It is imperative that you keep an eye out for your 2022 vote-by-mail ballot because this is one election you don’t want to miss, as the stakes for sportsmen and women couldn’t be higher.
Anti-gun extremists managed to get Measure 114 on the ballot touting it as just a background check measure. That is FAR from the truth. If Measure 114 passes, it will bring firearm sales of all handguns, rifles, and shotguns to a grinding halt.
The Oregon State Sheriffs’ Association AND Oregon Association of Chiefs of Police:
“This measure will divert local enforcement resources/first responders, by requiring local law enforcement agencies to create and fund a permit process out of local budgets. It will move scarce law enforcement resources away from protecting our communities to doing backgrounds and issuing permits. This shift in resources will put every Oregon community at greater risk for violence. PLEASE VOTE NO ON MEASURE 114-IT PUTS EVERY COMMUNITY IN OREGON AT RISK.”
The Sportsmen’s Alliance:
“After months of rioting, the Portland city council defunded the police to the tune of $15 million and eliminated 84 positions. Now, with rampant violent crime, homelessness, and drug use, gun-control advocates want to further victimize law-abiding citizens even more by making it impossible for them to purchase a firearm. Initiative 114 saddles underfunded, understaffed local law enforcement departments with creating and maintaining a complex and expensive system before any firearm can be bought for any reason – handgun, hunting rifle, or shotgun, it doesn’t matter.”
Oregon Hunters Association:
“The complicated, expensive, and impossible to comply with process for obtaining a “permit to purchase” reveals the real goal of 114 – to eliminate all gun sales in Oregon. We already require criminal background checks to purchase! Another redundant “permit background check” is completely unnecessary.”

Not only is it crucial that you vote in this election it is imperative that you pass this message to your family, friends, and fellow sportsmen and women as Oregon needs all hunters, shooters, and firearm owners to fight this battle!
