just recieved this response from Rep John Keenan of Salem. thoughts?
Dear Mr. Hagberg:
First, thank you for your service.
I have to disagree with your interpretation of the bill. Quite to the contrary, it fortifies the Second Amendment by requiring written specificity of denial grounds based on a clear standard. As a lawyer who has appealed licensure denials in the past, I believe this provides stronger rights for potential gun owners.
I too swear to uphold the Constitution and I take that obligation seriously.
I think we produced a very balanced bill that provides enhanced public safety while also respecting and appreciating the Second Amendment.
GOAL also saw it that way.
Thanks for contacting my office. If you still have questions, I'd be happy to meet with you.
Very best regards,
John
