[HiDARG-MEMBERS] To important to not share....

[Chuck Allen]

I think Nora makes a point and there’s no good reason to drag out the discussion in this forum. It only emphasizes non-Ham points of view in a Ham Radio thread. Let it be.

Any controversial subjectual opinion not relating to our radio hobby does not belong here: A call to contact our legislators on behalf of a controversial subject is certainly political. There are more appropriate places to post this type of opinion.  If you doubt this is a controversial subject, watch this email thread!

>>> LC 38 would require all firearms to be locked with a trigger-locking device or kept in a locked container, unless carried by the possessor of a firearm, with each firearm not secured constituting a separate violation. Anyone who has their firearms lost or stolen would be strictly liable for any injury to persons or property if the firearm were not stored in compliance with the law. And, this liability will last for up to two years! Firearm owners would also be held liable for any injury occurring within two years that results from a firearm transferred to another individual if the firearm was not transferred in a locked container or with a locking device.
>>> 
>>> Gun safety and storage is a matter of personal responsibility and every person’s situation is different. It is unreasonable for the law to impose a one-size-fits-all solution. This poorly thought out proposal is without any consideration for personal circumstances. In short, this measure invades people’s homes and forces them to render their firearms useless in self-defense.
>>> 
>>> This bill would also require firearm owners to report lost or stolen firearms within 72 hours or face charges, with each firearm constituting a separate offense. In addition, those who do not report their firearms lost or stolen would be held liable for any injury that occurs within two years involving those firearms. A firearm owner should not be held liable for the crimes committed by a person who has illegally obtained their firearm. Individuals should not be further victimized after experiencing a burglary or other crime. 
>>> 
>>> Again, please contact your state legislators and ask them to oppose LC 38 when the session begins on February 3rd. In the meantime, please stay tuned to your email inbox and www.nraila.org for further updates on issues impacting your Second Amendment rights in Oregon.
