Oregon Measure 114 is on the ballot, and it’s shit 
An explanation of the onerous and fucked up requirements of Measure 114
Who is behind all this? Lift Every Voice Oregon, who got the necessary signatures to put it on the ballot
These “common sense measures” are gonna make a dent in gun violence
Naturally, like basically all gun control, cops are exempted. Despite the fact, of course, that they themselves are extremely violent actors that don’t keep people safe
Strict gun control? Loose gun control? Doesn’t seem to have much correlation to the homicide rate
Gun control will be a tool in the toolbox of cops and the state to disarm the most vulnerable people in our communities
We aren’t gonna tell people to vote, because that’s not who we are. But know that this measure will make it hard for poor, queer, and BIPOC people to arm themselves. If other gun control measures are an indication, this measure won’t have any effect on violent crime.
