Oregon: Gun Control Bills Advance Out of Committees for Floor Votes

In a last-ditch effort to advance gun control this legislative session, the Joint Ways & Means Committee has passed House Bill 3076, placing further restrictions on firearms dealers, and Senate Bill 243, the gun control omnibus package. Both bills have advanced to the House and Senate floors, respectively, and are eligible for votes. Please contact your legislators directly by using the TAKE ACTION button below and urge them to OPPOSE these bills.

SB 243 is an omnibus gun-control bill that includes elements of other pending anti-gun legislation, including: SB 696, creating the crime of unlawful transport, manufacture, or transfer of a "rapid-fire activator;" SB 698, gun-free zone expansion; and HB 3075, which implements portions of Ballot Measure 114 through legislative action.

HB 3076 will impose significant restrictions and penalties on federal firearm licensees, including 24-hour video surveillance, even for home-based FFLs. Firearms dealers are already highly regulated by both state and federal law. This legislation is nothing more than a push by anti-gun proponents to further increase the cost and potential liabilities for operating a lawful business.
