1. Anti-gun Senator Ginny Burdick has filed an initiative that does the following:
* Allows the State to retain a record on all firearms sales (including private sales)
at gun shows for a maximum of five years.
* Expands background checks from only licenced dealers at gun show to anyone who
sells a firearm at a gun show
* Places a Class A misdemeanor penalty on anyone convicted of violating the
requirements of her law.
* Places a Class A misdemeanor penalty on gun show promoter who fails to post
notice of requirements of her law.
Would you vote for this initiative? [ ] Yes [ ] No
2. Oregon Gun Owners has considered filing an initiative to Senator Burdick's
proposed initiative. Our initiative would have the following components:
* Would extend the background check requirement to all sales at a gun show, but...
* Forbids the State from keeping records of firearms sales on anyone who is
cleared during a background check. Requires immediate destruction of such
record and calls for penalties for failure to destroy.
* Forbids the charging of a $10 fee to conduct a background check. Currently
the state charges $10 for the cost of running the check. OGO's initiative
would force the general fund of the State budget to pay for the operation
of this check system.
* Allows individuals wth a valid concealed handgun licence (CHL) to be exempt
from a background check.
* Increases penalties for committing a major crime while in possession of or
using a firearm.
* Grants immunity from civil lawsuits to gun owners who run a background check
on a potential buyer.
Would you vote for this initiative? [ ] Yes [ ] No
3. If you answered no to questions 1 and 2, should Oregon Gun Owners aggressively
oppose Senator Burdick's initiative or remain neutral?
[ ] Oppose [ ] Neutral
We thank you for your answers to these very important questions. This is going to
be a watershed election cycle for gun owners. Your help and involvement, now more
than ever, is vitally important. (Over Please) .
