Oregon: Boquist Gun Confiscation Bill Passes

So what if people called in and reported all the police officers? (Let me guess, exception for the special class?)
 
Oregon SB 719 A is the sort of "extreme risk protection order" that is being pushed in several other western states.

So... that Federal background check is irrelevant?
States have always had the option to be more restrictive than federal law.

There's no "calling in", you have to be a family member or LE, and then file a petition.

Here's the part of the law that would keep you from just filing on every cop in town:
SB719 said:
SECTION 2. (1) A law enforcement officer or a family or household member of a person may file a petition requesting that the court issue an extreme risk protection order enjoining the person from having in the person’s custody or control, owning, purchasing, possessing or receiving, or attempting to purchase or receive, a deadly weapon.
(2) An extreme risk protection order petition shall be heard by the court and issued or denied on the same day the petition is submitted to the court or on the judicial business day immediately following the day the petition is filed.
(3) The petition for an extreme risk protection order must be supported by a written affidavit signed by the petitioner under oath, or an oral statement taken under oath by the petitioner or any other witness the petitioner may produce.
. . .
(5)(a) The petitioner has the burden of proof at the ex parte hearing.
. . .
(3) A person who files a petition for any extreme risk protection order under sections 1 to 8 of this 2017 Act with the intent to harass the respondent, or knowing that the information in the petition is false, is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.

Eventually every state is going to have something like this- People seem to believe that the best way to combat domestic terrorism and violence is to police ourselves as we have a more intimate knowledge of a person and apparently their mindset. Unlike the FBI and other police forces however, by decentralizing power authorities don't need to wait for actionable events to justify seizure, they can just wait for the report to be logged and use that as the actionable event.

Not true in the case of 2A.

There is an excruciatingly important difference between 1A and 2A.

1A says "Congress shall make no law..."

2A days "shall not be infringed..."

So the first amendment is clearly scoped to the actions of the federal government.

The second simply says "don't screw with rkba".

Sadly, our judiciary appears not to be capable of understanding plain English.

They understand it just fine. You can tell by the cases that they decline that they know what the constitution says and would rather ignore it.
