Just saw this, didn't see anyone posting it here.
Oregon now has a ballot initiative finalized for the total ban of AWBs making them and hi-cap mags illegal and felony possession of same. A cursory review appears to offer few options - register, surrender, destroy, or remove from the state.

Folks this is getting real... the fight is literally right here.
I cannot understand or wrap my brain around how this passes any Constitutional scrutiny at the state or federal levels. It's a clear violation of the citizen's state and federal gun rights, and property rights (illegal takings clause).
Oregon Constitution, Art 1, Sec. 27
Right to bear arms; military subordinate to civil power.
"The people shall have the right to bear arms for the defence [sic] of themselves, and the State, but the Military shall be kept in strict subordination to the civil power[.]"
Also, this directly effects you if you travel to Oregon. If you're caught with an AWB gun or even magazine, that's a FELONY, from my quick review. I'm not an expert on this so that's not legal advice, just raising the alarm of concern for this initiate and Oregon voters.
