SB 941 Now in House Committee

[papahepcat]

I thought I'd just start a new thread since the bill is a new chapter.

So SB 941 just got assigned to the House Committee on Rules. What a boring committee name, btw.

For what it's worth, there are 5 D's on the committee compared to 4 R's. Here's the committee page:

https://olis.leg.state.or.us/liz/2015R1/Committees/HRULES/Overview

There hasn't been a public hearing scheduled yet, but I'm sure there will be shortly. On that page, you can click on the little expander icons next to each date to see when the bill is scheduled. Maybe this committee will allow more folks to actually testify vs cutting them off.

Or... I guess here's the bill page itself. It'll show when the hearing is scheduled under "Scheduled Events."

Oh, and everyone says you should contact your Senator and Representative. And you should. But if you can't make it to the hearing to testify in person, you can at least submit written testimony to the Committee specifically. For this particular Committee, emails should go to: [email protected]

I did....for what it's worth

It should have gone to the House Judiciary Committee, but they sent it to Rules in order to fast track it - thus avoiding the opposition of pro-gun Judiciary Committee Chair Jeff Barker.

So he is one of the good guys? Maybe this thing isn't as hopeless as it seems if we all keep at it!

That party is just great as the fast track circle jerk. No ethics whatsoever.......................

Welcome to mob rule with the scent of blood in the water. The people of Oregon are getting what we asked for in the 2014 elections.

 

[Ratfink]

I like the sticker that reads "keep the weirdo's in Portland" ...lol

 

[Norm0931]

Anyone know the actual rules behind what committee it gets assigned to? Why would it go to Rules vs Judiciary or vice versa? Is there a lawsuit that can be filed about improper routing or something?

 

[locobob]

The leadership of the party in power makes the rules.

 

[mrblond]

What gets me about all these new laws is they pass then they can get checked on if they are constitutional or not. IS that kinda backasswards? should they not be checked against the constitution BEFORE they become law?

In regards to SB 941 the Oregonian mentions two Nortwest Firearms threads of us discussing 941 and the movement to recall 2 senators over this.

Keep up the fight and please flood the oregonian comments. And somebody share where we can sign this recall petition because it will get this registration bill shut down if sucesfull....

The fact that a bunch of turds from other states are buying laws makes me sick.

 

[etrain16]

Got a postcard from the NRA ILA today - first I've seen of them in this fight.

 

[rick benjamin]

I received my card today.
I called the number and politely expressed myself.
The guy on the other end candidly said "you know, she sponsored SB941"
I said yes I did and am disappointed in her choosing to do so.
Said I thought well of her when her response to the Clackamas Town shooting was to push for a tax credit for anyone buying a gun safe. Said "you know mandatory registration is next" He said that's not so.
I reminded him Prozanski said so in a public speech.
Thanked him for his ear, gave him my name and city.
Will write an email to Fagan along the same lines.

I am an NRA life member, citizen of Oregon. That's what the NRA did, gave me a suggested action.
I am doing whatever I can think to do, including driving to Salem.
That said, This deal was filed as an emergency, no citizen vote allowed, Supermajority of socialists.
My State Senator is against this bill, but in the minority. My State Rep? ....
It's a Tsunami that will test our swimming skills....

Didn't he run in 2008? He's grayed up a bit since then...

The efforts opposing this bill and likely the recall efforts appear to be getting some attention. I saw some of Bloomberg's money being spent last night in the form of and ad pushing SB 941 on KATU. I did my best to keep from puking and think I heard "loophole" and "children" about 85 times. I feel like my TV has been violated and I don't enjoy watching it as much.

They are worried now if they are resorting to commercial ads to get/keep public support. Time to double down on our side - they have DEEP out of state pockets to fund this crap.
