Thanks for taking the time to contact them and posting the follow-up for us.As governor, I will support and enforce stronger background checks for gun purchases and raising the age to purchase certain firearms from eighteen to twenty-one. These are both practical ideas to help keep guns away from people who could be a danger to themselves or others. But new gun laws alone are not enough. Oregon's mental health system is the worst in the nation – I will lead to change that. We need more trained counselors in our schools and empower them to intervene when there are warning signs of trouble. I will support local school districts that want safer school buildings to prevent unauthorized access. We need to support – not demonize or defund – our police. I will put an immediate end to Governor Brown's early release of dangerous criminals onto our streets. We're not going to get anywhere until we stop coddling criminals and lock up the bad guys."
Both good and bad in there. Definately BLUE when it comes to the 2A. We already have a brownstain for that.
Tougher on crime would be a pleasant change, but I have my doubts that a bi-partisan appeal and compromise will get anything meaningful accomplished. The blue simply wont stand for anything less than "their way". What we need is a governor with a set of brass and willingness to do what's required to get things done... despite all the whiners and karens throwing hissy fits.. not trying to appease them.
