A voter-approved Oregon gun control law violates the state constitution, a judge ruled Tuesday, continuing to block it from taking effect and casting fresh doubt over the future of the embattled measure.

The law requires people to undergo a criminal background check and complete a gun safety training course in order to obtain a permit to buy a firearm. It also bans high-capacity magazines.

The plaintiffs in the federal case, which include the Oregon Firearms Federation, have appealed the ruling to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The case could potentially go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

How many police and Nazis have you shot? Would you like to compare it to how many people neo-nazis and racist police have shot?

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

racist police

There is any other kind of police?

Yes, the ones that come after major reforms to training and accountability, that you haven't shot your way to, despite insisting that it's not just possible, but ideal.

ROFLMAO!

Do tell... how do you "reform" something that is working as intended?

[–] PoliticalAgitator@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's cool, we don't need to, because you're going to shoot the problem better with your guns, the moment you've finished letting the internet know how tough and cool you are.

Probably safe to leave it for a few more summary executions of minorities and domestic terrorist attacks trageting children though right?

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So your only "answer" to all of this is to render the targets of fascism even more vulnerable than they already are.

Just bog-standard liberalism, eh?

[–] PoliticalAgitator@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Love the gymnastics.

A Nazi and an "undesirable" are locked in a room together. You give the Nazi a gun, but somehow, magically, you haven't made their soon-to-be murder victim "more vulnerable". But if I say "stop giving guns to fucking fascists", I'm the one making people "more vulnerable".

Of course, it doesn't end there. When people ask you why the fuck you're always giving Nazis guns, your answer is "well the minority could have had a gun too, so they'd have been even, but only the Nazi asked".

But "evening the odds" by arming neither? Nope, that's unacceptable, the odds can only be evened with guns.

Sounds to me like you've been getting your opinions from racists and people who profit from gun sales and you haven't even noticed.

But if I say “stop giving guns to fucking fascists”

Except that's not what you're saying at all.

But “evening the odds” by arming neither?

You don't even seem to understand that you are arming fascists with your tax dollars, Clyde - you don't get a choice in the matter, either. Where the fuck do you think the white supremacist support group you optimistically call police get their arsenals from?

Who do you think does the dirty work of keeping a fundamentally white supremacist society fundamentally white supremacist?

The tooth fairy, maybe?
