A voter-approved Oregon gun control law violates the state constitution, a judge ruled Tuesday, continuing to block it from taking effect and casting fresh doubt over the future of the embattled measure.
The law requires people to undergo a criminal background check and complete a gun safety training course in order to obtain a permit to buy a firearm. It also bans high-capacity magazines.
The plaintiffs in the federal case, which include the Oregon Firearms Federation, have appealed the ruling to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The case could potentially go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Do you know why they never called the national guard on the Black Panthers? Or why the pig never dared to confront them directly?
This is nothing more then a marketing campaign by the gun lobby to sell bullshit hero fantasies to left wing people too.
“The pig” killed 34 members of the Black Panther Party, including outright assassinations.
When the full details of the FBI involvment was revealed, the director of the agency issued a public apology for “wrongful use of power” and exactly 0 members of the pro-gun community used their guns to overthrow a government running projects like COINTELPRO.
The BPP being armed didn’t just fail to deliver on everything you’re promising, it provided all the justification the state needed to abuse and murder them – an excuse police still use to this day.
The left doesn’t need “marketing” to appreciate the value of modern-day weaponry - all we need for that is a proper understanding of the right and their liberal allies.
“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary” - the big kahuna himself, Karl Marx.
I’m no Marxist myself, but damn - when the guy was right he was really right.
It’s pig. Not “pig”.
I wonder why they couldn’t just lynch Fred Hampton on the sidewalk like they did with George Floyd - it’s a complete mystery to me.
Riiiight… because the fascists have always required an excuse to perpetrate mass-murder on people they consider “other,” correct?
Lmao you’d lose any war you fought.
The idea that you can own a gun and be safe from state violence has never once paid off for anyone who buys into it.
Appeasing the status quo is only an option for the privileged, Clyde.
Do tell… will the pigs be siccing their Klan and neo-nazi proxies onto you first thing or won’t they?
How many police and Nazis have you shot? Would you like to compare it to how many people neo-nazis and racist police have shot?
What a weird comment
The gun laws you’re advocating armed this shithead and thousands of others like him.
He deliberately targeted minorities and legal gun owners did nothing to prevent it and will do nothing to prevent it happening again, because the only solutions they support are the ones that just happen to be most profitable to the gun lobby.
Your guns saved neither of those people but sure, tell us how George Floyd would have gone done in your little gun utopia.
Should George have shot the cops? He’d still be dead, only now the people who wanted to kill him would be walking free.
Should a passerby have shot the cops? They’d be dead instead of (or as well as) George and once again, the cops would be walking free, probably with an even bigger budget.
Your bullshit “lets just shoot our problems” doesn’t help anybody except the far-right and the gun lobby.
You’ve done fuck all to create actual reforms, you just advocate other people sacrifice their lives.
If you’re so convinced you have the solution to systemic violence and oppression, go out and shoot the county better. We’re all waiting for you to make all this violence worth it, like you promise you will and have been promising you will for 20 years.
Until then, you’re only aiding scumbags and can stick your guns down your piss hole.
No, Clyde… a fundamentally white supremacist state brainwashed him and millions of others like him - and your only solution to all this is to disarm the people most likely to be targeted by these fascists?
I guess it’s true what they say… the only thing fascism really needs to flourish is a bunch of liberals to furrow the ground for them.
Do you have a head injury? My solution is to not arm the white supremacists, even if it inconveniences gun owners.
Meanwhile, your solution is to enthusiastically arm white supremacists over and over again and when they gun down as many, blame the victims for not carrying a gun with them at all times.
How is anyone supposed to believe you’re not a white supremacist or simp to the gun lobby?
They seem to be flourishing well enough with their AR-15s and your no-strings-attached support.
If you have the solution, why isn’t it solved? Go out and shoot somebody and fix it.
