Hey, I live in Portland, OR. Know what never happened here before this election? Fanatical, alt-right, pro-militia, anti-government wannabe-soldiers holding rallies here. This weekend, the Oath Keepers are holding one and they're trying to recruit as many members as possible to make it to Portland. One of the most liberal cities in the country. Getting flooded with a bunch of pudgy, middle-aged white men with Oakley Blades, tactical vests, and telescopic batons looking for trouble by antagonizing Portlanders. Worse, their wording in their recruitment emails sounds very "wink-wink, bring your 'protection' with you this weekend" as if they're preparing for violence. Worse yet, having a concealed carry permit in Oregon also allows you to open carry. We're going to have tons of THESE guys walking around downtown Portland looking for a fight.





This is not normal or ok. These people freak me out.

They're nice if you live in the country and want to go hunting, or need to shoot coyotes or something.

They're also nice if you're batshit crazy and think that FEMA is going to start a race war and that you'll need to be heavily armed and store guns hidden in your walls.

Outside of third-world nations literally in civil war and/or ongoing genocide, America is the only country in existence with such insanely unregulated access to guns like we have in most states. Which is why so many crazy fuckers are absurdly fanatical about their guns, as if it's their religion.

i'm pretty sure if some republican was like "we think the standards for getting a drivers license and buying a car are way too low, we want to make it harder! Too many people are getting hurt and dying on the roads because of car crime!" you'd see a ton of them nodding their heads and getting on board with that.

but if a liberal wants to make it harder for mentally ill people to buy guns, and stricter reporting on private gun sales, the whole republican base gets their pitchforks and marching boots ready.

oh if he gets impeached there will be a whoooooole lot of people gathering around wal-mart parking lots getting pissed off.

there won't be a lot of riots in cities though, basically every city will look like their major sports team won; people drinking champagne in the streets and stuff

Hey, you know what's legal now? Due to loopholes and verrrrry carefully skirting the edge of what's legal, things like the Mossberg 590 Shockwave. In the past, this would have been called a "sawed off shotgun" due to it having a total barrel length of 14". It's tiny.

Guess what? This week, I picked one up. The shop owner actually called the ATF when it arrived because he thought I was trying to buy the legal equivalent of a machine gun. They informed him it's absolutely A-OK. Handed over money, signed a piece of paper, and walked out the door.

No background check.
No waiting period.
No prerequisites.
No extensive paperwork.

It was easy enough to make me uneasy. ANYone in Oregon could do the same as long as they aren't a felon or been institutionalized. The ATF is still trying to decide if they'll allow them to be ok for concealed carry. Some crazy dude looking for a reason to use it could be walking down the street with a freaking 12 gauge shotgun in his backpack. Insane. Insane, I tell you. As a person who owns some guns, I have to say that gun laws in this country are stupid and broken and need to be revised.

Depends. In Oregon the exact wording on the form is "Have you ever been adjudicated mentally defective or have you been civilly or criminally committed to a mental institution?"

Yup, pretty much. I have no problem whatsoever with access to guns. But that access must be heavily regulated with comprehensive background checks, no dangerously stupid loopholes, no ridiculously high-powered weapons that civilians should never be able to own, etc. Owning a gun is perfectly fine, but having virtually unchecked and unfettered access in most respects is just the most insane thing.

I mean technically if someone gets treated for ADHD it falls into the category of "mentally defective". And there is quite a difference between "guy who inherited depression from his father's genetics" and "guy who thinks gremlins tell him to shove pinecones up his dickhole". Do they not differentiate these things?

The problem is that it's very hard to reach a consensus as to what's "unreasonable". It's very arbitrary as to what is considered 'more dangerous' and what's 'less dangerous'.

Is it anything above a certain caliber? A regular hunting rifle is deadly out to a few hundred yards
Is it a certain amount of rounds in a magazine? Because you can just bring more magazines.
Is anything semi-automatic dangerous? You can still put a hole in a target just fine a bolt-action rifle.

Honestly, I think the best possible thing is very, very strict background checks for buying anything other than a hunting rifle. If you want an AR-15 and 30rd magazines, you should have to see a mental health professional as a part of your background check. And private transfers should be as well-monitored as guns from a gun shop.
