Anyone watching what happened in Oregon and their new gun laws?

Curious what you think?

I live in Oregon. I heard the bill had stalled for a bit, and that's the last I've heard so far.

Do you mean as far as stalling? Or with the gun bill itself?
The new law was supposed to require anyone purchasing a gun to take a gun safety course and get a permit. I'm not sure why it was stalling.

The Canadian side of me says take the course... I can own handguns in Canada and the course I took taught me a lot. I also have a carry permit in Florida ... the course I took was nothing like the one I took in Canada. Now I could always buy a gun in Florida I just couldn't carry.

BTW, I think Florida is a constitutional carry state now and don't need a permit to carry.

On why the bill is stalling... it might be unconstitutional to make someone take a course before buying a gun. Recent decisions by the Supreme, as recent as the sumer of 2022 made it hard for states to make it sooo restrictive to get a gun or carry a gun... New York has to change their laws from May give a permit TO Shall give a permit.

I love the constitution...

Taking a course definitely wouldn't hurt. A lot of times lately, though, I hear people talk about the fact that gun laws are intended to prevent criminals from getting guns, but they'll probably find a way to acquire guns illegally anyway, so people worry about these laws actually just making it harder for law-abiding citizens to get guns to defend themselves.

That might be a big part of it.

Mandatory minimums is all you need... not all but close... X amount of years if you are caught with an illegal gun.... XX amount of years if you use a gun during a crime...XXX amount of years if someone is hurt while committing a crime while XXXX or death if you use an illegal gun during a crime and someone dies.... That'll fix a lot... Keeping up with the times, 2023, all of this is moot if you're trans-gender stripping at an elementary school...
