It is not the right choice for the good citizens of the great State of OregonThese are just a few reasons below HB 2005 is not the right choice for Oregon. 1. This bill infringes on our Second Amendment rights by punishing lawful gun owners who possess undetectable firearms or unserialized unfinished frames or receivers.2. The high penalties imposed for possessing or transferring these types of firearms threaten law-abiding citizens with harsh punishments that do not fit their actions.3. Requiring a criminal background check before transferring unfinished frame or receiver is unnecessary and burdensome to responsible gun-owning citizens.4. The vague language used in the bill leaves room for interpretation by prosecutors and may result in unjust convictions of innocent individuals.5. Oregon currently has sufficient laws and regulations to control firearms, so there is no need for additional restrictions that hinder our right to bear arms without reasonable cause.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++2) HB 2006: Oregon – Super Easy step by step instructions how below.

It is not the right choice for the good citizens of the great State of OregonThese are just a few reasons below HB 2006 is not the right choice for Oregon. 1. It infringes on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. The right to bear arms is a fundamental right enshrined in the US Constitution, and this bill restricts the ability of citizens aged 18-21 to own firearms.2. It will not effectively address the issue of gun violence. Criminals will still be able to obtain firearms through illegal means, and this bill will only punish law-abiding citizens who want to exercise their right to self-defense.3. It places an undue burden on responsible gun owners. Under this bill, individuals who unknowingly transfer firearms to someone under 21 could face fines and imprisonment, even if they had no reason to believe the recipient was underage.4. It ignores the root causes of gun violence, such as mental health issues, gang activity, and poverty. Instead of punishing law-abiding citizens, we should be focusing on addressing these underlying issues.5. It sets a dangerous precedent for future gun control legislation. If we allow the government to chip away at the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, it could lead to even more restrictive gun control measures in the future.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++3) HB 2007: Oregon – Super Easy step by step instructions how below.

It is not the right choice for the good citizens of the great State of OregonThese are just a few reasons below HB 2007 is not the right choice for Oregon. 1. Violates Second Amendment rights: House Bill 2007 infringes upon the Second Amendment rights of citizens to bear arms by allowing public entities to adopt policies that prohibit concealed handgun licensees from carrying firearms in public buildings and adjacent grounds.2. Makes citizens vulnerable to attacks: By prohibiting concealed carry in public buildings and adjacent grounds, House Bill 2007 leaves citizens vulnerable to attacks from criminals who do not follow gun laws. This law will disarm law-abiding citizens who are in public areas where they may need to defend themselves.3. Disrespects local governments: House Bill 2007 overrides the decisions made by local governing bodies that have opted to allow concealed carry in public buildings and adjacent grounds. This law disrespects the authority of local governments to make decisions that best represent the values of their communities.4. Creates confusion for concealed handgun licensees: House Bill 2007 creates confusion for concealed handgun licensees who are trying to navigate a patchwork of different policies adopted by public entities. This law makes it difficult for licensees to understand where they can and cannot carry their firearms.5. Punishes concealed handgun licensees unfairly: House Bill 2007 imposes disproportionate penalties on concealed handgun licensees who violate policies adopted by public entities. This law results in a Class A misdemeanor conviction punishable by 364 days’ imprisonment, a $6,250 fine, or both, for those who carry firearms in buildings or on grounds subject to such policies. This penalty is unfair and unjustified for those who are law-abiding citizens exercising their right to bear arms. ... See MoreSee Less
