Oregon attorney general issues ballot title for initiative to ban sales of assault weapons
And so it begins, nibble here, nibble there...then they come for everything with the list you gave them....roll over canoe...my, what a major coincidence, all these crazy kids choose just the right time of year to go off the rails too....
Had I stayed in Oregon, I would be a felon under this proposed law.
I'm 75 years old, quite physically fit, just want to be left alone, yet very afraid of what is happening.
California, no explanation needed. To make it even worse than the $80 billion train to nowhere, Mooon Beam's kooky "Delta Tunnels" idea to build 100 miles of 60 foot diameter tunnels under the Bay delta to haul more Northern California water south (without disturbing migratory wetlands), and $4.8 billion a MONTH on Medicaid for illegal immigrants now allowed by federal law - Now Gavin Newsome, his kooky named-successor, is running on a campaign promise to ban "assault weapon ammunition". What the hell is "assault weapon ammunition? a .223 or 7.54x39mm round? What about all the other firearms that happen to use those calibers? Why are they so dangerous compared to my .300 winmag custom-loads with 500% more knock-down power (than a .223)? The world will never know... Apparently, he wants to ban anything sold in a spam can, and we can't have it shipped in either anymore (and why I'm getting an FFL). Typical liberal logic - they can't "infringe on the right to keep and bear arms" - but they will ban the ammunition for them! Whatever, anyone that is a good shooter loads their own anyway, I'm sure I can technically have brass and projectiles shipped via FedEx still. Dumb asses.
Oregon: We actually looked few times, we have an RV we love to travel with, we've made several 5+ day trips to Oregon in different parts. I'm putting my foot down, generally, when the RV I tow behind my Ram truck is better than most of the houses people live in, it's a bad economic sign... Add to that, all the kookiness of the People's Republic I'm trying to escape.
Washington State: Some parts are fine, stay out of Seattle. My last few business trips there which tend to be spaced a year or two apart are unmistakable - Seattle has already become San Francisco without the Poop-Guide app (yet) for marking your walking route around the city to avoid the human poop on the sidewalks. Last trip I spent $200+ a night on a mediocre hotel to watch 3 different hookers walking a stroll in front. Yes, they don't have income tax, that's the only advantage and they certainly gouge you on everything else anyway. I'm sure Seattle will chase Amazon out and the "HQ 2" plan will become the "relocation plan" after taxing them $275 per employee (just for being in Seattle) to pay for Seattle's horrible utopian socialist failures.
Recommendations - The Nevada side of Lake Tahoe is very nice, just very expensive. California side = $600k, Nevada side 100 yards east (same house), $1.6 million. No joke.
The rest of Nevada... hard to say, too many Californians.
Utah = awesome
Idaho = awesome (though struggling with growth I fear). Politically sound.
New Mexico = might not be bad, we're doing a trip there soon. It's a blue state, but one of the better ones.
Colorado = meh, lots of friends there, great elk hunting, very very blue. It will look more like Calfiornia every year.
Arizona = awesome politics, too damn hot in the summer, hunting sucks (unless you buy a $20,000 "outfitter" guide license every year and pretend your dog is your client). Too far to pull the RV from Phoenix to the better states around it. We're considering it though and just leave every spring & return in the fall. Unfortunately, I don't like the Phoenix mega-lopolis much and I'm looking for smaller towns than that. Northern part isn't bad (just no water).
Kansas = love their property tax assessment plan... something like 3% of 11% of your home's appraised value (give or take)
Many others are much better as well in red country, I'm partial to places where I can elk hunt though.. or within range of Colorado/Washington/Idaho without having to do a 2000 mile RV trek. Planning to do epic hunts every year when I retire, so I'm looking at it through that lens. Nashville is awesome, Ohio, Indiana, etc.. No elk hunting and shitty RV camping though, which is why they are not on my list- I know others will view those differently.
Not if we don't want it to.I don't own an arsenal, but I treasure my firearms. Ain't nobody gonna git 'em.
At my age, a marshal doesn't scare me any more than prostate surgery. So I'd advise anyone coming for my guns to tread softly and put aside your big stick. I haven't been practicing all these years for nothing. All those who crave a 3rd eye, come visit. We'll serve tea made with water heavy in lead content.
I could not have my 17-shot 9mm highway to hell glove compartment pistol or the two 30-round clips for "The Evil Hag," my thus named carbine
with an AR-15 frame that I had constructed after I heard Candidate Clintonista say, "I dream of open borders," which scared the hell outta me.
At least I'd get to keep my 12-guage pump shotgun. That's actually the deadliest weapon I have.
But all that's okay. Me dino is gonna stay right here in the Free State Of Alabama.
My last will and testament instructs my desire to be buried at a pretty cemetery with a funeral home that's a 7-minute drive from here. .
Guess what my spell checker's only alternative to Clintonista is? Stalinist!
It does not show you is that you can fully reload your four shells into the magazine AFTER clambering a round to give you 5 shots.

The flaw in all the gun taker arguments is just that, bad people will not follow the law, that IS why they are bad people....
I keep pointing out the stupidity that assuming a misdemeanor gun charge is going to stop anyone considering mass-murder.
The word assault means an action intended to inflict damage upon a target. It says nothing of the motive. If one were to "assault" a home invader, we are now to believe that is bad?
A weapon as a noun is only that. It is an object that can be used to any intended motive. So, it is imperative to understand the difference in epistemological definitions when an "assault weapon" becomes a "defense weapon".
The deliberate conflation of these words is just that - deliberate obfuscation.
Generally speaking, only states that recognize my Utah CCW are even remotely being considered.
I actually had some idiot flame a comment of mine that I was 'ignorant for pointing out that NAZIs were on the LEFT when they were really on the RIGHT"... umm.. no.. they were socialists, they planned their economy, they assigned jobs to workers (and slaves), they were totalitarian, and absolutely a left-wing regime. The idiot pointed out they were racist like all right wing people... really? Because the GOP was founded to fight slavery, the GOP "carried" the Civil Rights Act, which nearly every Democrat voted against, the Dems fired on Fort Sumter, and they voted in unison against the Suffrage movement. This will get to the extreme point sooner or later when they go the violent route again, it's inevitable, they want their socialism that bad - make no mistake. The country snapped out of it with suffering through 8 years of Obama, now they are beside themselves with anger (look at Antifa).
