'Blatantly unconstitutional': Strict gun control law faces new NRA-backed legal challenge

One of the strictest gun control laws in the nation is facing a new National Rifle Association-backed legal challenge as a federal judge prepares to decide whether to delay the measure's implementation.

Two former Oregon lawmakers, a sporting goods store, the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and the Oregon State Shooting Association — the NRA's state affiliate — filed the lawsuit Thursday, arguing the voter-approved Measure 114 places "severe and unprecedented burdens" on those seeking to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

"Oregon’s Measure 114 is blatantly unconstitutional," Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF’s senior vice president and general counsel, said in a statement provided to Fox News.

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Imagine that, the NRA actually doing something, other than buying  $600 suits.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

This is such a stinker of a law that clearly the state wasn’t ready to implement that the State’s Attorneys Office is asking the Federal judge to put a temporary stay on implementation of the law but not to strike down the law on its merits.

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Here lies in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS THE PROBLEM...NOT THE SOLUTION
