Seems like this is geared towards the secessionists in eastern OR
the exemptions for law enforcement, licensed security professionals, hunting groups, and self defense orgs are a nice touch. /s >


exemptions for ...

Oregon has a particularly large number of such groups for whatever reason. The bill which received a hearing:

HB 2572 would expand the definition of illegal paramilitary activity in Oregon and would allow the attorney general to petition a judge to halt the actions of a group if the AG "has reasonable cause to believe that any person or group of persons has engaged in or is about to engage in paramilitary activity." The bill would also allow a private citizen to sue a member or all members of a paramilitary group that has infringed upon his or her constitutional right by means of intimidation. >

Yeah it's kind of surprising Oregon doesn't get mentioned more in the national conversation about historic/contemporary racism. It was literally founded as a white ethnostate!
