VOTE
09.27.2024
While it seems unlikely that anyone who reading this would miss a vote, the reality is many gun owners do not register to vote or return their ballots.
We get it, it’s easy to conclude that it doesn’t matter, that your vote doesn’t count. In Oregon, where the Republican establishment regularly grovels to the ruling party and does its bidding, any thinking person might wonder what the point is. (Dennis Linthicum and a tiny handful of others being the exceptions.)
But it does matter. What has gone on in the last few months, and what is, no doubt, still to come, has demonstrated beyond doubt that the forces of the left will do absolutely anything to stay in power. And we mean anything.
We do know this; no matter what happens, Kamela Harris will not be running the country next year. The forces that elevated her from a boat anchor on the Democrat ticket to the “queen of joy” and our “savior” will not allow an imbecile to be in charge. While Biden’s incoherent ramblings are mostly attributed to his age and cognitive decline, Harris is simply a low IQ quota hire. Whoever was pulling Biden’s strings will be jerking Harris around like a marionette on amphetamines. America simply will not survive four more years of this.
If the President of the United States is the product of DEI who cannot answer a softball question from a fawning sycophant like Oprah Winfrey, with anything more informative than “I was raised a middle class kid” there is little hope for the Republic.
That’s why it is absolutely imperative that you vote in this election. We know, Oregon’s “vote by mail” system is a breeding ground for fraud and failure. Any small sorting error at the Post Office could make your ballot disappear or be delivered to someone else. Recent events have proven that Oregon’s system for registering voters by the DMV is the natural habitat for scams. And we don’t know the half of it.
But it’s those very sad realities that make it all the more important that your ballot be completed and returned in the safest possible way to your county elections clerk. And please, do not wait till the last minute. We have not seen the last of the left’s shenanigans. If it looks like the election is not going their way, there is no end to what kind of mysterious and unexpected “technical problems” could make your ballot and your vote evaporate.
So please get your vote in as soon as possible and make sure it’s counted.
As you know, we are in the midst of multiple lawsuits trying to protect what is left of our gun rights and doing the job elected Oregon Republicans won’t do. Work is going on to prepare for the next step in our lawsuit against Oregon’s ban on personally made firearms, the state case against Measure 114 will be before Oregon’s Appeals Court next month, and our Federal lawsuit against 114 continues to wind its endless way through the Ninth Circuit, which will do all it can to delay a ruling in hopes of another Democrat administration to stack the Supreme Court against us.
Let’s face it, the dice are loaded against us in court. Across the country in firearm’s related cases judges are openly defying the rulings of the Supreme Court to reinterpret black letter law in an effort to squash gun rights. The judge in our Federal case against Mz 114 flipped the Supreme Court’s direction on its head by requiring our side to justify modern firearms when the Court had made it clear that it is the state’s job to justify its restrictions.
What was once “lawful purposes” is now “lawful purposes for self defense.” A limiter invented by lower courts to derail the Supreme Court’s clear directions.
“Dangerous and unusual” has become “dangerous or unusual.” “In common use” is being contorted into “common use for self defense,” a word game that opens the door to ban virtually anything.
But these battles simply must be fought and they must be paid for. We are very grateful for the generous support gun owners have provided to allow us to stay in the fight.
We could not do it without you. Please consider helping us continue to stand up for you against the anti-gun militants.

And please, make sure your ballot is returned and counted. If the forces behind Harris succeed you can bet our Supreme Court will be unrecognizable very soon.
