This past Monday, Oregonians travelled from across the state and political spectrum for hearings on three Senate bills designed to further gun control initiatives.
Senate sponsors testified in support of the legislation, except for two of the proposed bills, for which no sponsors were identified.
Governor Kate Brown spoke in favor of two of the measures, noting they would reduce domestic violence, prevent suicides, and avoid public shootings by those with mental issues.
A lobbyist for the National Rifle Association (NRA) was on hand as well. Find out how she testified regarding the constitutionality of the proposed legislation on the next page.
What?
Your question is easily answered by reading the article. As is the case for many posts on which you comment, mom, the headline is what’s known as “clickbait”. It’s designed to evoke an emotional response (like it did for you) that then colors any facts that follow in the body of the article.
In this case, the truth is far from what the headline claims and is in fact far more nuanced.
Lawless criminals knock?!
No its fucking aint
Living in Oregon, we have high mental health problems and basically little to no help for them. But the third party bill has me worried.
Very few people do! We hear about the idiots, the media refusses to tell the stories of lives saved because of the presence of a firearm! It doesn’t jive with the agenda they push today, why do you think they hate Trump so, he is one of the first Presidents since Reagan that supports the Second Amendment, hopefully he will gett t least one more Conservative Justice before he is done!a
Dennis Schuler Yes, usually very loudly, as they are trying to kick the door in!
Mary West The people on the left in this country tend to see the Constitution as a roadblock to their agenda, they have nothing but contempt for it!
Why do you think that the politicians of this country are tryng so hard to divide us? They would rather have us fighting each other than going after them!
I have been shot and stabbed, and if I had to choose one over the other, personally, I’d rather be shot any day of the week!
