OFF Calls Boquist’s Response to Criticism of His Gun Bill ‘Mendacious’

Accusing representatives of the National Rifle Association and the Oregon Firearms Federation of not caring “about veterans blowing their brains out,” Oregon State Senator Brian Boquist warned both groups to watch what they say to their supporters, implying they are responsible for subsequent threats against his wife, OFF reports in a Sunday alert. “Today, she was one inch short of having the State Police up based on one of your members in front of her desk.” [More]

Maybe he feels guilty about betrayng people he'd encouraged and accepted support from and lashing out against them now is a defense mechanism?

Holiday Special

On the  communist holiday of “May Day” the Oregon Senate passed, on an almost party line vote, the Boquist/Burdick gun grab, SB 719A. Senator Betsy Johnson was the only Democrat voting “no.”  Boquist was the only Republican voting “yes.” The Democrats immediately issued a press release calling the vote “non-partisan.”  [More]

So give his seat to a Democrat next time.  To quote Hillary, what difference would it make?

A Potential Workaround

As we told you in a previous alert, gun bills are now moving in both houses. [More]

I think Sen. Boquist here is failing to see the full potential his repeal proposal if his main reason is "it's outdated."

By Invitation Only

Because it is invited testimony only, we can all expect the same red shirts and gun haters only, to testify on taking away your rights. They can forbid you from testifying, but they cannot keep you out of the hearing. [More] 

So "Republican" Judiciary Committee member Boquist won't extend an invitation out of spite or what?

What about Vice-Chair Kim Thatcher?
