Yesterday the Corvallis Human Services Committee voted to move a ban on loaded firearms to the full city council.

Was this based on any actual incidents of violence or accidents involving openly carried firearms on public property?

Was this the result of a long, reasoned debate that identified a real issue or problem?

No, this was the result of one member of the committee, Penny York, getting in touch with her feelings.

As the Corvallis Gazette-Times reported; "York, who admitted that her "decision is colored by my feelings," described her experience of knowing five people who have died from gunfire, four by suicide and one in a hunting incident."Yesterday we told you about California billionaire Tom Steyer's efforts to buy two Senate seats in Oregon and install anti-gunners. Steyer hopes to defeat Republicans Betsy Close and Bruce Starr.

Today the Washington Times is reporting that another out of town billionaire, anti-gun zealot Michael Bloomberg, is dropping even more money to attack Bruce Starr.

The Times reports that Bloomberg's "Everytown For Gun Safety"  spent over $18,400.00 in support of Chuck Riley, Starr's Democrat opponent."Everytown" has listed three expenditures for Riley:  $292.37 and $2545.02 for "card shipping" and  $15,600 for "paid organizers."

Riley's campaign has not, as of today, reported the donations.

As you know, the Senate is currently made up of 15 Republicans, 15 anti-gun Democrats and 1 pro-gun Democrat.  The loss of even one Republican seat could be disastrous for gun rights in Oregon.

Yesterday's hearing on lead ammo reinforced everything we were expecting.

While the hearing subject was listed as "Lead Ammunition Survey" there is no doubt that what will be coming down the road is an attempt to ban lead ammo.

If some of the more extreme anti-hunting activists have their way, the ban will be on all lead ammo, not just ammo used in hunting.

While the representatives from Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife did not call for an outright ban, others who came to testify made it clear that that was their goal.

Myra Finkelstein of the Department of Microbiology and Environmental Toxicology, University of California, and Debra Scheafer of the Audubon Society of Portland both called for a complete elimination of lead ammo.  But while their "science" was obviously agenda driven, one comment by Finkelstein was particularly telling.

Dear Friend of the Second Amendment:

We're under attack.

A desperate anti-gun lobby is trying to silence Gun Owners of America -- and your voice, too -- in federal elections.

Last month, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence attacked a pro-gun candidate in West Virginia, demanding he return money donated by GOA's political fund. 

Now they're insisting the same of a congressional candidate in California. 

I'm going to show you the email sent by Josh Horowitz, the Director of the Coalition to Stop Violence, but first let me set the stage.

Bloomberg already has an organized campaign of letter writers attacking Starr.

You can help us defeat Bloomberg with a donation to OFFPAC and you can  get a tax credit.  Or you can help Starr directly by making a donation to his campaign.The anti-gun left, always eager to assail the funding of Republican candidates by affluent out-of-staters, has been very quiet about California billionaire Tom Steyer's attempt to buy the Oregon Senate.

A May 22, 2014 New York Times article stated that Steyer's goal is to spend $100 MILLION to "defeat those who question or deny the established science of climate change."
 Leave it to the tolerant left to want to punish anyone who even "questions" their orthodoxy in spite of the fact that "climate change" is far from the "established science" the New York Times says it is.
