That's cause in the late 90s and early 2000s the dot-com failures/Portlandia crowd moved to Portland from Seattle and San Francisco because it was a cheap, industrial, working class town. Then they immediately were upset that it wasn't Seattle or San Francisco and started to vote people in to make it that way.I'm headed to Idaho. Regardless of whether a 594 type thing happens here -- I'm just over it. I was born here and have lived here almost my entire life. It just doesn't feel like home anymore.
Gov. Tom McCall did just that.
I think you mean "normal capacity"She likes her AR and her :high capacity" semi auto pistols...
My zip code. My dad and his mother and a bunch of other family live in Texas. Hes been working on us to move down that way for a few years now. If Oregon goes full-auto-retard with the gun restrictions (plus higher taxes, they always want higher taxes) and keeps accelerating the downward spiral, the guns won't change, our location will. My wife talked me out of moving down there once, but if it gets that way even she won't want to stay here. She likes her AR and her :high capacity" semi auto pistols...
Change your legislators, not your collection or location.
O.K. Lets say despite all our best efforts here in OR, the anti's get their way and we have CA style restrictions or worse this time next year!
What say you?
You're right thanks, I only vaguely understand CA laws, that's why I added "or worse" to the title.I would say that you don't seem to understand California's law. They did no ban the possession of high capacity mags or any "assault rifles" already owned by Californians. They only banned any future sale or transfer of such mags or firearms. So anything already in your gun collection would be safe to keep.
So no one would have to give up stuff in their existing collection if laws like they have in California were past.
Now California does require guns to be registered. So one attempt might be to force all existing Assault Rifles to be registered in Oregon, so that the state has a record of who owns what. And of course they could try to ban new sales or transfers of high cap mags, just like the Democrats did in Colorado in 2012.
However, there was a major backlash against Democrats in Colorado in last month's election, because of that 2012 law. And some Oregon Democrats have taken note of that. They are worried about hurting themselves in the 2016 election.
There was one gun control bill in last year's Oregon legislative session that would have not only required registration of Assault Weapons, but also limited individuals to only owning two of them. So anyone owning more than two such guns would have to get rid of any additional Assault guns they owned. That same bill also limited ownership of high capacity magazines to a max of three per weapon. Own any more than 3 high cap mags for any of your guns, and you would be violating the law. However, that bill was never even taken up in committee for consideration.
I do expect some extreme bills like that to be introduced next year. But I am hopeful that there are enough Democrats of sound mind left that they are not going to try to reach that far.
We will just have to wait and see if Oregon's Democratic Party has gone insane on the subject of gun control, or not.

So in CA if you're grandfathered in you could keep what you had without adapting it's grips or magazine releases etc.? Just can't ever transfer even if you die right? Are you even allowed to use the grandfathered in gun that you must register? Also can you take the gun out of the State when you move?
