Oregon State University’s College Republicans have celebrated the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution with a gun giveaway each year for more than a decade — and the club plans to continue the tradition this year, despite criticism that it is insensitive in the wake of school shootings.
CORVALLIS, Ore. — A controversy has sparked over the city of Corvallis’ proposed ban of loaded firearms.
At Monday night’s city council meeting, the Oregon Oath Keepers plan to protest the proposed ban because they say it violates individual city liberties.
The group says that veterans and second amendment supporters from all over Oregon will speak at the meeting.
The proposed ordinance would ban people from carrying loaded firearms in public places.
