Well happy friggin election Oregon... :(

[Bullshot]

BC is spot on here, I believe it only passed in like 5 of Oregon’s 36 counties but that’s all it takes. And the sheriff of one of the counties it passed in asked voters NOT to endorse as he can’t enforce it with no budget. Current law for background checks etc. in Oregon costs approx $11 mil a year to enforce. Est first year cost of this new proposition is $55.3 million.Like getting a punch to the gut AND a knee to the … never mind

it’s the same playbook over and over and over.

Also, boo-hoo. Try living in NJ.

J/k by the way. I feel your pain. But my district did flip a house seat!

I'm hoping it's not as binary a situation as this email is making it sound for firearms purchases while the classes and permits are rolled out.

But what better way to sell more firearms than to create a panic?

Did I mention I’m glad I moved to Montana from Oregon this year !!!!


But I’m also sad at this news as well.

The sky is surely falling.

In all seriousness this is going to suck. But none of government has been in the office since the election results came in. I'm going to wait to hear from OSP before I speculate on the process.

I'm also going to immediately write my state reps about securing funding for this though.

Take western Oregon and western Washington and combine them to make North California. Take eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington and combine them to make West Idaho. Problem solved.

Why is Northern California being punished? Burn all of Oregon and give Washington to the Canadians.

Some of us Montana public lands advocates feel the same about West Dakota and East Idaho. (It's difficult to elect a real Montanan in either of those regions.)

Went to the Hillsboro Sportmans a few days ago. I overheard a worker say that they are the #1 store in the US for gun sales now. I could have heard that wrong, but they were slammed. I can't imagine this not being found unconstitutional, but look at CA, NY, WA, etc. This state used to be so great...

Eat the friggin cow @rwc.

100%
But at any moment one of our highly educated and enlightened members will explain to me how I’m a slack jawed fool for feeling this concern.
I was being sarcastic.

You really only have to block one guy to make it go away.

Cocaine, meth, and lots of other drugs are illegal, at least in most states, but people still manage to get their hands on them. Soon it will be time to get your high capacity magazines the same way. Illegally

Hell maybe eventually your state will start setting up safe distribution centers where you can get your high capacity magazine for free!!! It will be safe to ensure no one has tampered with it and best of all the taxpayers can fund it!

One good thing is, "the folks moving in will vote the politics they left" does not, at least in the short term seem to be proving true. FL, more red than ever, TX, likewise, and MT, well, elected Zinke. Wouldn't have been my first choice, but he's not someone who is going to vote with socialists for things like the Oregon "police decide who gets a gun" bill. More like Communist refugees reaching the US. Never want to hear about Socialism again.

Finishing each others' expletives, how womantic.

Am I understanding correctly that you have to have a permit to purchase the gun, but there is currently not a process in order to get the permit?

correct

no surprise
If you don't have a cc permit I doubt you'll get thru the background check backlog before it takes affect.

It’s takes more than 1 guy to set up a good ole boys network like they’ve got on here.

MN is the same in terms of how the state votes. It's a red state, with the twin cities and Duluth voting blue and ruining it for the rest of us. It's always the high population density areas that ruin the state...

That sure is handy.

All the whiskey at my house is free.

Hope everyone is okay with overlooking the minor detail that there is no whiskey at my place.

Somebody is going to make a fortune selling pmags out of the back of a nondescript 88 Caravan.
