SB 699 bars all firearms from public buildings, even with CHL. The bill begins with and emphasizes the Capitol Building. Just more protection of the ruling class from the filthy masses.

SB 758 requires all firearm owners to have $10k liability insurance per firearm. Creates financial barrier to exercise protected rights.

SB 760 creates a duty to retreat from an attacker, even within your own home. Makes criminal activity safer for the criminal.

SB 796 expands the requirements to obtain a CHL.

Most of these include a clause that declares an immediate state of emergency, so that the bill can be immediately enacted.

Please contact all of the state senators about these bills IMMEDIATELY

immediate state of emergency

This clause is more insidious than you realize.
Any law that is enacted by the Oregon Legislature becomes null and void if it is successfully referred to the people. Whenever enough signatures are gathered for referral the law is returned to the status of a bill. The bill is then voted upon by the people themselves to decide whether or not to enact the law.

Article IV section 28 of the Oregon Constitution states that no law will be enacted that takes effect before the 91st day after the end of the legislative session, unless an emergency clause is attached. The attachment of an emergency clause has the effect of advancing the date when the law becomes effective to less than the 91st day.

This is very important because Article IV section 1 (3) (a) states that any law may be referred to the people for a vote that does not become effective until after the 91st day following the end of the legislative session. This is designed to provide enough time for the people to successfully gather the required signatures. An emergency clause makes the law take effect before the 91st day; thereby, preventing the law from being referred to the people.

Essentially this clause is being used to bypass our ability to recall and force a public vote on the issue. Call your Rep. and give em hell.

$$ barrier? Not really ... they know what this is for: grabbing your gun when you forget your insurance payment ... that's the real reason.

I did a FOIA request with my state rep .... low and behold..they know that insurance companies would not pay out in a shooting .. but its being proposed to grab your gun ...
