Oregon state troopers are now being called on people who fail the background checks to purchase a firearm.
Officials state that it’s a crime for people who can’t buy a gun to attempt to purchase one. Up until now they have let the law sit on the books, but that’s changing as they have begun enforcement.
Oregon state troopers are now being dispatched when a person tries to buy a gun but fails the background check. It comes after critics complained that state laws that ban certain categories of people from buying guns were not being enforced.
It’s a crime for convicted felons or people with certain known mental health problems to attempt to buy a gun. But until recently not much happened in Oregon if someone tried to skirt the law. That’s now changing, according to an internal state police training bulletin obtained by the gun rights group, Oregon Firearms Federation. Its director, Kevin Starrett, says he’s talked to two upstanding gun buyers who were questioned by state troopers after being inexplicably rejected by the background check computer.
“What they’re doing is a ridiculous waste of time, but they’re doing something and we’ve got to do something, and this is something so this is what we’re going to do,” said Starrett.

The state trooper’s are the same as the military in this circumstance and have to follow orders or face disciplinary action, this being said I do believe that the right to bear arms is a birth right of all U.S. citizens and should be carefully governed by the people. We do not need guns in the hands of some people, a firearm is a needed tool and should be kept out of the hands of tools.
More bs from the left attacking Americans
Funny how you hate gun laws because they are unconstitutional but i never hear a peep about the millions incarcerated over unconstitutional drug laws.
I’ll be damm
This is not true, I failed because of the State Police error and then passed after it was corrected and no cops came to my door
Yes, pedophilds and murderers have the right under the Constitution (God given right) to own and carry a gun.
What I am trying to suggest to you is that if the money is an issue or you don’t necessarily must have every new model of Adidas soccer cleats right away, take an advantage of prices “revolution” in Adidas cleats market (it always happens when a new model comes out) and get yourself a high quality soccer cleats for much less.
