I decided to start this petition, because I feel that pro gun Oregonians voices are not being heard. I think that petition 43 is a direct attack against the second amendment and I won’t stand for it. Unfortunately a lot of pro gun Oregonians, don’t have the luxury to take our protest to the streets and most of us don’t think we should have to protest, for the local government to hear our voices. By signing this petition you’re letting the local government know that you do not support petition 43 and that we will not stand for this attack against our second amendment rights. We are law abiding, tax paying, voting Americans and we demand that our voices be heard.



Thank you.

Seeing one hundred people sign this shows me that I am not alone in protecting our constitutional rights here in Oregon. This initial wave of support proves that many of us feel exactly the same way about our property and our liberty.

I have been reading your comments throughout the day and the stories you share remind me exactly why this fight matters for our families. While the local government remains quiet we are preparing to bundle these signatures to ensure they cannot ignore our position any longer.

Seeing this level of support confirms that so many of us feel the same burden regarding our basic rights. The momentum is truly growing and it proves that people are ready to push back against these overreaching policies.

Besides the obvious constitutional violations, 43 is too broad in scope. It labels virtually all modern firearms as "Assault Weapons". It will be a waste of resources and difficult to enforce, creating even more of a bureaucracy and waste.

I sign this because my house has been broken into 3 times. We have on camera the person who tried at my daughters house. The kid who did this is still out there. We won’t stand for people who decide they can break in. We will defend our house.

It’s sad that some people think this is going to help How will you the government keep us safe from the people that don’t follow the laws and already have guns I’m completely against this poorly written gun ban

I believe this measure is a violation of my second amendment rights and my right to defend my family. As a veteran, husband, father and grandfather, I strongly urge against the passing of this attempt to strip me off my rights!

No to 43. We have a right to bare arms. Horrible that this measure would classify most all hand guns an "assault" weapon.
