You clairvoyant or sumthin'? Or just trying to bait like a master?
They don't ? You got any 'real' proof of this?
Look at SB941 and how quickly and easily all of these gun loving patriots complied with that BS. Same exact thing. The God's decide to enact some crazy, unconstitutional, erroneous feel good law, and we bow down.
a rat for what? Washington firearms laws have a clause for shooting on privately owned property and National Forest

Some of your neighbors are going to be people who voted for strict gun control. Some are just HOA wannabes that get into everyone's business. Could be that your dog crapped on a neighbor's front yard and they want revenge.
not mine - we live on acreage in Washington state surrounded by Mormons and loggers
Their candidates have been shouting into microphones on national television that they are going to take away the guns. Some of them got elected and now they control the senate. What's more, they just passed a very restrictive ballot measure in Oregon. So stop with the denial.
Come again?You clairvoyant or sumthin'? Or just trying to bait like a master?
Yeah, I think so.
BUT: Not everyone in a given household owns a gun. Household gun ownership is not necessarily an accurate metric for voter behavior. There may be multiple persons living in a household, yet only one owns a gun and who knows how the other residents will vote. Household voting solidarity isn't a given. I know this from personal experience. Various surveys suggest that about 30% of the US population are actual gun owners.
Shamia Fagan is a gun owner, Paul Kemp is a gun owner. Even if all gun owners voted that wouldn't necessarily guarantee a defeat of a measure like 114.
It's hard to dispute this statement. The gentleman with his expensive over and under shotgun, living in a gated community isn't apt to vote pro either.
Very true, and I believe the vast majority of gun owners are willing to support various levels of 2A restrictions in the name of safety.
Those of us who follow NWFA are probably not representative of the majority of gun owners. Like the many people who own one or two guns for home self defense. They are trying to protect themselves from bad guys, and see gun control measures as actually enhancing their own protection. Which of course may have no basis in fact. But it's what they perceive that causes them to vote this way or that. They don't appreciate gun control measures as working against themselves, because they are the good guys. Gun control is for the bad guys. Or something like that. You could work up a similar scenario for hunters who may have one or two purely hunting rifles and use them once a year.
BACK to the OP on this.
It would have in this case.
We will probably never know unless a pro 2A measure is introduced to overturn effects of Measure 114 and it passes.
According to the Secretary of State there are 3,000,000 registered voters in Oregon. Only 1,800,000 voted. Numbers quoted vary, but somewhere between 1/2 and 1/3 of Oregonians are gun owners. Let's take the bottom number, 1,000,000. There were 889,000 "NO" votes. I suspect that many of those "NO" votes were from non-gun owners, so maybe that number is still more like 700,000. Where are the other 111,000 to 180,000 gun owner "NO" votes? We lost by 32,000 votes. If even a fraction of those gun owners who didn't vote would have gotten off the lazy asses we wouldn't be in this predicament now. I suspect those who didn't bother to vote will now try to rationalize their decision and say it wouldn't have mattered anyway. But the numbers don't lie. We did it to ourselves. So anyone who didn't vote has ZERO business complaining about anything. They need to just STFU.
