Betsy Johnson served as a Democrat in Oregon’s State Senate for an excruciatingly long time, where she proved many times that she takes the Second Amendment more seriously than public safety or party loyalty.

Maybe they have a gun cellar instead of a wine cellar?

Isnt that the whole thing with the AR15 and the military version just having a few minor differences in notches that allow automatic fire, making it a machine gun?

5. The car crash she caused 9 years ago is coming back to bite her in the ass.

She tried to claim "legislative immunity."

6. Yes, I saw that story recently.

She really doesn't seem like a nice person.

7. She's one of those "take personal responsibility!" types

but that doesn't apply to her, of course.

[barbaraann]

8. Yup.

What kind of person yells about personal responsibility and doesn't believe the rules apply to them???

9. Our very own mini Manchin

I feel like we should be pointing out that any pro women's rights voters who choose to split off to support her are the very best chance that Anti-choice Drazen has of taking over management of the state.
