Completely preventable problems in Oregon,
Shades of the mass non-compliance in Colorado, New York, and large amounts of Non-compliance in Connecticut...
Gun Control advocates out right LIED to the public to pass a almost totally unenforceable mandatory background check bill (that effectively outlawed target shooting with friends on your own property, what ever that has to do with background checks might I digress) But again, like in New York state, Many sheriffs in Oregon, are on the record of NOT enforcing the new law... Once again, we are seeing a population effectively nullify a law.
Once again gun control advocates have the thorny problem of enforcing a very poorly thought out law they ran thru using emotions instead of facts,, a law that really has no way of being enforced against anyone with half a brain in the first place, But hey, THAT IS THEIR PROBLEM.
Many FFL dealers are also refusing to "facilitate" the person to person background checks as well.
Now, like the New York and Colorado governor, they get to figure out how to enforce the law, when the "governed" refuse to be governed, and the "enforcers" are not going to enforce. And the "governed and enforcers" side by side, are holding up a middle finger right at the statehouse, while saying " Do something about it, it's YOUR move".
I think we are well past a point, where any further gun control is impossible, no matter what a man wearing a suit in a far off city says. If they can't even register more than 5% or more of the restricted guns in New York,
An interesting read in the Oregon press, a few excerpts...
"Several sheriffs in mostly rural counties — but not Lane County — have said they simply won’t enforce the law at all"
------------
In early June, the Lane County Board of Commissioners approved, on a 4-1 vote, an ordinance that declared the new law “an unfunded mandate” from the state. It said that the county “is unable” to spend “any county resources” on implementing or enforcing it.
On Monday, Lane County Sheriff Byron Trapp characterized that ordinance as a “statement of fact” rather than “a policy statement” that the county won’t enforce the law.
However, he added that the sheriff’s office has two-thirds the number of deputies it did in 2007, which means its focus is on crimes that “involve an immediate threat to a person or property.”
Enforcing SB 941 “doesn’t rise to the level of calls that keep my guys busy every day,” Trapp said.

Josephine County Sheriff Dave Daniel is on the record as saying:
“I can’t enforce that law, so therefore it won’t be enforced. It doesn’t fit on my scale of priorities. I have felonies going on daily in Josephine County. That’s my priority.”
Several other Sheriffs are on the record practically saying the same thing.
It is very refreshing to see people standing up for their rights by ignoring B.S. filled illegal laws. Gun Control advocates created this mess, I wonder how they plan to clean it up? Or will they just cry about "loopholes" that inevitably happen when you use emotions as a guide when writing laws in the dead of night? It's BS like this that is one of the BIG reasons that Democrats in political offices are almost extinct in most of the nation.
I wonder if Bloomberg's money can buy compliance? He is trying with 6 figures in Oregon....

I should have realized that. That is what I get for working too many hours 
Opposition to the background check expansion has been strong in Lane County, despite the area’s liberal political leanings. Two local Democratic lawmakers, Rep. Val Hoyle and Sen. Floyd Prozanski, were targeted for recalls by opponents of the policy.
We're told that a major litmus test for determining "true liberal" status is support of gun restriction measures.
