The term gun safety is just another term for gun control. And the only people gun control measures control are law biding citizens. Gun control will never regulate a lawless citizen who is hell bound to commit a crime.

It's dishonest to reframe the issue as "gun safety" when what is clearly meant is "gun control." The general population is abhorrently ignorant of laws already in place. I find it disturbing that so many people are afraid of an inanimate object rather than the person wielding the object.

Irresponsible people wont pay any attention to them while responsible people already practice them.

This probably wouldn't be an issue if the gun laws that were already on the books were enforced. There is no "gun show" loophole as promoted by the media. Enforce the laws we have and keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill via "honest" background checks. Don't punish the law abiding citizen.

there is an agenda to disarm the populace and the media and the democrat party are one and the same, so the subject gets air time and propagandized

Gun control only hurts honest citizens, it does nothing to stop criminals. Chicago has the the most strict gun controls and has the highest gun violence. More good people with guns, yes in schools to stop bad people from killing, period. All these school shooters could have been stopped. Strength.

When will the liberals...Democrats understand that this is a people problem not a gun problem? If someone wants to do harm, they will get a gun and of course will not follow any law. Start holding people accountable, bring back drug laws and uphold the police!

Are you kidding? Oregon has made it very hard to purchase a firearm with a law that is so poorly written a 5th grader would blush. It's pathetic and one more example of unconstitutional BS from Oregon.

Gun control does not mean "they" are going to come and take away your guns. If you buy and register your guns properly and lawfully, there should be no reason for "them" to take them away. Regulate what can be sold, yes. You don't need an AK or AR to hunt with.

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

If it is a law and you break it regardless of what it refers to that is breaking the law- which by definition is criminal. If you put your pet in a situation that is unsafe that is your responsibility and ergo you are a bad pet owner. Pets are like our kids, it's our job to keep them safe.

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?
