Today, on the eve of the scheduled Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, SB 243, a placeholder bill that was directed at study background checks, received a 23-page amendment combining four anti-gun bills into a single omnibus anti-gun monstrosity. SB 243 will be heard tomorrow, Wednesday March 27, at 3pm. Contact members of the Senate Judiciary Committee today using the take action button today and urge them to OPPOSE SB 243.
SB 243 previously a placeholder bill directed at studying background checks, has been significantly amended to include elements of four anti-gun bills. This includes: SB 429, imposing a 72-hour waiting period for the purchase of firearms and firearm parts; SB 696, creating the crime of unlawful transport, manufacture, or transfer of a "rapid-fire activator"; SB 697, prohibiting anyone under 21 years of age from possessing firearms, effectively ending youth shooting sports and youth hunting in Oregon; and SB 698, expanding gun-free zones by allowing public entities to adopt policies that prohibit firearms, even for concealed handgun license holders.
