Oregon ivory ban bill puts gun and knife owners in undefined legal danger

Bill author Haas could not define how you measure volume-based content on a gun (or on a piano), nor was a "legal" way for documenting an item predating 1976 specified. Again Haas deferred, saying that would be "up to law enforcement." [More]
This morning's Gun Rights Examiner report notes just because an incompetently-written ban contains laughable absurdities doesn't mean citizens found in violation will see the humor.

Good thing they didn't ask him if the volume would include just the metal and polymer bits, or if it should be measured as though the thing were a blue training gun. He'd really have blown a mental gasket....
