I think the attachments are worth the read. Be aware that the study really doesn't come up with anything that we hadn't already suspected, i.e., the majority of people that shoot other people are criminals, and the people they are shooting are mostly criminals as well.

Think I might go to the meeting just to see how it's run compared to the Marion County Republican monthly meetings.

Wait just a sec....

I reviewed the pdf info docs and didn't see "firearms with legs randomly popping off at passerby's". Did I miss something??

You're right though. Not a thing in there was anything we didn't already know.
Known criminals and prohibited persons "criminal'... the same as are the vast majority their victims.

Maybe the plan is "how do we make law-abiding gun owners criminals?"

So.....what does it cost?

But, I suspect they won't like any answer that involved THE TRUTH.




Aloha, Mark

PS......Rrrrrright......because, certain questions can't even be asked now a days.

and was SHOCKED to find that they still do the pledge of allegiance..in Oregon...go figure.

The meeting didn't really open up anything new and there was no discussion on how criminals get their guns. Salem police chief made the comment that they can't arrest their way out of this. Several people made the case for school security officers.

In any case, this was a preliminary study and there was no clear path forward except that they will think about it. Community involvement and more police officers was a common theme for moving forward.
