Background Checks for Nail-Guns in Oregon? Lawmakers Have No Clue What a Gun Is

This is exactly what happens when anti-gun lawmakers rush to sign laws regarding issues they know nothing about.  In what is being seen as an “oops moment” Oregon legislators are rushing to correct the language of a law that would classify a nail gun as a firearm, requiring a background check.
According to an article in The Oregonian, current Oregon law–written into law last month–defines a firearm as a device that “by whatever name known, which is designed to expel a projectile by the action of powder.” That vague description is problematic for obvious reasons. While most nail guns used compressed air, some use electric power, some use gas and others designed for fastening to steel and concrete use a powder charge. Legislators are currently working to amend the original bill. Thus far, the amendment (House Bill 3093) has passed the House with only a single vote against it.
If a nail-gun were classified as a firearm, every contractor in the state would be up in arms over this law, which is how every freedom loving American should act every time another gun law tries to threaten our 2nd amendment rights.
