🚨Ballot Measure 114🚨

***UPDATE***

We’ll plan on starting between 6:30 and 7:00 on Friday evening. If you have questions, drop them in the comments and I’ll try to read through those as we go!
______

I’m putting the finishing touches on our Answering Brief which will be filed Friday. I’m thinking about going live this weekend on this page for a bit to field questions.

Is that something people have interest in? It’s way easier than fielding individual questions.

If so, would Friday evening, Saturday before noon, or Sunday after Church work best for you? Obviously I want to answer questions not just yak to nobody 😅

🚨Ballot Measure 114 Alert🚨

We will be filing our Answering Brief this week, so stay tuned for alerts. We don’t need an extra week like the State Defendants!

This has been a massive undertaking consuming nearly all of the last 40 days for me. Between defending against the State’s motion to implement Measure 114 against you all and drafting this brief, we are running out of resources.

Please consider supporting the lawsuit that has kept you out from under the tyranny of the most extreme anti-firearm law in the country for the last 592 days here ➡️ www.givesendgo.com/StateCourt_StopMeasure114

We will post the Answering Brief HERE ⤵️ first.

🚨Measure 114 Update: Motion to Dismiss Denied🚨

I take “Based on all the circumstances present in this case” to mean “Because this case and the parties you moved against are too important.”

So the State got an extra week to prepare their opening brief despite having an army of DOJ attorneys, a small army of mercenaries at Markowitz Herbold, and millions of dollars at their disposal. We are, as we were at trial, at technical handicap based on personnel and funding.

Lucky for us, we’re used to going up against government officials who think they’re special. We didn’t beat them on the procedure, so now we’ll have to beat them on the merits.

This is just another chip on our shoulders!

Corrected Headline: Army of taxpayer funded attorneys fail to read the Court’s order setting a briefing schedule.

We are now working on our Answering Brief to the State’s lengthy Opening Brief while we await the ruling on our motion to dismiss.

Oregon Measure 114: Errors in trial transcript delay appeal of ruling that struck down gun control law The state said it had to wait to file its opening brief until errors in the trial transcript were fixed. The gun owners are urging the appeal be thrown out due to a delay.

I wonder if they’ve checked the background queue recently?!?!

Win or lose on the Motion to Dismiss, the fight goes on!!

🤔 Did you know that stalking protective orders can impact your right to purchase and possess fi****ms?

These cases are unfortunately brought too often by pro se litigants with bad motives such as disgruntled exes, former tenants, or former employees. 🛡️ When this happens, it can be a great benefit to have someone in your corner to defend your rights!

⚔️ Other times, you might genuinely need someone to help you get a stalking protective order for you or your family’s safety. When this happens, you may benefit from someone who knows the law and rules of evidence to be your advocate.

The courtroom is no place to be educated on your rights - give us a call if you have a stalking protective order issue!

🚨Measure 114 Motion to Dismiss Update🚨

Here is our Reply in support of our Motion to Dismiss - this is in Reply to the State Defendants’ Response and Objection to our Motion to Dismiss.

Not only do I think our position is legally sound, but I hope I’ve captured at least some of our shared frustrations with the State Defendants thinking they’re special in this Reply.

At a minimum, we are holding the State Defendants’ feet to the fire and taking the fight to them!

I’ll post the State Defendants’ Response in the comments for those who are curious.

Thank you all for your continued support!

🚨Measure 114 Update to my Update🚨

We received an email from opposing counsel today indicating that our motion to dismiss is unlikely to succeed.

We have been committed to transparency with everyone who is supporting this case. The ups and the downs, the good and the bad. So I wanted to do an immediate update with this new info.

Apparently the Court is saying that they suspended the timeline they set at Defendants’ request because Defendants wanted edits to the transcript (to be fair, the transcript was BAD). Both the order setting the timeline and the order allowing amendments to the transcript were entered the same day (4/12/2024)… and there is no indication in anything on the docket that the timelines were suspended. Therefore, I stand by our motion and we’ll see what the Court says. But if the Court says that the timeline was suspended, then we will lose that motion.

This is disappointing, but it does not mean that “the fix is in” or Defendants are getting breaks because they’re the state. It means that apparently the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing in the Court of Appeals and that the Court of Appeals failed to put on the docket anywhere that timelines were suspended… if that is indeed the case.

We’ll wait to see what the Court says, but in the meantime our eyes need to stay fixed on winning this case — whether by dismissal or on the merits — and winning in November.

🚨Measure 114 Update🚨

May 31, 2024: the State Defendants’ Opening Brief was due. The state missed that deadline. Therefore, we have officially moved to dismiss the State Defendants’ appeal and now await the Court’s ruling on that issue, Defendants’ Response (if any), and to see if the State Defendants file their untimely opening brief.

What does this mean?

First, it means the chief law enforcement officer in Oregon requested a short deadline, got a longer deadline, and still failed to meet it despite spending MILLIONS of our tax payer dollars defending this travesty of a constitutional infringement.

Second, it means that our win in the trial court will stand if the appeal is dismissed. This would be the official demise of Measure 114.

If granted, the federal court case would be moot. All involved will likely prepare for whatever nightmares the Oregon Legislature has planned for 2025.

Do I think the Court will dismiss the appeal? I’m not sure. Should they? 110%. When I see deadlines from the Court, I know that I am expected to meet them. Maybe Rosenblum and her army think differently. We will see!

They’re coming for us… Trump is just in the way.

And now we gear up for November.

There is no excuse not to vote in November’s election. We are down, but not out of the AG race. Putting ANYONE other than another corrupt Democrat in that position needs to be our goal. The one who is running that race is Will Lathrop and he has my vote.

Congratulations to Julie Hoy! The next Mayor of Salem. God Willing, we might see sanity prevail in Salem again.

MAKE SURE TO VOTE TODAY!

All ballots should be delivered to an official ballot box NOT mailed!

You should ALWAYS drop your ballot at a ballot box!

needs to hear a complete and transparent report about this issue from our Secretary of State:
1. How many ballots were held?
2. What was the chain of custody employed to secure those ballots?
3. How many post office branches were involved and in what counties?
4. When will those ballots be released?
5. What caused this delivery delay?
6. How will this issue be resolve in this primary election?
7. What will be done to prevent this and other USPS issues in the November election?

Oregonians deserve full transparency, especially when confidence in elections is at historic lows.

With the Opening Brief by Defendants-Appellants due date looming, we are making another fundraising push to keep this appellate case on track.

Thus far, most of our resources were spent obtaining the denial of stay sought by AG Rosenblum and her cohorts. If granted, that would have put the UNCONSTITUTIONAL Ballot Measure 114 in place during the appeal… meaning we would have been living under this tyranny for the first time. Instead, we made sure that stay was denied.
