Oregon decides to criminalize gun owners
This law - if passed - places onerous burdens on gun ownership, mandating a background check, etc., for even temporarily lending your gun to a friend - like at a shooting range. Insanity.

While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
I'd love to get an Oregon lawyer's read on it, however, as this seems a very limited view of the US 2nd Amendment - especially when compared to Montana's very specific grant that designates the right as a precedent to Montana's part in the Union itself. The way that can be read, it is implying that the State grants the right and the wherewithal of implementation.
They have a provision authorizing a State Militia (see Article X), but no enumerated right to bear arms.
Morons.
