Gun Confiscation Ballot Measure Updates.
05.09.18
Last evening at 5pm was the deadline for submitting comments on the ballot title for IP 43, the firearms confiscation measure. This measure would ban not only almost all modern firearms but could potentially even ban some lever action rifles.
Anyone who commented has standing to challenge the ballot title created by the Attorney General in the Oregon Supreme Court.
The Secretary of State is reporting they received over 1000 comments. Typically they receive a dozen or fewer.
The comments can be seen
here. Many of you have shared the comments you sent with us. We have seen some very impressive and thorough work and you should all be proud.
Next up as you know, is the same process for
IP 44.
This outrageous attack on your rights and common sense would require that your guns be inaccessible and even holds you responsible for crimes and accidents that involve a firearm you owned, for
5 years after you sold it.
Based on the Heller decision it is almost certainly unconstitutional. In Heller, the late Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in the court’s opinion :
“The requirement that any lawful firearm in the home be disassembled or bound by a trigger lock makes it impossible for citizens to use arms for the core lawful purpose of self defense and is hence unconstitutional.”
