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.

This is c**p as long as they did not get the gun
What does it take to Fail Free White and 21?
You’re missing the bigger picture. AS More laws are passed, and District Attorney’s OVERCHARGE, and the VETERANS Department make PTSD a reason to deny 2nd amendment rights, you are getting a bigger and bigger pool of people who cannot own/use/buy a firearm. Pretty soon, the majority of our country will NOT be legal to own one.
The last “barrier” to his agenda is to DISARM the nation. Once that’s done, it’s all over people.
Gun fairs. Gun fairs. Gun fairs. GUN FAIRS!
See why is OSP doing this and not the FEDS… oh yea, the feds dont even go to trail over this stuff. It is the feds background check
but they let illegal aliens have drivers licenses….makes sense.
good,they attempted to break the law by trying to acquire a gun they were banned from owning one.
Hoping they get charged the max..
