Gun Control Petition Recharged
C ontinued from f ront
paring for possible nuclear annihi-
lation, to the gun violence of today
that has impacted so many schools
and institutions.
“We grew up with drop and cov-
er,” Knutson said, “but today we
have five year olds learning gun
drills before they can read or spell.”
It is fitting that religious lead-
ers take the charge to end gun vi-
olence, added Rabbi Michael Cah-
ana of Congregation Beth Israel at
the press conference.
“This is a place for religious
passion, to recognize that we rep-
resent many different traditions,
but it’s time to beat swords into
plowshares so we will not have
weapons of war so readily avail-
able on our streets,” Cahana said.
“We will not stand idly by while

Rev. Lynn Smouse-Lopez of
Ainsworth United Church of
Christ also spoke, making refer-
ence to the season of Christmas
to call on her fellow Christians to
support gun control.
“This is the time we prepare
and make room for Jesus in our
lives, a time when we step up and
claim peace,” she said. “How can
we let this gun violence contin-
ue? We need to step up, step out
and proclaim peace … to save our
children.”
Other religious leaders support-
ing the initiative included Rev.
Alcena Boozer, pastor emeritus
of St. Philip the Deacon Episco-
pal Church and a former Jefferson
High School principal; and Imam
Muhammad Najieb, director of
the Muslim Community Center of

Liz McKanna of the Lift Every
Voice legislative team said the pe-
tition will focus on closing a loop-
hole in Oregon law that allows a
person applying for a background
check to go ahead and buy the gun
if the background check doesn’t
come through within three days.
“If it doesn’t go through in
three days, the dealer can sell you
the weapon,” she said. “We want
to make sure people can pass
background checks.”
Other elements of the petition
include requiring a five-day wait-
ing period, age restrictions for
gun purchases and restrictions on
manufacture and sales of some
semi-automatic firearms. The pe-
tition will be available for viewing
once it has been filed with the Sec-
retary of State, Knutson said.
1. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Smear the but-
ter all over the turkey crown and season all over with
salt and half the five spice. Put in a roasting tin, skin-
side up, and roast for 30 mins. While the crown is
roasting, mix all the glaze ingredients in a bowl with
the rest of the five spice.
2. Remove the crown from the oven and brush the skin
generously with half the glaze. Continue to roast for
another hour, glazing twice more, until cooked all the
way through and the glaze is sticky and caramelised.
Leave to rest for at least 20 mins before carving. Save
the juices from the tin to make gravy.
