BREAKING: Look What Oregon Just Made It Legal To Do To Gun Owners In The State WITHOUT Their Knowledge
The left coast, land of green peace and home of hippies have once again decided that it wants to selectively get on board with states rights and overrule the constitution. The people who would be the first to say that the individual rights can’t be extended to individuals who want to decide whether to support homosexual weddings, want to say that they can individually decide when someone should have a second amendment right to firearms.
Different states have differing laws about when police can confiscate firearms when called to a scene of violence, but the one thing that most have in common is that it’s always done by an outside party who has the chance to see the alleged attacker and can assess the immediate risk. Also, they confiscate all of the available firearms that can be used to cause immediate danger.
Oregon has now decided that they’d like to give the courts and whoever wants to bring an accusation against an individual the rights to not only confiscate the weapons of someone who’s not an imminent threat, but they want to take their ability to concealed carry as well. If that idea is at all concerning to you, read on.
Via Breitbart News:
“Oregon lawmakers passed legislation co-sponsored by Sen. Brian Boquist (R-Dallas) that allows a judge to issue an ex parte ruling for the confiscation of an individual’s firearms.
The bill is SB 719, and it has now passed Oregon’s House and Senate. It creates an Extreme Risk Protection Order, which forces the subject of the order to hand over all firearms, as well as his concealed carry permit if he possesses one.”
I’m not sure where Boquist gets off calling himself a Republican, sponsoring a bill like that, but apparently, he’s a man with a plan, and for some reason that includes deciding the Founding Father’s second amendment is outdated.
On the 6th of this month NRA-ILA reported on the issue:
“Senate Bill 719A has been scheduled for a House floor vote today. SB 719A was passed out of committee on Monday without a public hearing and with only one hour notice of the work session. It’s imperative that you contact your state Representative immediately and urge them to oppose SB 719A!
Based on a California law enacted in 2014, SB 719A would create a so-called ‘Extreme Risk Protection Order’ (ERPO) that could be obtained by a law enforcement officer, family member, or household member in an ex parte hearing to deprive someone of their Second Amendment rights without due process of the law.
By allowing a law enforcement officer, family member, or household member to seek the ERPO, SB 719A would allow people who are not mental health professionals, who may be mistaken, and who may only have minimal contact with the respondent to file a petition with the court and testify on the respondent’s state of mind. This ex parte order, which strips the accused of their Second Amendment rights, would be issued by a judge based on the brief statement of the petitioner. The accused would not be afforded the chance to appear in court to defend themselves against the allegations when the ERPO is issued. These orders may be issued without any allegations of criminal behavior.
