I have no problem with our state gun laws.

Gangs up in Portland aren't going into stores and passing a brief background check.

We know that dangerous people acquire firearms nefariously.

I agree that Brown is bad for Oregon to remain Oregon when we are a culture of firearms..hunting, sport, target shooters...and most important of all reasons, to own proper home defense firearms.

The radical bills that Brown is promoting are fashioned to allow hunters to keep five shot weapons.

Then they'll want to limit possession to gun club members where hunting rifles will be held.

Once the government starts picking away at any of our rights, not just guns, we're in danger of tyranny.

Easy they are too far carried away and are getting people worked up needlessly. The 2nd amendment says we have the right to keep and bear arms. We will and we shall. To repeal any amendment would take several years just the same as making a new one. Every state has their own gun laws and some citys are very strict. What is troubling to me is-- with every mass killing the NRA steps up with the propaganda and guns and ammo fly off the shelves. You get a goofball like Beto saying we are going after you AR 15s and the rush is on. People are running scared needlessly and it is not good for the country.

Aw come on Coos, NRA members are not "worked up needlessly". We are the sane ones in the room! We, through are parent organization are simply defending our rights as stated in the Constitution.

You know, I go to my local VFW daily for my Budweiser, (Doctors Orders) and virtually every Veteran there is a life member of the NRA and is not "worked up needlessly". Likewise at my monthly meetings at the American Legion and the VVA, (Vietnam Veterans Association) are not "worked up needlessly". We are simply Patriots defending the 2nd Amendment. Where in the world did you hear we were "worked up needlessly"?

A question I often ask liberals, is to cite an instance where an NRA has committed a mass shooting, and all I hear is crickets. Your enemy is not the NRA, but liberalism~

Over the past two decades, Democrats have been pushing very hard to do away with the Second Amendment. Both nationally and at state levels, many Democrats have pushed legislation to restrict gun ownership as much as possible. In some states, such as New York, Maryland and California and cities like Chicago, Baltimore and Los Angeles, Democrats have succeeded in passing numerous restrictive anti-Second Amendment laws and ordinances.

Ironically, those locations are among the nation’s leading areas with the highest incidence of gun violence, yet, Democrats are unwilling to admit the direct relationship between gun control and gun violence.

During the reign of Barack Hussein Obama, there was a huge push for more gun control laws, with some Democrats actually stating that their goal was to repeal the Second Amendment. Consequently, gun and ammunition sales hit record highs for several years. Membership in the National Rifle Association (NRA) also soared with the threat of anti-gun legislation being pushed by Democrats.

After the election of Donald Trump, it appeared that NRA membership and their finances followed the decline in gun and ammunition sales. With a pro-Second Amendment president, fears about gun bans diminished.

However, after a rash of crazies using guns for mass shootings, the call for stricter gun control, up to and including gun bans, have taken on a whole new level of political activity. Not only are most Democrats using gun violence to push more anti-gun legislation, but some RINOs have begun to join them. Consequently, membership in the NRA has again risen. In April 2019, it was reported that NRA membership had not only has NRA membership recovered from the decline after Trump took office, but the membership has reached the highest level ever, with about 5.5 million members.

Many believe that over the past few decades, it was the political influence of the NRA that has been the strongest voice to protect the Second Amendment rights of American citizens. The political influence of the NRA has been a bane for Democrats who are dead set on disarming the American people as part of their push to make America a socialist nation.

The anti-NRA mindset among Democrats has grown to such a point that many now believe that it should be illegal for anyone to join the membership, as reported:

The National Rifle Association is America’s largest gun rights organization with more than five million members. But a sizable number of Democrats views it as a terrorist group and believes it should be against the law for Americans to belong to pro-gun rights organizations like the NRA.

Following several recent mass shootings, officials in San Francisco declared the NRA a domestic terrorist organization. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that nearly one-out-of-three Likely Democratic Voters (32%) favor declaring the gun-rights group a terrorist organization in the community where they live. Fourteen percent (14%) of Republicans and 20% of voters not affiliated with either major party agree.

Twenty-eight percent (28%) of Democrats say Americans should be prohibited by law from belonging to pro-gun rights organizations like the NRA, a view shared by 15% of Republicans and 10% of uanffiliateds.

Among all likely voters, 23% favor declaring the NRA a terrorist organization in their home community, while 18% think it should be against the law to belong to pro-gun rights groups like the NRA.

Only 13% believe NRA members are more likely to commit a crime with a gun. A plurality (47%) says members of the group are less likely to commit such a crime, while 28% think the level of gun crime by NRA members is about the same as in the population at large. Twelve percent (12%) are undecided.

This coincides with much of the anti-America, anti-Constitution, anti-rights, anti-freedom agenda. It’s all part of their plan to turn America into another Venezuela, Iran, North Korea, Russia or China!

If you take the time to check on every NRA convention you will find not one incident of a shooting.
And as a member, everyone, there is packing.

You are wroung there are just as many on the right that cry about gun control after mass shootings,so don't blame it all on liberals. We liberals have as many or more guns than the right and ain't nobody taking our guns.a And don't say people don't get worked up when the nra or the right starts talking about the liberals are going to take your guns,gun sales go through the roof,ammo some you can't even get.I wonder how much ammo is out there right now that even worth spit,because people that were buying it up not even knowing how to store it.
