SB 978 along with a vaccine bill were traded away by Governor Kate Brown to appease Senate Republicans when they ran away from their jobs. The Republican walkout deprived the Oregon Senate of a quorum and therefore the ability to pass bills. After the bills were killed, the Republican senators returned, promising to behave. They did not. They ran away again in 2019 and again in 2020.
Here's what was traded away in return for ???:
SB 978 stops hate groups and terrorists from printing guns that are undetectable and untraceable.
SB 978 gives public schools and major airports the right to make security decisions about prohibiting loaded, hidden guns in classrooms and terminals.
SB 978 stops the pipeline of unsecured guns to criminals by requiring gun owners to secure their firearms when not in use.
SB 978-5 is an omnibus bill that will regulate undetectable, untraceable, and downloadable guns (often referred to as "ghost guns"); hold strictly liable gun owners who do not secure firearms; require reporting of lost or stolen guns to crack down on gun traffickers; and allow cities, counties, school districts, airports, and other public buildings to not permit concealed handgun license holders to carry firearms into those buildings or areas.

Ceasefire Oregon hopes this means no more civilians carrying loaded AR 15s will be allowed in the Oregon Capitol Building.
