The Oregon Democrats have not supported this bill and it was left to die in committee. This omnibus bill was submitted by Oregon's Students for Change, a group of high-school and college students who understand the changes we must make to reduce gun violence. SB 501 was one of the most exciting and effective gun violence prevention bills Ceasefire Oregon has seen.

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.
