OREGON GUN OWNERS EMERGENCY ALERT
By Carl F. Worden
Editor's Note: Carl Worden responds to an opinion article which appeared in the Medford Mail Tribune on September 12th, 2007, titled "Gun loophole should be closed - Guns don't belong in schools; lawmakers should take action".
You all know what an SD is, right? Well we’ve got an SD newspaper here in Medford, Oregon that has issued an editorial 9/12/07 calling on the Oregon State Legislature to enact a law that would prohibit carrying a concealed gun on any Oregon school campus, even if the person has a concealed gun license.
This whole unnecessary nonsense started when a woman teacher with a violent ex-husband obtained a restraining order against him, and the Medford School District officials called her into the office like some errant student and point-blank asked her if she was carrying a concealed gun, because they somehow found out she has an Oregon Concealed Gun permit.
She told them she did not have a gun on her, but after the meeting, she went rather public, seeking help from a prominent Oregon Gun Rights group that promises to bring a lawsuit against the Medford School District on the basis that existing Oregon Law specifically protects her right to carry concealed on school grounds if she wants to.
Now we’ve got this big brouhaha that never should have been made public in the first place. We’ve got news reporters reporting that there is a no-gun policy on Medford school campuses, letting every psycho out there know exactly where to go out in a blaze of glory by shooting as many kids as possible before police finally get there to stop him, because God knows nobody on campus will be packing – thanks to the intrepid work of the Medford Mail Tribune and its Publisher, Grady Singletary, and Senior Editor, Bob Hunter.
Can you tell I’m just fuming? You know, Rupert Murdoch just acquired the Dow Jones Corporation, and one of its subsidiaries happens to be Ottawa Newspapers, and Ottawa Newspapers just happens to own the Medford Mail Tribune. I strongly suspect that Singletary and Hunter were not real happy about Murdoch’s acquisition of their little dictatorship, and I think maybe Rupert Murdoch ought to know that.
In fact, the reason I’m sending this out to the entire national list is because we all have a stake in how this turns out. After one school and college massacre after another, you would think these politically correct pansies might have gotten the clue that a “Gun Free Zone” is an invitation, and not a deterrent, to a violent attack.
But no, they just don’t get it, mainly because they don’t want to. The editorial, which I will include following this rant, claims school killings are very rare, but anyone carrying a concealed gun on campus might have an accidental discharge, go Postal or some kid might somehow grab a concealed gun and start killing other kids just for the thrill of it.
What kind of sick, twisted and pathological people come up with this imaginary nonsense? First, it hasn’t happened, not once, and people go on Oregon school campuses all the time with concealed guns and nobody knows about it because the guns are concealed, get it? I happen to be one of them.
So these jackasses that run the Medford Mail Tribune, the Ashland Tidings and the Nickel weekly ad paper, who have a virtual monopoly on the printed news people get here, have taken a stand against guns on school campuses, and I think this is the grand opportunity we’ve all been waiting for to make it their last stand. How about you?
Just today, it was reported that Bill Sizemore, a renegade (hero) who runs a major political organization called Oregon Taxpayers United, got a sizable infusion of cash for his efforts to get voter-initiatives on Oregon election ballots. Perhaps he might be willing to get involved in this matter, since it would affect all concealed gun licensees statewide.
It is just simply ridiculous that I would have to park off school grounds and leave my Glock in my vehicle while visiting a local school, and nobody else should have to do that either. Give me a break: The very least likely citizens to ever do something stupid, let alone violent, with their concealed gun is a duly licensed citizen. The ones you have to worry about are the ones who cannot qualify for a concealed gun permit, and pack concealed anyway. It’s not like the rules school officials impose ever had any real teeth, so why would a person intent on making a bloody statement be deterred? Damn, these school officials are stupid!
Anyway Oregonians, we had all better start putting in calls, faxes and e-mails to the Oregon State Legislature right now. These idiots running the Mail Tribune have thrown down the gauntlet, and it is time we put them in their proper place – and that place would be the unemployment line in some nice spot like Anchorage, Alaska, where they can go unarmed to their heart’s delight in Big Bear country.
Our school kids need to be protected from these morons.
