With the looming possibility of more bans at the state level (Burdick is in the pocket of the Brady Bunch and tried to ban any magazine over 10 rounds -- no grandfather clause), I've found myself worrying. It's almost to the point where I don't want to read the forums since it keeps brining up all these possibilities and worst case scenarios. I have been thinking of buying as many magazines as I can, but then if there is a ban over 10 rounds, all that money would be lost if I comply or I risk serious trouble if I don't. I kept thinking about this stuff 'til I made myself sick. I tend to worry to much about things I can't control as it is. I decided to take some of the money I would have spent on another magazine or whatever and donate it to the Oregon Firearms Federation and I suggest you all do the same. If everyone took the price of one magazine and used that to donate, we might be able to stop this assault on our rights. The last time around I was disappointed with my local NRA rep -- he promised to keep me in the loop and I never heard back. At least OFF seems to keep me informed. Doing this I at least felt like I had done something positive rather than just worry. |
| Every bit helps. If every black rifle owner sent even $10 that would be something and it doesn't even have to be OFF -- OSSA is another group (it is affiliated with the NRA). |
I think its just a mistake somewhere and your name got dropped from their mailing list. They did send out a few e-mails -- but remember the law now doesn't allow them to do very much during an election period -- God forbid that the electorate should get any information about the candidates other than that out out by the candidates! Just ask, and they will happily re-instate you on the appropriate lists -- even if you don't send them any money. Of course, as was pointed out at the beginning of this thread, the price of one magazine, which Burdick will happily steal from you, might help to make a big difference in the success of her renewed camapign. |
Whatever happened to sending your senator a letter?

Don't forget about the tax advantage of donating to OFF. Basically it's a wash, but instead of the state taking the money you can give it to OFF. www.oregonfirearms.org/offpac/index.html |
