Resolution 22-05 Concerning Oregon Measure 114

Oregon: The Libertarian Party of Oregon Public Policy Board announced Resolution 22-05 Concerning Oregon Measure 114, a resolution voted on by the elected Public Policy Board. 

This resolution declares:

Measure 114 is incompatible with the Constitution of Oregon, Article 1, Section 27 and the Constitution of the United States, Amendment 2; and

Measure 114 is poor public policy and runs contrary to Libertarian Principles; and

Measure 114 is poorly written, unfunded, and was unfairly presented to the voters.

“The Oregon constitution in particular is very clear on gun ownership and our constitutional rights as Americans but also as Oregonians, ” says Sonja Feintech, Public Policy Board Secretary at the Libertarian Party of Oregon. “The Libertarian Party of Oregon supports legal actions against what is clearly a gun grab, antithetical to the cause of liberty.”

This resolution includes:

The Libertarian Party of Oregon supports the legal action of the Oregon Firearm Federation and the Sherman County Sheriff against Measure 114 and the Libertarian Party of Oregon is authorized to submit an amicus brief in support of the lawsuit.

IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED  the chair of the Public Policy Board may designate individuals to speak for the Libertarian Party of Oregon to the contents of this resolution in the administrative rulemaking process for Measure 114 and before legislative committees considering revision, modification, or repeal of all or parts of Measure 114.

This Resolution will be available starting 2/20/23, for public dissemination. For more
