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.
The sound of a gun will send people running even if you don’t shoot them. Watch the video linked at the bottom.
You should never blindly fire a firearm. That’s the first rule of gun safety. I’m not watching a video promoting unsafe firearm practices. You’re part of the problem if you’re promoting blind firing a gun inside your house or anywhere. Buy some firecrackers and pull a Home Alone if that’s your desired effect, not a firearm.

It wasn’t a blind fire, you’d know that if you watched the video. ;)
3 guys kick down a door and break into a house.
They wander into a bedroom where the homeowner is.
Homeowner fires multiple shots.
The three dudes shit themselves and flee in a panic.
So, again, the number of shots needed to bring someone down isn’t necessarily the same as the number of shots needed to end an encounter, and ending the encounter is the most important part. You don’t have to drop someone, all you have to do is convince them to re-think their life choices.
Sooooo a firearm was a tool used to defend their home. Because the homeowner knew their target. One of four basic firearm safety rules. Huh.
Their intention was not to “create sound.” Aren’t you proving my point? A well armed homeowner successfully defended their home? Nobody should EVER use the sounds of gunshots to deter anybody from any action. It’s irresponsible and an unsafe firearm ownership practice. Period.
It’s people like you who jeopardize the Second Amendment Rights of responsible firearm owners all across this country.
No, what I’m saying is you don’t need to shoot someone 10 times to drop them when any sane person will start to flee after the first shot.
Focusing on “number of shots needed to drop a target” is a bogus metric. “Number of shots needed to end an encounter” is all you need.
By the math above, homeowner would have needed 30+ shots to stop 3 intruders. They didn’t. Not even close to that. Because the three intruders fled when met with force.
Great. You have one YouTube video to base an entire argument off of. Look of body cam footage of OIS, look up security camera footage of self defense shootings, learn something about the matter before you watch one clip on the internet before you come on here and advocate for lethal noisemakers. No duh people run from gun fire. There are also countless court cases and documented investigations where a single person continued to assault an individual after taking 40+ rounds to vital organs throughout their bodies.
Can you predict the future? Do you know what kind of person is going to break into your home? Is that person of a sound mind? Is that person high on some substance that takes them so far out of reality and their body it’s as if they have super human strength? The answer is you don’t know. Limiting these tools for responsible citizens endangers their lives. Again, I am for gun control. But responsible gun control that is thought out and not implemented out of fear mongering and panic voting.
There are more, many, many more. Again, you don’t have to kill someone to stop an attack.
Why? People are scared of gunfire, it’s really that simple.
