Written April 1st, 2025 by Hasso Hering

Democrats in the Oregon legislature are working on a bill intended to make it harder and more expensive to buy a gun. The most likely effect of their efforts is to stimulate gun sales again before the new restrictions take effect.

Written November 26th, 2022 by Hasso Hering

Written November 11th, 2022 by Hasso Hering

Now that a majority of Oregon voters has approved Measure 114 to infringe a civil right that the federal Constitution says shall not be infringed, I’m curious to see what happens next.
