Latest News From Oregon and the Death of LaVoy Finicum
The standoff at the Malheur Refuge hasn’t ended and Cliven Bundy is contradicting his son Ammon who urged people in the refuge to end the the protest. He is telling the protesters to stay. The remaining holdouts are David Fry, of Cincinnati; Jeff Banta, of Elko, Nev., and Sean and Sandy Anderson, a married couple from Riggins, Idaho. This entire protest needs to be called off before more people are called.
The family is raising the question of the use of excessive force and a cover up in the death of LaVoy Finicum, the only protester to die so far.

When I was a young man growing up in rural Oregon, there was a term for people like me: âgun nut.âÂ
By my 20s, I had a sizable collection of rifles, pistols and shotguns. Some people I knew had a âpre-64â Winchester, a rifle renowned for its quality. Or they had a Browning Auto 5, a beautiful shotgun. A friend had 10 of those in various gauges.
But gun nuts today are a different breed entirely. When they talk about guns, they donât get into describing graceful lines, tight grain wood or immaculate bluing. At gun stores today what I hear praised is firepower that comes out of black plastic and steel. And these weapons are not for hunting, theyâre assault rifles sometimes called âmodern sporting guns.â The kind of sport theyâre good for is not spelled out.
Writers on the Range: Gun nut has a warning

When I was a young man growing up in rural Oregon, there was a term for people like me: “gun nut.”
By my twenties I had a sizable collection of rifles, pistols and shotguns. Some people I knew had a “pre-64” Winchester, a rifle renowned for its quality. Or they had a Browning Auto 5, a beautiful shotgun. A friend had ten of those in various gauges.
But gun nuts today are a different breed entirely. When they talk about guns they don’t get into describing graceful lines, tight grain wood or immaculate bluing. At gun stores today what I hear praised is firepower that comes out of black plastic and steel. And these weapons are not for hunting, they’re assault rifles sometimes called “modern sporting guns.” The kind of sport they’re good for is not spelled out.
