One that really may help is that The Oregon State Sheriff's Association has estimated that if a person somehow could complete the required training, the permitting process would cost sheriffs almost $40,000,000.00 annually. There is nothing in the measure that provides any funding and the fees included would not come close to covering the costs. There is no estimate on the cost or impact on small local police departments.

Thats just sheriff's cost!!
 
State and Federal law allow the transfer of a firearm if the State Police don't complete a background check in 3 business days. This measure removes that safeguard. So a single mom with threats against her and her children could literally wait forever to get permission to get a home defense firearm.
 
"First and foremost, I hope voters will take the time to educate themselves on the measure and review it line by line," Umatilla County Sheriff Terry Rowan said. "Measure 110 might not have passed had people studied it. Proponents sold it as breaking the cycle of addiction, but didn't focus on legalizing the most dangerous drugs, so that addicts would no longer be compelled to seek treatment. Similarly, Measure 114 advocates focus on stopping gun violence, but the public really needs to evaluate its language."

"If a citizen of Pendleton needs a gun for self-defense, who is going to provide the services required by the measure?" Rowan asked. "City police forces lack the time, money and staff. The unfunded, mandated safe handling and storage instruction is an attempt to stall people in purchasing a firearm."
 
Proponents of 114 suggest that is somehow remedies a problem with background checks but fail to mention that we already have universal background checks in Oregon. The system they propose is similar to Illinois in that a Firearm Owners Identification card (FOID) is required prior to purchasing a gun or even ammunition. However, the largest city in Illinois, Chicago, has one of the nations highest rates of gang violence and murder. In reality, the measure is only a burden on the law abiding citizens. The other danger is the required database for the states permission ship. That means that the names and addresses of judges, prosecutors, federal marshals and all law enforcement will be published. If a battered spouse decides to get permission to purchase a gun from the state, her attacker can simply look in the new database to find out that she is preparing to purchase a gun. It's the same for anyone taking out a protection order against another person. The list will also be available to thieves who want to either avoid a house where people have guns or would like to steal those guns. In fact, anyone that has a bone to pick against gun owners can get the list and use it for whatever purpose thy choose.

The whole thing is faux moral chest pumping to show that "they care and are doing something" when in fact, they are doing absolutely nothing that will reduce violence. It's the old "do something, even if it's wrong" theory. They can brag about having taken action when they know it means nothing. You would think the minister would recognize the sin in his actions, but apparently he, and his followers, are reveling in their immoral actions.

It's a clear tactic to ensure it gets voted yes. The average voter in OR who does not own any firearms will skim over the title of the measure and vote yes on background check requirements, even though they are already in place.

This is absolutely going to pass. ☹️
 
Just Vote Harder, people! Place your hopes in a system that flouts the rule of law, pisses on the Bill of Rights and destroys your birthrights. Many times, my posts here have been deleted for being "political". Well, firearms are a political subject. When they change the name of this forum to NorthWest Slingshots, I'll still have my possessions and dignity knowing that IDGAF what the Commies say.

That is exactly what they're doing. Same talking points they sent out for dissemination on the radio, i.e., "background checks".

We're not doing anything wrong. We need to stop living in shame and being cowed into silence by socialist bullies who want everything to be everyone's business and who don't respect private property rights.

I pay a lot of taxes every year, I love my country and I obey the law. I am also not responsible for what happened in Uvalde. And I am insulted people would even suggest that.

Once you understand that, in fact, you are doing something wrong, then you begin to realize the current state we are in. This realization will set you free. You are an anachronism, an impediment and a symbol of what needs to be destroyed. You're double plus ungood if you happen to be white. You are an American male who loves his country. That alone is enough to condemn you. Your only worth to them is as a tax slave.

The Republic is done. Its time to cut bait, harden your hearts and keep building community. All is not lost. Just the Former USA. I'll probably catch some flak for saying that but it's true. The sooner you realize it the better. They have declared war on us and we'ren still arguing over the scraps of the debris fied.

Helping the people who don't know anything about the initiative will help. Make it real to them. The same people who prevent police from jailing criminals want to make it difficult for you to buy your own self defense. The criminals get guns illegally now. It's only you that is affected.

I wholeheartedly agree that we should be good stewards of the firearms community and help people become aware of the long, slow march thru the institutions by the Commies. Knowledge is power. But so is bureaucracy and the might of the State. That might is being wielded against the common man. My initial point is that our enemies don't play fair. Why should we? We're doing bake sales while they're throwing firebombs. That's the difference. The State has taken a decidedly Leftist turn for decades now. Far longer, actually.

Don't give up. Love thy neighbor, but build a strong fence. Talk to whoever will listen about freedom and liberty. But, don't be surprised when you wake up one day to find yourself a stranger in your own country. We don't even have a damn border anymore. That is the main job of the FedGov. This is not by accident. Stock your pantries and your libraries. Cut off worthless friends. Don't waste your breath on Cuckservatives or Leftists.

"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws."
