SECOND
SECOND AMENDMENT RALLY IN SALEM TOMORROW.
TOMORROW.
TOMORROW. SO WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
AND SPEAKING OF THE SECOND
AMENDMENT, THE OREGON HOUSE
JUST PASSED SOME NEW GUN
LEGISLATION AFTER LAWMAKERS IN
BOTH PARTIES RECEIVED THREATS
OVER THIS.
OVER THIS. >> ALL RIGHT .
FIRST HERE'S WHAT SENATE BILL
FIVE FIFTY FOUR DOES.
IT WOULD REQUIRE OWNERS TO KEEP
THEIR GUNS LOCKED UP WHEN
THEY'RE NOT USING THEM.
IT WOULD ALSO BAN CONCEALED
CARRY GUNS FROM THE STATE
CAPITOL AND IT WOULD LET PUBLIC
SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES BAN THEM
FROM THEIR CAMPUSES IF THEY SO
CHOOSE AND BE UP TO THEM.
THE BILL WAS GOING TO LET
CITIES AND COUNTIES DO THE SAME
THING BANNED CONCEALED CARRY
GUNS FROM THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT
BUILDINGS BUT IT GOT AMENDED
AND NOW THAT PART'S OUT.
SO NOW IT'S SAFE TO SAY PRETTY
MUCH ANY GUN BILL ENDS UP BEING
CONTROVERSIAL.
CONTROVERSIAL. RIGHT .
RIGHT .
RIGHT . WE KNOW THAT.
BUT THIS HAS DEFINITELY
ESCALATED.
ESCALATED. AND LAST WEEK DEMOCRATIC
REPRESENTATIVE RACHEL PRUSAK
RELEASED A STATEMENT SAYING
QUOTE I WAS MADE AWARE THAT
SEVERAL FLIERS TARGETING ME
WITH ANTI SEMETIC STEREOTYPES
AND HOLOCAUST IMAGERY WERE
POSTED IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY.
SHE WENT ON TO SAY THE HATE
SYMBOLS DISPLAYED WERE USED TO
ATTACK MY IDENTITY WHILE ALSO
ATTACKING MY COMMITMENT TO PASS
GUN SAFETY LEGISLATION THAT
WILL SAVE THE LIVES
OF OREGONIANS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE, SHE SAID.
POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING THIS
AND NOW WE ASKED REPRESENATIVE
PRUSAK FOR AN INTERVIEW BUT WE
WERE TOLD SHE'S UNDERSTANDABLY
TRAUMATIZED BY THIS EXPERIENCE
AND SHE FRANKLY DOESN'T WANT TO
TALK ABOUT IT.
WE GET IT.
BUT ANOTHER JEWISH LAWMAKER,
REPRESENTATIVE DAVID GOMBERG
DID WANT TO TALK TO US ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED.
WHAT HAPPENED. THE CONTEXT HERE IS FIREARMS
LEGISLATION BUT LET'S BE VERY
CLEAR.
CLEAR.
CLEAR. THIS IS NOT ABOUT GUNS.
THIS IS ABOUT THE EDLT RIGHT ?
THIS IS ABOUT EXTREME WHITE
SUPREMACISTS.
SUPREMACISTS. THIS IS ABOUT ANTISEMITE ISM
ALL HIJACKING THE CONVERSATION
AND TRYING TO INJECT BIGOTED
IDEAS AND MOTIVES INTO
LEGITIMATE POLICY DEBATES.
AND WE SHOULD BE VERY CLEAR
THAT THIS IS A THREAT WHEN WE
SEE POSTERS AND FLIERS BEING
DISTRIBUTED IN THE COMMUNITY
THAT THAT CALL OUT ONE OF OUR
MEMBERS AS BEING JEWISH BUT
THEN ALSO PUT IMAGES OF HER ON
THE POSTERS WEARING A STAR
DAVID WITH THE WORD JEWED
PRINTED ACROSS IT.
ANYONE WITH AN UNDERSTANDING
OF OUR HISTORY UNDERSTAND THE
CONTEXT, UNDERSTANDS THE
MESSAGE, UNDERSTANDS THE NATURE
OF THE THREAT THAT'S BEING
ISSUED HERE AND BASED ON THE
DESCRIPTION, BY THE WAY, YOU
CAN UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE NOT
SHOWING THAT POSTER ON TV THAT
SAID PROZAC IS NOT THE ONLY ONE
WHO HAS BEEN THREATENED OVER
THIS GUN BILL.
REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE SAY
THEY GOT THREATENING EMAILS TOO
EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE AGAINST THE
BILL.
BILL.
BILL. THE
BILL. THE REASON THEY DIDN'T WALK OUT
TO STOP THE VOTE.
>> SO HERE'S A GOP SENATOR BILL
HANSELL TOLD DAD EARLIER THIS
MONTH WHAT LIFE THREATENING
THIS WOULD BE.
>> YOU NEED TO BE SHOT I THINK
WAS FOR VOTING FOR FOUR OR
FIVE.
FIVE.
FIVE. I
FIVE. I THINK THAT WAS THAT ONE.
THEY WERE NOT VERY POLITE.
THEY WERE IN SOME CASES PRETTY
VICIOUS IN NAME CALLING AND A
VARIETY OF THINGS.
SO WE'RE TOLD STATE POLICE ARE
INVESTIGATING THOSE EMAILS AS
WELL AND SOMEONE ALSO FILED A
RECALL PETITION
THE
THE SENATE REPUBLICAN LEADER FRED
GIROD BECAUSE HE DIDN'T LEAD A
WALKOUT OVER THIS GUN BILL
AND THE REPUBLICAN LEADER IN
THE HOUSE REPRESENTED CHRISTINE
DRAZON SAYS SHE HAS ALSO BEEN
TARGETED BY GUN GROUPS FOR NOT
WALKING OUT.
WALKING OUT. IT'S A BIG MESS.
SHE HAD A MESSAGE FOR THEM ON
THE FLOOR YESTERDAY.
>> SOME UNSCRUPULOUS
ORGANIZATIONS HAVE MISLED
OREGONIANS INTO THINKING THAT
LOBBYING ANY DEMOCRAT IS A
WASTE OF THEIR TIME, THAT
INSTEAD THEY SHOULD PUSH THE
EASY BUTTON AND CALL ON ME TO
DENY QUORUM.
DENY QUORUM. >> THEY WERE TOLD THAT INSTEAD
OF VOTING NO I HAVE AN
OBLIGATION TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW
BEFORE THE FINAL GAVEL DROPS.
THE PEOPLE WHO VOTE WITH YOU
TODAY, THE PEOPLE WHO VOTE
AGAINST SENATE BILL FIVE FIVE
FIVE FIVE FOUR B ARE NOT THE
ENEMY.
ENEMY.
ENEMY. >>
ENEMY. >> AND SINCE BY THE WAY THAT
BILL GOT AMENDED BY THE
