re: Oregon will be voting to make hunting, fishing, and raising livestock stock illegal

There's still a lot of god fearing folk out there in Oregon, may not seem like it.

Oregon is what happens when an outdoorsy area gets overwhelmed with transplants from California.

My job puts me in contact with multiple people from the PNW that moved to the south. From what they tell me, everything is run by Seattle and Portland in their respective states and if you aren't there your opinion basically doesn't matter.

They've killed some major industries in those states. Everything that happens is someone in the cities saying "well yeah this sounds great" and it gets passed. Nothing is looked at beyond surface level, which is also true in most areas, but there is zero pushback on anything.

What the Measure Would Do
IP28 would remove long-standing legal exemptions from Oregon’s animal cruelty laws, meaning:

Hunting and fishing (sport and commercial) would be classified as animal abuse.

Trapping for pest control or wildlife management would be illegal.

Livestock farming and ranching would be banned, including breeding, milking, dehorning, docking, and artificial insemination — all of which would be labeled “sexual abuse” under the measure Yahoo+1.

Scientific research involving animals and rodeos would also be prohibited.

Tribal subsistence and ceremonial hunting/fishing would be banned.

Well without the need to hunt it essentially waters down the need for a 2A.

You might want to read the 2A again.

I hunted my whole life with a single shot bolt action rifle.

You don’t know what single-shot means. It’s either single-shot or it’s bolt action, they’re not the same thing.

You don’t need an AR with a 30 round clip.

It’s called a “magazine”. A clip is what you see on Band of Brothers when they load rounds into the top of the gun and the last shot when the gun goes empty it makes a PINNGG sound

The first thing that caught my attention.

if so I doubt the issue is settled. But alarming nonetheless

quote:

the 2A applies

They can ban legally taking animals without being in violation of 2A.
