Yes but its only part of the solution. The left does everything backwards! When you take God out of America guess who people follow? When family values are discouraged, anarchy arrives! The un Godly act un Godly! These are the core issues and the left supports all these un Godly positions!

Government never solves problems I doubt they will get this right. Enforce laws and bring back death penalty with Public Hangings thats a good start

It won't make a dent until we have reasonable gun laws.

We cannot "solve" gun crime until we address the material inequity, the horrible healthcare system, and the alienation inherent to late stage capitalism. We also need to get rid of ALL weapons of war in this country.

They are NOT banning guns from EVERYONE. You can still own guns. But why do you need ARs and other large capacity guns? They are not taking our other guns away. They say "you can't have" so that is what you want?

The problem is that ppl buy and own weapons of war--weapons who's only purpose is to kill a lot of people quickly. Mental health is a separate problem.

Hmmm Oregon laws are exactly what the fed wants Weapons of War are not for sale anywhere in the US legally Unless you are one of the 1% who gets a permit to own one. Put away the Coolaid.

Only criminals do that not law abiding citizens so banning guns from everyone is not the answer

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
