Radian Weapons and Noveske Rifleworks are hosting a pro rights rally on March 23rd to protect the Second Amendment in Oregon.  Never before have we seen the level of hatred being expressed against law abiding gun owners, both by legislators and out of state billionaires, as we are seeing now.  So please come to show your support for freedom.

The rally will be on the Capitol steps starting at noon.

Radian’s website for the event is here.

The Facebook page for the event is here.

As you know, Oregon is facing some of the most totalitarian attacks on gun rights ever seen in America.  Please join your fellow freedom lovers at the Capitol to send a message to the petty tyrants who are trying to destroy your freedom.

The March Newsletter has been completed:

The downloadable file prints out to 4 pages, including the calendar page.

“Nowhere else in the Constitution does a 'right' attributed to 'the people' refer to anything other than an individual right.  What is more, in all six other provisions of the Constitution that mention 'the people,' the term unambiguously refers to all members of the political community, not an unspecified subset…  The Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms…  The very text of the Second Amendment implicitly recognizes the pre-existence of the right and declares only that it ‘shall not be infringed.'”

~ Antonin Scalia, U.S. Supreme Court Justice

GUN RIGHTS BY STATE
Here is an interesting map that shows which states have the most “freedom” in different categories as determined by the CATO Institute… The category shown is gun rights.  Click here to be taken to the website where you can see other categories.  Oregon's Democratically controlled 2019 Legislative Session could have our once great state dropping all the way down to #50 on this map.

LOST & FOUND
There have been several items found at the range lately.  If any of these items are yours, please call Wesley's Trading Post at (541) 265-4556 and provide a full, accurate description of your items to claim.  (December 16, 2018)

• Box of rifle ammunition.
