Related: About this forumOregon gun control bill attracts national publicity; sponsor says it appears dead on arrival
Even Rep. Mitch Greenlick, D-Portland, the chief sponsor of House Bill 3200, said the bill as introduced goes too far in not only banning the sale of these weapons but in limiting each gun owner to continue possessing just one of these firearms.
Greenlick said he also disagrees with a provision that would allow the state police to investigate gun owners who possess one of these weapons to make sure they are safely stored.
"In its current form, it's a pretty flawed bill," said Greenlick, adding that "I don't think [the bill] is in play."
Senate Judiciary Chairman Floyd Prozanski, D-Eugene, said last week that he didn't intend to proceed with any bills that would ban assault weapons or large-capacity magazines. House Judiciary Chairman Jeff Barker, D-Aloha, also said he opposed bans of this nature.

It says a lot when even a progressive state like Oregon won't pass an AWB.

Why do you hate the fourth amendment? Any part of the Bill of Rights you support?

Will celebration involve shooting guns in the air?

It was one of the more egregious ones out there. It will provide plenty of fodder for those want to document party foolishness.

(22,144 posts)6. No its because I support my party, the Democratic party
and such foolishness makes all of us look like idiots.

(39,171 posts)8. Since the NRA appears to oppose warrantless searches
is it safe to assume you support them?

Now is not the time to take a antiprogressive 2A stance...and they know it.
