The Oregon gun lobby wants to take away YOUR voice to demand laws to reduce gun violence, and they want to take away Oregon legislator's right to do so as well.
IP 8 would put an end to firearm safety legislation in Oregon including bills passed by our Oregon legislators and initiative petitions. In addition, the gun lobby wants to be sure that weapons of war like AR15s and AK 47s are readily available for the mass shootings that are now common place in America.

Under the export rules change, American-made guns, including semi-automatics like AR-15s, could easily find their way into the hands of criminals and terrorists overseas.
The change was official on January 24, 2020.
Here are the specifics about what the proposed export rules change would do:
-Eliminate Congressional oversight for important gun export deals.
-Transfer the cost of processing licenses from gun manufacturers to taxpayers.
-Enable unchecked gun production in the U.S. and exports abroad by removing the block on 3D printing of firearms.
-Reduce transparency and reporting on gun exports.
-Transfer gun export licensing from an agency with a mission to promote stability, human rights, and reduce conflict to an agency with a mission to promote trade and which lacks the resources to adequately enforce export controls.
