Oregon Oregon lawmakers set out to repeal gun control bill pushed by fellow Republican

[Joe Link]

Two state representatives and a former candidate for the state House filed a referendum Tuesday that would repeal a new state law that allows officials to seize a person's firearms if they pose a danger to themselves or family members.

Rep. Mike Nearman, R-Independence; Rep. Bill Post, R-Keizer; and one-time candidate Teri Grier will now begin an attempt to gather the more than 80,000 valid signatures required to get their referendum on the November 2018 ballot.

The law their referendum would repeal, Senate Bill 719, was the signature gun control measure enacted by state legislators in 2017. Other, more restrictive bills pushed by Democrats -- including Gov. Kate Brown -- died without a vote.

The bill that passed establishes a system of "extreme risk protection orders," similar to the process Washington voters approved in 2016.

Under Oregon's law, a judge can issue an order requiring a person to hand over their guns if they're deemed a risk to themselves or people they live with. The person then has 24 hours to turn in all guns before they can be seized.

Rope, tree, politician. Some assembly required.

I guess it is better late than never to your job.

Some hot tar indiscriminately applied with lots of feathers as a binding matrix to hold the assemblages together..... BINGO!

 

[HB of CJ]

Yep ... talk about not doing your job. A little bit late don't you think? Like now is not the time to close that huge barn door after all the stock up and ran off ... with it hanging wide open.

But ... at this point we will take what we can get. We are also allowed to bit ... ch about the effort spent NOW vs the effort that should have been spent THEN! But this is just me.

Edit: On an obviously totally unrelated note years and years ago as young Boy Scouts we learned knots and hitches. Our favorite was the Hang Man's Noose. Thirteen loop slip knot!

So, we have to get it on the ballot to vote publicly to repeal it, but they didn't need squat to approve it?!

 

[11Charlie]

I am not holding my breath.

But I really do like the tar, feather and hanging idea. Can we get a video of that and post it on youtube so all the other idiots out there get the point.

 

[Misteramax]

One more signing up for the rope, tree, and tar solution.

Yes, because we have a Democrat majority (now only ONE seat away from a supermajority) in both State Houses and a Democrat Governor to rubber stamp whatever they tell her to. NOTHING was going to stop this or ANY other anti gun legislation from passing. The ONLY option left to Oregon Republican lawmakers was to make sure they filed for referendum. Had they tipped their hand earlier the legislation would have become an "EMERGENCY" in order to prevent referendum requiring the much more difficult Initiative process (Remember the "no fake emergencies" Initiative). Probably the last time the Democrats will make that mistake.

If anyone is interested, there's a Recall Kate Brown petition going around. It's going to be circulated until the end of September. It needs 260K signatures. If we can get the numbers, not only will she be ejected from her governorship but she would never be allowed to hold public office again.
If you want to check it out there's a web page "recallkatebrown.com". On facebook, search "recallkatebrown" and then insert your county. IE. "recallkatebrownjacksoncounty".

"recallkatebrown.com" took me to a website that is RAISING MONEY FOR KATE BROWN - looks like they bought that name to prevent anyone from using it. I am assuming there is some other website with the recall petition, that I still haven't found, out there somewhere.

As nice as that sounds that's unfortunately not quite how the process works...

After gathering the required number of signatures, the chief petitioner submits them to the appropriate filing officer for verification, no later than 90 days after the prospective petition was filed.

Recalls: Signature Verification
The elections filing officer must complete the signature verification process no later than the 10th day after signatures are submitted for verification, or no later than the 100th day after the prospective petition was filed, whichever is earlier.

If signature verification shows the petition contains the required number of signatures, then the public officer must either resign, or submit a statement of justification to be printed on the ballot. If the public officer doesn't resign, a recall election is held within 35 days of the expiration of the resignation period.

The number of signatures required to qualify a recall for the ballot is 15% of the total votes cast for governor, at the last election in the public officer's district.

We KNOW she won't voluntarily resign, and a statewide recall election will have to occur. How do you think that's going to work out once all the drones who voted for her put their two cents in again? In the unlikely event she does resign (awesome), or loses a recall election (even more awesome), then the SoS (currently Dennis Richardson) succeeds her... which would be AWESOME!

Yeah, I ran into that as well.... you have to search "recall Kate Brown" and it's their Facebook page... I don't do Facebook.... period.

I don't understand. Did you read the story? It is a positive story that should be praised, not scorned. Am I missing something? That horrible ex-parte (you don't get to be there in court during the decision) nature of this law denies due process so badly that this wreaks of unconstitutionality and really needs to be referred to the voters.

Hip hip hooray for Bill Post and Mike Nearman!

 

[Misteramax]

Most voters that put this horrible woman in office don't know what the Constitution is. State or federal. They would scream bloody murder if this was a bill with the same lack of due process that violated civil rights, but noooo... it's ok it's just gun owners.

 

[tinkerbill]

I'm another who absolutely loathes Facebook. Google is just as bad! Both want to know everything about you, then connect all the dots! Gone are the days when a person could have their privacy!

 

[Misteramax]

Google is snoopy for sure. However the reality is I don't care if people know my gun or porn viewing habits.

The problem with Facebook however...is something of a deeper problem. Facebook and it's founder have done nothing to help people. In a nation with a problem of cell phones being everywhere and people being dependant on em, what does Facebook do? Well it's a business so it's just going to get people hooked on stupid stuff. If it's not bad enough, they are pushing for virtual reality maps. Going hiking and getting outdoors will be done by goggles.

FaceBook is all about gathering information and eventual control. The scary thing is that people willingly give them the tools to eventually control them.

They do. It's also promoting a tattle tail nation.
