Dunno, but I remember reading about it awhile ago (like last month I think?) and was curious behind the legality of their "buy backs" and if they follow BCG's or other laws applicable to it or not. Something on their site in wording made me question the whole thing.
As for turn ins:
Gun Turn-in – Ceasefire Oregon Education Foundation
last one was Feb 3rd 2018 in Newport.
Recent Turn-ins
Our most recent turn-in was February 3, 2018 in Newport, Oregon. All weapons collected were removed from circulation and melted down.
The line in question about legality for me,
The Ceasefire Oregon Education Foundation has sponsored gun turn-ins since 1994. A gun turn-in helps people safely dispose of unwanted guns with no questions asked.
Following that with:
2016 54 (includes 2 assault rifles & 2 stolen guns)
Well I just found their loop hole for bypassing a BGC for their turn in events.
Thanks SB 941!!
Oregon Firearms Safety Act – Ceasefire Oregon
SB941 2015 Regular Session - Oregon Legislative Information System
Are family members exempt from background checks?
OFSA exempts specific transfers or sales including transfers or sales:
- Between spouses or domestic partners; or
- Between immediate relatives including siblings, parents, children, step children, grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, first cousins of the transferor; or
- The spouses or domestic partners of the relatives listed above (e.g. your nephew's wife);
- For certain temporary transfers; or
- Involving a gun turn-in or buy-back program
Hmm seems like a dangerous "loop hole" buzzword they like to use from a provision they set!
:^)
So a felon steals a gun, uses it in a crime, takes it to a buy back where they will melt the weapon down to raw material AND WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!! As Ceasefire proudly proclaims! They already listed 2 guns were stolen in the quoted post above so???? (Is anybodies almonds activated yet?)
No flaws in this system fellas certainly not its well thought out and totes not exploitable!
If this isn't seriously debated or questioned or even brought up in the next court cases or seriously looked into then I do not know what will potentially stop more abuse of a system that wasn't well thought out and had hoped nobody would look through carefully.
