Dons testimony to the state opposing SB347

Annola DeJong
Judiciary Office Coordinator
503-986-1512
annola.dejong@state.or.us

Ms. DeJong works as the judiciary officer for the state of Oregon

Dear Ms. DeJong:

Please see that the following testimony is provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee for the hearing and work session tomorrow in these matters: SB347, 699, 700, 796

Dear Judiciary Committee:

I write in total opposition to SB347, 699, 700, 758, and 796; what have become known as this Legislature's Gun Control bills.

There is no compromise form or change of these bills that can meet constitutional muster other than their total rejection. They are in violation of our constitutional rights here in Oregon by operation of our Bill of Rights under Article I, Section 27. It is my belief if you all continue in these actions you will be making yourselves personal targets of those who reject slavery, love freedom and liberty, and have reserved unto themselves the power to insure they will stay free from the tyranny of governments, including our own. From my understanding of history today you have the choice to build your own personal Concord Bridge. If you do you will become the "Red Coats." Only this time the coats you wear will be stained with the blood of patriots you dishonor and reject. If it is to be, then so be it and may God have mercy on you.

As I reflect on these words, three American flags hang on my wall from those who served in time of war. Each was a Veteran of WWII and other places. One has a posthumous purple heart. If you proceed in any direction other than to kill these bills, you will spitting on the graves of these Americans and all others who have served at their peril as surely as if you were personally standing on those graves engaged in that act.

To let these bills get to this point you collectively have shown a lack of integrity as oath givers and a willingness to consider compromise of those fundamental rights guaranteeing our freedoms. I can think of nothing more degrading to you collectively, or personally.

More sincerely than you can begin to possibly understand

Don W. Leach

Explosions rock Boston Marathon as gun control agenda begins to peak.

About four hours into the Boston Marathon an explosion near the finish line caused chaos. About twenty seconds later it was followed by another blast.

At least 23 people were injured and 2 were left dead after the two blasts at the marathon. A small time later a third blast was heard and it is presumed that it was detonated intentionally by police officers on the scene.

This is a tragedy that will cause great debate on whether or not it was preventable or as some will say, there was no way to predict or avoid the situation.
One thing is certain. This will cause a great number of politicians to try to figure out what laws they can pass to prevent this type of tragedy from happening again in our great nation

I do not believe that the kinds of restrictions and controls that we (our government) are trying to implement across our nation are helpful to slow or stop crime. Whether it is gun crime or not.

This is certainly not the scene we expected to see at the finish line of the Boston Marathon with thousands of people still to cross the finish line.

My heart goes out to the injured, the dead, and their families today. My appreciation goes out to the law enforcement and the medical professionals that were on the scene and were able to help.

As we (our government) are saying that more gun control will stop school shootings, and limiting magazine size will kill less people. Background checks for ammunition and no guns that we can shoot rapidly, why don't they just pass a law that would make it illegal to make and detonate bombs?

With all the violent crime and robberies to help criminals support their drug habits, why don't they pass laws to make the sale and use of methamphetamine and heroin illegal to stop all of the use and crime created by that?
Laws that only affect law abiding citizens are not good in any form. The new proposed gun laws will only disarm law abiding citizens, not criminals.
While we have terrorism on our soil and North Korea issues heating, is it such a good idea to take the guns away from the people that would defend themselves and our country.

While some acts are harder to avoid, why make it harder to avoid such acts. Let the American people defend themselves and others, and try to put a stop to things such as school shootings by arming our patriots. Not disarming them.

Texas school stabbing, New York Gun confiscation Watch out America

While I focus on my rights and freedoms, I try to keep up on everyone elses as well. And it does not look great from where I am sitting.
While it is easy to see that some politicians feel compelled to protect us from ourselves, I can not help but ask myself over and over, "Why does the government want to take away our ability to defend ourselves?".
The answer is simple. "CONTROL". The United States government does not really care about a small number of people being executed (Some politicians truly believe they will stop this from ever happening again).

http://www.ammoland.com/2013/04/new-york-gun-confiscation-underway/#axzz2PzplhjSj
http://www.2ampd.net/Articles/Mortellaro/jm02.htm
I was planning on writing about the cases I have been introduced to regarding the confiscation of guns in New York when my wife called me to tell me about the stabbing at the school in Texas. Lone Star College's CyFair campus had an incident this morning where a 21ish male (presumably student) went on a stabbing spree. There are 14 injuries related to the incident and two of those are critical injuries.
http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/09/justice/texas-college-stabbing/index.html
I can not tell you how much this worries me. It is hard enough with all of the restrictions that some states have implemented and others are talking about.We even have some of our gun right lobbying groups pushing gun control. With this and the recent China school stabbing at the time of the Sandy Hook shooting that left 23 students injured http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/24/world/asia/china-school-knife-attack I worry increasingly about the stripping of our rights, our tools, and our means of defense.
The way our government works, this should be enough for them to start a knife ban. Where should we start? High capacity knives? Knives that are more than 12 inches? Should we implement a requirement for a license to conceal a knife in our pocket. I imagine that we will soon hear that knives should not be allowed in school zones and that Americans should not own knives.
I have talked to many people/democrats that say it is not comparable.
I call Bullshit. they do not want to give up their knives. Ask them why.
Don't give up your guns
Don't give up your rights

Let me tie this together by saying that I do not plan on registering my knives, and I am sorry New York, but don't plan on taking them from me. I love my knives and you can not have them.

P.S. that goes for my guns too.
and my freedom of speech
and religion

Traitors to the state. Enemies Within. HB 3200, SB 347

The following is testimony written in March for House and Senate bills coming up to be heard on issues involving our gun rights on many levels. I encourage you to read Dons letter, and to write, email, or call your senators and representatives.

503.986.1512

Testimony in the matters of HB 3114, 3200, and SB 347, 699, 700, 758, and 796

Cover Letter

Dear Ms. DeJong:

I appreciate the opportunity to address the above House and Senate Bills. My advance apologies for spelling and grammar issues. In defense; I am a product of the public schools systems in Oregon and simply did not have enough time to have an editor work magic.

The short version of the following missive is that each and every one of these bills is a violation of my constitutional rights set forth in the Oregon Constitution Bill of Rights with a focus on Article I, Section 27.

I state/declare I believe the authors/supporters of these bills are in the actual commission of the crime of Treason engaging the process as they have. I have supported that position throughout this testimony as I have in the past. See Endnote[i] for a representative example.

I understand the first real audience is the court system if any of these bills should pass. I also understand in matters of fundamental and inalienable rights the ultimate real audience is the responsible population of the state of Oregon.

In my submissions to the last group of such bills in the 2012 Legislature insiders told me the legislators who submitted SB 1500, 1501 and 1596 (? - Peter Courtney) were personally offended by my submissions. I too was personally offended. It offends my core belief in our system of government when legislators take oaths of office and then blatantly violate that oath.

With that said, what this testimony is not about are the Ds or Rs. What this testimony is about the duty of the Ds and Rs to protect me, my family, my friends. And they have deliberately failed to do so by their failure to appropriately fund our sheriffs in Oregon.

What is worse, reprehensible, vile, and evil, is that in violation of the protections guaranteed to me, and in violation of their oaths of office these legislators have began to engage a process that could lead to circumvention of said protections belonging to me and generally to the citizens of the state of Oregon.

I find myself getting exercised in writing this cover letter. It should be enough to end this with my assurances my intentions are noble and in appreciation for what you do. If I have failed in some way in the process of this submission, please let me know.

A complete copy of this submission is available at: http://www.oregonconcealedlaw.com/Oregon-Concealed-Law-and-Politics-d18.htm. There click on the red March 2013 Testimony to the State tab.

Most sincerely and respectfully,
