Senator
Ginny Burdick (D. Portland) discusses her feelings
about lowlifes from other states being allowed
to carry firearms in Oregon. (Burdick
is, sadly, still haunting the halls of the Capitol.)
Former
Representative (and U.S. Attorney
Governor wannabe) Kevin ("I have a problem
with the truth") Mannix (D. then later
R. Salem) attacks Gun Owners of America from
the safety of the House Floor. (Using a script
prepared by "Oregon
Gun Owners." )
("Oregon
Gun Owners" provided this script
to all anti-gun legislators. Several used it
to attack gun rights during the floor debate
on this billl.)
(Mannix
is
a twice failed candidate for governor.
It's interesting to note that virtually everything
he says in this clip is false. What's even more
interesting,
is the bill to which he refers in this clip;
HB 2535 from 1999. This was a gun control bill
he went to great lengths to introduce and, as
you can hear, he carried it
on the House floor. When he ran for governor
in 2002, he actually claimed that he opposed
this bill! Bill Clinton would be proud.)
