Oregon Sheriffs Defy Voters, Refuse to Enforce New Gun-Control Measure

Then they should be removed and jailed. They do not determine what laws they will follow.

They took an oath to uphold the Constitution, so until the courts rule otherwise, this appears to be unconstitutional and they are acting accordingly.

I support law enforcement in not enforcing such laws but law enforcement has to remember, the people have the same right to not accept unlawful actions on the part of law enforcement also.

Thus, the electoral process.

I lived in Oregon for 5 years. Indeed, it is a paradise.

Outside of Portland it is very beautiful. Even Portland has some cool places to go.

Here's the Oregon election map. Seven fucking counties decide the fate of the entire state.

View attachment 726867

What the counties need to pass is a sort of electoral college for the counties. Each county elects ONE representative to represent the county’s voters that way the handful of blue counties can’t rule the state.
Maybe restrict it to state and local measures and races to keep the feds out of the plan.

Who is going to arrest them? Sheriffs answer directly to the local voters.

By the way, just wanted to mention to all those interested, a lawsuit was filed last week to strike down, or order a temporary suspension on the gun ban measure.
It will be heard by a federal judge tomorrow 12/2.

The defense (the state) is claiming the magazine limits are not covered by the 2nd Amendment, because "magazine" are not guns.

Yes... and the 1st amendment does not cover bibles because they aren't religion.
There will be an injunction against enforcement, and it will all be struck.
