From what the gun shop told me is that you can't buy the completed magazine so they don't stock them. The same store had a 55 gallon drum of "parts" so you can assemble your own as the older ones were grandfathered in.
How stupid? The mags don't have SN on them. Who is to know if they are new or grandfathered?
Most plastic mags actually have a date stamp which might melt when out on a camping trip.

A decade ago.Oregon had some of the best gun laws in the country. We would meet up with our friends in OR to shoot cool stuff like SBRs and machine guns. A reminder that they will take your rights piece by piece. Oregon is also a mail in voting only state.

I came not surprised to see sheriffs refusing to enforce. Most of Oregon is not portland, also the entire eastern half of the state is next level rural. Both WA and OR have a good amount of 2nd amendment sanctuary counties. There has been a lot of civil conflict and street fighting in both states, more so in OR in recent years. I would not be surprised if something bigger kicked off, it has already reached the "shots fired" stage.

Don't you just love that sheriffs and other public officials get to decide what laws they will enforce and which ones they won't? That's how we get district attorneys that won't prosecute people that steal less than $1000 in merchandise from businesses. Kind of leads to the POTUS refuses to prosecute illegal aliens and other parts of his oath of office.

What is the point of having laws and elections if this is acceptable in this country?

That's 'cuz they don't want you to shoot at them when they come around to put you into whatever forced labor camp they think you'd be of the most benefit to them. There is no motivation other than this that fits.

All the more reason to exercise your Right to Keep and Bear Arms. When the government can't or won't abide the law, there is nothing to keep them from coming for you for their nefarious ways other than you being armed.

Just because something "is the law" does not mean that is is moral, for example slavery was "the law." In Canada "the law" says the government can take your kids is you are against genderl transitioning. I've lived where theft isn't prosecuted but "the law" says you get fined every week for having over 20lbs of garbage in your trashcan. Maybe "the law" is subjective...

The law is the law. If you don't like the law, then change it but it's not up to everyone to decide what laws they want to follow and what laws they don't. That is pretty much called anarchy and leads to lawlessness!

These men said it better than I could.

“One has not only a legal, but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.


“Unjust laws exist; shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavor to amend them, and obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once? Men generally, under such a government as this, think that they ought to wait until they have persuaded the majority to alter them. They think that, if they should resist, the remedy would be worse than the evil. But it is the fault of the government itself that the remedy is worse than the evil. It makes it worse. Why is it not more apt to anticipate and provide for reform? Why does it not cherish its wise minority? Why does it cry and resist before it is hurt? Why does it not encourage its citizens to be on the alert to point out its faults, and do better than it would have them?” – Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience
