Why should 3-4 countys tell the rest of the state what to do.

M-114 will do nothing to keep guns from the hands of criminals. M-114 only works to further prevent the law biding citizen from their legal right to purchase a firearm

Unconstitutional. “Assault Weapons” a term that the ATF has struggled to define and most modern countries define as select fire aka full auto. Red flag laws still let people drive vehicles, own knives and other deadly weapons. Blame the bad people not a piece of metal!

Shouldn't even be up for discussion. Move somewhere else if you are afraid of armed law abiding citizens.

All this measure does is it makes it harder for law abiding citizens to own firearms. No matter how hard we try to keep firearms away from those who shouldn't have them, those people will always figure out how to get them. I believe crime would be better deterred if open carry were legal.

Open carry is legal. Conceal carry without a permit is illegal.

Law empowers and gives carte blanche to police to decide who gets a firearm. Which means marginalized LGBT+ and POC will be denied in favor of right wing extremists. Would also increase policing in POC communities via magazine ban & also create a database that would target marginalized communities.

Measure 114 has several concerning components that likely violate the US constitution, cause an undue burden on the local police and is essentially a money/tax black hole.

It would be the toughest gun law in the United States and as well seen in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City and look at Australia. Tough Gun laws do not work I am not against the background checks, I think that religion needs to stay out of politics and use their money to spread Christianity

Government needs to stop trying to destroy our Constitutional rights. 114 is the Democrats means to deny guns to those that "don't pass our tests". Taking a shooting class is just another tax and has nothing to do with gun owning rights. It is not governments business to know who owns guns.

How about locking up criminals instead? They have no regard for a "Law" in the first place.

No absolutely not. The constitution is what it is to keep unconstitutional things like this from happening. 114 is in violation of the second amendment and would do harm not any good. It will not keep criminals from getting guns, it will hamper honest people. Backwards thinking.

Measure 114 is unconstitutional. It should never have made it onto the ballot.

When will people understand that the violence is a people probLem and not a gun problem. Until people are held accountable, charged and not realesed early or without bail, nothing will change. Decrimalizing drugs contributes to the problem. Too much liberal, left policies.

This made an error! I voted NO and it recorded yes! They shouldn't {and ALL} shouldn't be allowed on all public land because they do not follow rules! Dumping garbage, open flames during fire season, over extending time stay, etc. And now because of them our insurance is going up and land value goin

These people have had MONTHS of notice. Nobody ever told them it's acceptable to post up long-term there, so they shouldn't have planted their belongings out there if they have no way to move it. This sets a bad precedent if they're allowed to stay.

I can no longer use this area of public land for fear of walking into a homeless camp or being attacked by their "pets". This land is for all of us to use, not just the homeless.

Safety should be the biggest concern here. If these people are homeless, they can travel to another area to reside. Forest service doesn't always implement preventative measures. So this being one of the times they do. Its important to make sure it happens. Before there is anymore devastating fires.

They’ve had plenty of time to move. Why can the homeless trash/burn our beautiful forest? Tax paying citizens are only allowed to camp for 14 days! What about the homeowners rights near China Hat, they need to feel safe in their own community! This has gone on way too long and I’m surprised!

If you look at the Federal Regulations for camping on Federal land it states only 14 days. These people have over stated their welcome, they need to go and they have known about this for at least six months.

It is ironic the Bend Equity Group has filed a lawsuit to block the closure. Where is the indignation for the horrible environmental damage done by these campers who’ve violated the USFS long standing limit of a 14 day stay in a primitive camp site?

This has gone on too long. The forests near Woodside community and other neighborhoods need fire protection and protection from the homeless with guns and vicious dogs and the garbage left behind. The homeless have had plenty of notice.

This has been going on for way too long & it is ridiculous to postpone as they have known this needs to be done. The forest needs to be protected & these do gooders are too late to the game & so much time & money spent on homeless with ZERO results. We need DOGE. for Oregon!

The danger of fire starting in this area is incredibly high and impacts large subdivisions. It is mandatory to close this area for the safety of all. This should not be a place for camping to be allowed as it has been.

He should be FIRED immediately as he is the individual in charge of the entire department. He must set the standard of honesty and integrity for both staff and the Public. What type of leader is this? Why is this even being questioned? He faced charges in La Mesa, California as well!

How can he be trusted to be truthful in anything if he lied about even just this one thing? A man in his position shouldn't be lying about anything at all and the fact that he did makes him untrustworthy 100%.
