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
