text: I, serveral years ago, wrote an OpEd piece addressing the inadequacies in rural Lane County public safety support.  You certainly don't need to lecture me on this issue.  SB941 is directed at private sellers and is designed to be a deterrent to selling firearms without obtaining verification that the potential buyer is NOT an individual who is specifically prohibited from legally purchasing such a weapon.  When functioning as such a deterrent, it requires NO governmental actions at all.  With their decision to NOT enforce the law, Lane County has effectively removed that deterrent value.  Gary Crum
