This is something that fascinates me about this state. How does one small city iron fist the rest of the state? The rest of the state has nearly nothing at all in common with the needs of that city. Why not do a city ordinance? That woukd suit their needs (still don't support this, don't get me wrong) like Chicago and New York city do, but not completely overreach like they are doing now. Why does someone in the urban hell hole insist that people living far away from anyone else in the high desert or southern valley woods need to have the same rules? Incredibly shortsighted. If Portland wants to ban guns, then vote to ban guns in Portland. Other places don't have Portland problems, and those places don't send their problems to Portland whatsoever.Outside of Multnomah County, the entire rest of Oregon cumulatively voted this down. Going forward, I say that the rest of Oregon ought to excommunicate Portland from the State.
Start a 'Boycott Portland' movement. After all, they've overwhelmingly voted to restrict our constitutionally protected civil right.
(8) As used in this section, "proof of completion of a firearm safety course" means the following:I'm hoping you are correct, although I think that 114 is fairly explicit that the training must be done by law enforcement.
And there was no digital anything. That was even more mask off than it was today that elections are fixed. How could they possibly count and verify that they're all legit in one day without computerization? I think the only reason it takes a week now is to cover all their bases, dot the i's, cross the t'sRemember back when we had an ELECTION DAY not an election week?
Old voters just stayed home...Old voters are dying.
Young voters are Left.
I believe it goes into effect 30 days after the vote is certified.What is the effective date we can no longer purchase firearms without a permit?
Im pretty sure that anyone with a functioning brain is already boycotting Portland. I dont know anyone who goes there anymore and spends money willingly.Start a 'Boycott Portland' movement.

But that would be too much 'common sense', duh.This is something that fascinates me about this state. How does one small city iron fist the rest of the state?

Amen brother!I joined and donated to the 2nd Amendment Foundation. They are responsible for most of the recent big wins and may be our best hope here.
Where do I sign up for the separate class-actions on all these entities?What's next? Somebody sues the state for violating the 2nd Amendment. Mag bans have already been thrown out by federal courts. A training class, a license, and fees to exercise a civil right won't fare any better. A public database will not fly under federal law (the 10th Amendment extends federal prohibitions to the states). A may issue system has already been ruled against. And finally, the whole thing burdens the 2nd Amendment without any demonstrable public interest being promoted.
I hope whoever sues them (and the FPC and NRA at least are waiting patiently until we have an effective date and therefor standing) moves for an injunction and/or restraining order to block implementation until the matters are litigated. Such motions are made when implementation would cause irreparable harm that cannot be reversed if the statute is thrown out. The statute specifically calls for irreversible modifications to legally possessed firearms, so it should be a slam dunk to get a stay. I can't think of any aspect of this statute that is not illegal on its face.
I would love to explore the idea of suing the state AG and SoS, since they both knew full well that the statue as written should never have been allowed on the ballot. In addition to multiple violations of the Bill of Rights, it also violates Oregon's constitution concerning ballot initiatives covering more than one issue. It would be hard to argue that their dereliction of duty was not willful. And finally, campaign materials for the statute specifically admit that the purpose of the statute is simply to impede the public's ability to exercise the rights guaranteed under the 2nd Amendment, so perhaps Rev. Knutsen and his pals, and their respective organizations can each be sued individually and personally for willful violation of civil rights, since they have admitted malicious intent.
With a 27k vote gap. The only reason the percentage is going down is because the total votes are going up while the gap is staying more or less the same50.1% yes vote as of tonight at 79% count ...
