Didn't the governor send armed people to force the senators back against their will?

Well then....
Those pesky militia’s are threatening how we do business. Let’s disarm them and only let them have arms suitable for sporting purposes. We’ll ban bump stocks and silencers as a start. Eventually, we’ll go after the rifles themselves. We should really do something about concealed carry too since it isn’t protected according to Scalia. That way they can’t stand there mixed in with obvious people that aren’t armed. We need a way to identify them.

What kind of treats did the militia bring? Rice crispy squares, s'mores, candied apples?
Dupe, but I still think is is absolutely awesome!
Semi automatic rifles with standard capacity magazines it would seem. But for all I know the image I saw was from something completely unrelated which is what I have come to expect from the media.
If you check out the FuxNews link, there is NO source listed for the "militia threat" than..."Right-wing groups posted..." and "Oregon State Police...said it has been "monitoring information...".
There is no "evidence", as it were. "Fake" news? Fevered imaginings of a Cat-Lady Governor? Oregon SP cooking up a batch of "Orange Man Bad" followers as potential patsies?
Who knows? There are very few, if any, reliable and truthful "news" sources in this benighted country.
Dear FuxNews - linky, linky motherfuckers!

wish i would have saved the new blip i seen of this issue.. the DEMS did a walkout too and left the state a few yrs prior and the REB's didn't call the PoPo on them .. from what i seen
The democrats have gone completely renegade, by every single metric the Founding Fathers would be hollering with blue faces for the Miltia to bring that wretched party to heel.
Didn't the Democrats run away and hide years ago so the session could not be called?

The founders would have finished stacking the bodies decades ago. They would never have let it get this bad.
No they wouldn't have. Perhaps this is all a big democrat ploy to generate clean electricity from the Founding Fathers spinning furiously in their graves. You could wrap them in copper wire see then place them in magnetic coffins. Problem being that the democrats would have to continuously do objectionably insane shit.

I can't believe that the wife and I once talked about moving to Oregon. You would have to threaten us with a gun to do so now...oh, wait a minute....

Some reporters apparently didn’t believe Boquist’s implied threat, as they claimed in their news coverage that the threat was “thinly veiled.” However, the fiery senator stuck by his guns in an emailed statement to The Oregonian.

“Nothing thinly veiled,” Boquist, a U.S. Army veteran, wrote. “I have been in political coup attempts. I have been held hostage overseas. I have been jailed politically overseas … Not going to be arrested as a political prisoner in Oregon period.”
Boquist said that state troopers can only enforce criminal violations and arrest warrants, not force absent lawmakers to vote on an issue.

Good, an armed citizen militia is what I consider the 4th branch to maintain checks and balances.

If the militia showed up because some cows were getting rounded up, imagine what will happen when it's conservative legislators....
