You previously said "America" is becoming more liberal, now you've fine-tuned it to Oregon( Which is obviously predominantly liberal ). Let's see long the state stay's liberal if the legislature does "pass any gun legislation they want".  They won't because they want to get re-elected. As for California's new  gun laws,  a lot of window dressing, but you beat your chest if you like. Brown vetoed more gun related legislation than he passed.  Nothing more to add.
