacy of UBC. He can only be compelled.
We must seek to compel him.
FYI: Floyd Prozanski is a Democrat member of the Oregon State Senate, representing the 4th District. Senate District 4 includes parts of Lane and Douglas counties, including the communities of Eugene, Roseburg, Cottage Grove, Sutherlin, Oakland, Elkton and Oakridge. Prozanski serves as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
