HB 2005 Lawsuit
07.17.2024
In 2023, Oregon Republicans greased the skids to pass one more attack on your rights and property with HB 2005.
HB 2005 outlawed the possession of constitutionally protected, personally made firearms.
The law is, as you would expect, a convoluted mess that a careful reading will demonstrate, makes no sense.
After helping the Democrats pass the bill, the Oregon House Republicans, in a cynical and disgraceful display of bait and switch, posed on the Capitol steps with a giant fake check that they said was going to be used for a lawsuit against the bill they had just helped pass.
The money that check represented was collected from the PACs of the various House members.
As you know, the Republicans were lying. There was never a lawsuit and as far as we know, none of the House Reps whose money was grifted from them ever got it back. But that’s their problem.
Our problem was the bill, and the Republican’s part in passing it and their con game about fighting it in court.
Well we have some good news. It appears there actually will be a lawsuit and not from the duplicitous Republicans.
Firearms Policy Coalition has announced their intention to fight this plainly unconstitutional law.
They are currently seeking Oregon residents who could be plaintiffs in the case. This could be the fight so many have been waiting for.
If you, or someone you know wants to be considered to be a plaintiff use the following link for more information.
