Oregon Sheriff Announces Her Office Will Not Enforce State’s New Gun Control

Linn County Sheriff Michelle Duncan is making clear her office will not be enforcing Oregon’s new “high capacity” magazine ban.

The ban is part of B****t Measure 114 (BM 114), which was heavily funded by out-of-state money.

BM 114 also requires Oregon residents to acquired a $65 permit in order to exercise their Second Amendment right to buy a firearm.

KATU quoted Sheriff Duncan commenting on BM 114, saying, “This is a terrible law for gunowners, crime victims, and public safety.”

She added, “I want to send a clear message to Linn County residents that the Linn County Sheriff’s Office is NOT going to be enforcing magazine capacity limits.”

Duncan noted that her office is still looking at the purchase permit requirement, to ascertain their best course of action there.

She outlined her guiding principle, “I want to ensure anything we do or don’t do will not hinder gunowners’ rights to purchase firearms, intentionally or unintentionally.”

Duncan stressed that she hopes a lawsuit will be filed against BM 114, derailing the measure.

It seems that America has become a lawless nation. The president, congress and federal agencies choose which laws they enforce. States and their districts choose to be sanctuaries for i*****l a***ns and to give them drivers licenses along with registering them to v**e.. Local cities/counties choose to allow non-citizens to v**e in American e******ns. Now local law enforcement chooses not to abide by state laws they don't like. Even judges choose to be selective about our laws in their rulings. How is any of this good for our country or our future? Our society's philosophy about the law is that if you don't like the law, then work to change it legally, but until it changes, all must abide by it. Guess that's no longer true.

We are supposed to live under the Rule of Law. This means you obey it, until it is rescinded legally. I do not like anti-gun laws, anti-magazine laws, or anti-ammo laws, but I will obey them, and work very hard to help eliminate them.

Kinda of like the federal government not enforcing i*********n l*ws.

Well just look at the i*********n l*ws that are not being enforced. Or no bail cases. Or a lot of democratic DAs or prosecutors selecting the laws they will prosecute or enforce or not.
