Oregon Gun Buyers Beware
I purchased a shot gun here at GunBrokers.com in November, had is shipped to my local FFL Dealer, filled out the necessary Gun Transfer Application, completed a background check in about 2 minuets. Transfer complete. Could not have been much easier. So I bought another gun, and it arrived at the same FFL Dealer on the 22nd. I went to pick it up on the 23rd but this time the transfer could not be complete because there were 2,200 people ahead of me waiting for the required background check. I am told that it could still take a month or more for the Oregon State Police to complete my background check - again. This is because of a new gun law that will probably be going into effect soon in Oregon. This has caused such a surge in background checks for gun transfer that the system in place for processing them cannot keep up. The result is that my gun has been affectively CONFISCATED ! And the FFL Dealer would be committing a crime if he lets me have my own property! What can I do? And I am only one of many thousands of people in Oregon in the same situation right now. The new gun laws will not even affect me or my guns - but the surge in background checks has in effect stopped all gun sales in Oregon for thousands of people like myself. You can buy a gun, but you can’t take possession of it in Oregon **at this time**. That is something the entire nation needs to be made aware of. -- at last check, there are more than 20,000 Orgonians waiting for background checks.

You are pushing the limits of this forum, Read the Guidelines for posting I feel for you, but there is nothing anyone here can do. You chose the FFL you are dealing with, I'd say you made a bad choice. Life lessons are sometimes hard. I will not close this post right now as maybe someone has an idea that will help you, but complaining about pretty much anything is against the rules, we let some things slide, however your issue has nothing to do with this forum or Gunbroker auctions, as I said the you the buyer, chooses the FFL.
Cancel all of my posts - thats fine with me. Delete my entire account if you like. GunBroker.com Sellers will no longer ship to Oregon anyway.

You seem like a good guy who is pizzed off about your current political situation, and I/we get it. However, this forum isn't a place to push your frustrations, especially about the auction side, the forums have nothing to do with that side. Try to chill out for the night and come back later. I like your passion, we need people like you on our side, but we all need to know where to use it...
