Oregon "State of Safety" gun control group schedule. Who can attend?

[tiggers97]

So a new group has been formed for gun control in 2018 called "State of Safety". I only found out about them yesterday on a radio advertisement. They make the same old "just want an honest, evidence backed common sense approach to gun safety" blah blah blah.

I.e. gun-control groups in Oregon trying to re-brand and re-market themselves in a softer version.

Anyways; this brand new group apparently has lots of money to buy multiple radio advertisements and organize multiple screenings of the gun-control video "101 seconds" across the state of Oregon. Starting in Portland this weekend. The video is first, followed by a "town hall style" forum.

To me, this says "opportunity". Opportunity for people to grab a few friends and show up to fight the prejudice, fear and stereotypes these groups are projecting onto us. Opportunity to identify the language and strategies they hope to use for pushing their agenda.

Hopefully people can attend and report back what they learned.

I wonder what would happen if people put in requests for dozens of tickets and never showed? Not that I would do something like that - asking for a friend!

Probably received trickle down funds from Soros or Blumeturd no doubt.

The typical people who show up to these events already have their minds made up about guns so "facts won't matter", and you're not going to accomplish much, if anything.

It'll just be another large echo chamber...

I agree with you Stomper however, it could be good to glean information from the meeting regarding their tactics and approach on rolling this out.

Oregonian puff piece on State of Safety: Poll: Oregon parents, teachers favor safe gun storage requirements

They are pushing the results of an advocacy based image marketing group as an unbiased survey. They polled 1,000 parents of children under 18 and teachers with likely leading "push poll" type questions. How many of them were MDA? The poll, selection criteria, questions, and responses were not released, so it could very well have been entirely made up.

Partially true. I went to one of the IP43 signature gathering training sessions, and learned a bit about the people pushing the initiative, what they were avoiding and what they were using to bolster their position. i.e. where they felt uncomfortable weak and vulnerable. As well as free training on signature gathering, and what gets signature ballot sheets rejected... I didn't have to say a word, and enjoyed a cookie on them Sometimes they will mention some of their other (unadvertised) plans and strategies. Valuable information to share.

SO,...........................................Henry Wessinger again? Decided to change the name of his little Panther party did he, well well, that's nice! Wonder if it's to further shield his connections to those rich Billionaires trying to buy politics?

We need to keep a close eye on this dude! Seems like a slippery snek what needs a stepping on!

Thanks for the link.Their survey response below I can believe but, I also believe the root of this fear is coming from the media's hype and focus on the matter. The media derives profit by focusing on negative events local and world wide. Most cable and tv news has an anti-gun agenda so they hammer on this night and day. No wonder kids are afraid, if they did the same thing regarding air plane crashes the children would probably be afraid to fly.

I'm thinking that should read "60% of Oregon parents POLLED"

Anybody who thinks this guy can be reasoned with should keep in mind that he could have chosen a real polling outfit that would use a proper cross section of the electorate and would release full details. Instead he chose one that's pretty blatant about using data to improve the public's perception of their client. Note that the "poll" details have not and will not be released.

Make no mistake - Wessinger is the elite 1%er that will use his money to impose his will on the rest of us "little people". He has already proved that he will use his money to buy whatever smarmy lie he needs to sway the public. Once he buys this law he will follow up with further restriction on our rights and don't think for one second he will stop at our right to defend ourselves. The only way to stop this guy is to do whatever we need to siphon his money away and in the process make him look like a clown.

I wonder what else he has used his inherited fortune to buy? I bet there is a lot that can be dug up and you can bet he's no choir boy (no, I'm not against playing dirty when it comes to protecting our enumerated rights).

You got that right!! Henry Wessinger called me a couple weeks ago because of a nasty letter I sent him. I suggested they work to make firearm THEFT a felony, rather than criminalize victims of property crime. I mentioned the 73 firearms stolen from the store in WA state, with no prosecutions of the persons caught. Crickets!

He also procured the "poll" in this thread from an advocacy group. There is no way he would have listened to any of your points. Still, you gotta try.

I wonder how these tools can qualify for a 501(c)3 tax exemption, when their goal is to subvert the Constitution?? I know I am probably missing something??

I would be shocked if even that was even close.

At least one reporter asked for the questions, but were denied. If it was an honest poll, why not be transparent? Good question for people to ask in upcoming screenings.

"State of Safety declined to release a list of questions posed to respondents in the poll they released Thursday."

That sounds like 73 illegal firearm transfers and most likely the persons arrested had criminal backgrounds. By their own firecracker rules they should be in prison.
