Boiling Point

In re the subject of today's AmmoLand piece, War on Guns Correspondent Florida Guy asks about statutory authority for enforcers to make arrests, and whether that could be a basis for things boiling over.

It looks like what Brown's Brownshirts will be deployed under is from Article IV  of the Oregon Constitution:
Section 12. Quorum; failure to effect organization. Two thirds of each house shall constitute a quorum to do business, but a smaller number may meet; adjourn from day to day, and compel the attendance of absent members. A quorum being in attendance, if either house fail to effect an organization within the first five days thereafter, the members of the house so failing shall be entitled to no compensation from the end of the said five days until an organization shall have been effected.
and this:
2013 ORS 181.050¹ Duty to enforce laws and regulations of agencies
The state police, with the approval of the Governor, may be called upon by any other branch or department of the state government to enforce criminal laws or any regulation of such branch or department. [Amended by 1971 c.58 §1]
Noting how, like a typical tyrant, Brown disregards laws she opposes (including and especially "the supreme Law of the Land"), I'd say things could still boil over.
