Nearly 50 Oregon Gun Owners Have Their Firearms Seized by the State
Nearly 50 Oregon gun owners are the latest to fall victim to “extreme risk protection orders,” (ERPOs) otherwise known as “red flag gun confiscation laws.”
“At least 46 Oregonians have been ordered to surrender their guns under a new type of court order intended to stop suicides and mass shootings, law enforcement and court officials testified to state lawmakers [in September],” Oregonlive.com reported. “…Analysis showed judges ordered guns seized mostly from people affected by substance abuse, anger or mental health problems. Research presented to lawmakers indicates that trend has continued.”
Gunpowder Magazine has highlighted four scary facts gun owners should know about red flag laws:
1. Law-abiding gun owners are guilty until proven innocent under ERPOs.
These bills open the floodgates for vindictive family members, friends, or John Q. Public to accuse you of almost anything as justification to take your firearms.
2. ERPOs open up a Pandora’s Box of ways for cunning lawyers and conniving family members to exploit gun owners.
Red flag ERPO bills have been written so broadly on two fronts that in some instances, people are given near-endless possibilities by which to use the legal system to persecute gun owners.
3. The time frame for confiscation can go on for months.
ERPOs can last for weeks, months, or up to a year in cases where a gun owner would have to appear for repeated court hearings to try to win back his or her Constitutional rights. In some instances, the government would hold onto your guns for you; other bills have a neutral third party holding onto your guns.
4. Both political parties are supporting ERPOs.
Many would have you believe that Democrats are leading the charge for gun control in the wake of the horrific school shootings of 2018. But nothing could be further from the truth. Republicans are leading efforts as well.
Authorities seized more than 50 firearms from one Oregon county alone.
According to Oregonlive.com, “Responding to lawmakers’ earlier concerns that the gun-removal orders would be subject to abusive overuse by spurned exes or power hungry officers, Travis Hampton, the Oregon State Police superintendent, said those worries ‘have not borne out in the evidence.’”

The few can take everything away from all of us, the many if we allow it, inch by inch.
so are you advocating that Substance abusers and people with mental health problems should carry guns?
why not u are on here all the time and u are dumb as fuck should we take your voice away?
man thats funny 
You don’t seem to know your rights, except for the right to run your mouth in a negative way against other peoples rights! If we didn’t have our weapons, there would be no freedom! That would include “Man” from being able to make the very uneducated statement he made above!
I am a substance abuser with mental health issues and I own several guns. So, sure!!!
Man are You ever a blatantly extremely OBVIOUS LIEBRAL Troll !!! You have your Democratic head so far up your little liberal ass that you can’t even see straight !
Now you created 50 more lawless people. Just what you communist want.
Pretty soon we will all be declared the enemies of the State and the gun roundup will begin. Just what you communist want.
Well, got news for you. The *uck stops here. You will have awakened a sleeping giant. The American Patriot.
We beat the British, the Germans, the Japanese and now will nail your ASS to the wall as a trophy.
DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS!
Let’s face the fact that this is not about saving lives, or how guns are bad. It’s about a gradual creeping method of slowly eroding gun rights. It is the old frog in the pot trick. They take away rights a little at a time and make it sound as if they are doing society a favor, when in fact their goal is to weaken the people for a socialist take over. I hope under Trump this doesn’t continue, or the people themselves will have to demand it stop
