Oregon – -(AmmoLand.com)- House Rep Cheri Helt, (R. District 54) rated “F” by Oregon Firearms Federation, has demonstrated her predictable ignorance and introduced a “bump-stock” ban.
You can see her proposed legislation here.
Use or transfer of a “bump-stock” will result in a $2000.00 fine.
The bill says : “Bump-fire stock” means a buttstock designed to be attached to a semiautomatic firearm with the effect of increasing the rate of fire achievable by the semiautomatic firearm to that of a fully automatic firearm by using the energy from the recoil of the firearm to generate reciprocating action that facilitates repeated activation of the trigger.”
Whatever you think of bump-stocks, any knowledgable gun owner knows that you can “bump-fire” a rifle with no modifications.
And a skilled person can fire, with an unmodified gun, about as quickly as with a bump stock.
So will Helt be fining people for having good reflexes?
This pointless legislation is just one more attack on gun owners and accomplishes nothing but create another avenue for the state to get into your pocket.
It’s tiresome that legislators feel the need to write laws about things they don’t understand just to amp up their political correctness street cred.
Please sent Helt a message that you oppose this pointless waste of time and attempt to deprive law abiding Oregonians of their rights and property. Please take action here.

We have to ask the simple question: How many supposed GOP are nothing more than democRAT/communists placed into the system to push their agenda of disarming the populace and driving this country into communism? How many are actually democRATS behind their lying/false statements? Politicians will say ANYTHING just to get their seat. Come on, we should know this by now. It doesn’t matter if they’re GOP or dems, politicians (2/3rds of which are former attorneys – let that sink in) they have been telling us what we want to hear just to get elected into a cushy job, set for… Read more »
“It’s tiresome that legislators feel the need to write laws about things they don’t understand just to amp up their political correctness street cred.” Oregon is my home. This statement rings true, particularly here, not only regarding gun-control but the really meaningful and scary stuff like PERS.
If the legislature faced up to the hard reality of what the very near future holds for our state (bankruptcy) they’d have to stop wasting their time with the feel-good policies they are pursuing.

Where is the nra on this? Oh ya, they support the ban.
Interesting video. That Jerry Mucilek is one filthy shooter. But seriously, a Republican jumping on the ban wagon?
