Today, the House Judiciary Committee will be hearing two bills of interest to gun owners, HB 2628 and HB 2915.

HB 2915 allows a small tax credit for the purchase of a"qualifying gun safe."

As far as we can tell, this bill is mostly symbolic.
 
HB 2628 is troublesome.  It adds the following language to the stalking order statute:

(c) The court may specify other relief in the order that the court finds necessary to:

(A) Provide for the safety and welfare of the victim and the children in the custody of the victim;


This language currently appears in ORS 107.718, the statute dealing with restraining orders.

***TAKE ACTION NOW***

This administration wanted to ban AR-15's outright and that failed. Now they are looking for any backdoor loophole they can find to limit their use by taking ammunition off the market. Furthermore, the Second Amendment was not enshrined in the Bill of Rights with the idea they wanted to protect sport shooting. It was most certainly written to ensure that the American people had the means necessary to throw off a tyrannical government. Today we live in a corrupt and morally imbalanced society where making such a statement in a Fox interview on September 16, 2010 earned me a listing on the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence's Insurrectionism Timeline. Such will never preclude me from speaking the truth. I'll wear that as a badge of honor. George Mason, co-author of the Second Amendment said, "I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them." - Speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 14, 1778

This grab for ammo will not stop here just as the grab for guns has not stopped. They've been working every angle they can think of. Recall the multiple attempts to ban lead? This fight is not just about one type of ammunition. It is about a grab for freedom and liberty. And if the American people don't start getting engaged it will continue. Patrick Henry said, "The great object is, that every man be armed ... Everyone who is able may have a gun."- Debates in the Several State Conventions on Adoption of the Federal Constitution, Jonathan Elliot, ed. 1836, vol. 3, p. 386
