While
Oregon Democrats stood with Gabby Giffords and the Brady Campaign to
Prevent Gun Violence to push expanded background checks on April 1,
Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer stood for the law-abiding citizens
whom the checks will target by describing the gun control push as
“borderline treasonous.”
Palmer also made clear that if the Democrats pass the measure there is zero chance of his office enforcing it.
Breitbart News previously reported that the push
for expanded background checks in Oregon is being spearheaded by state
senator Floyd Prozanski (D-Eugene). His efforts are strongly supported
by the Brady Campaign and Giffords.
Giffords, in particular, believes every
potential gun purchaser should have to pass the same background check
her attacker passed to acquire his firearm, which the same background
check Jerad and Amanda Miller (Las Vegas), Aaron Ybarra (Seattle Pacific
University), Elliot Rodger (Santa Barbara), Ivan Lopez (Fort Hood
2014), Darion Marcus Aguilar (Maryland mall), Karl Halverson Pierson
(Arapahoe High School), James Holmes (Aurora theater), Nidal Hasan (Fort
Hood 2009), and many, many others passed to get the guns they used in
their crimes.
The irony is not lost on Sheriff Palmer, who
sees the push for expanded background checks as just another way to
infringe on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens without
impacting crime or criminals. For these reasons, Oregon Live said Palmer
described the push as “borderline treasonous.
