HR 1236 National

National Extreme Risk Protection Order Act of 2019

H.R.1236 would make grants available to state governments that have enacted extreme risk laws to help provide critical funding for implementation, allowing the law to be enforced at its highest potential. This bill provides minimum standards that state-level extreme risk laws must meet in order to be eligible for grant funding while providing enough flexibility for states that do not mirror or that may exceed those standards to remain eligible -- allowing the largest number of states to be eligible for funding.

H.R. 1236 would also empower federal courts to issue Extreme Risk orders. The legislation establishes clear legal standards for when a federal order could be issued including strong due process protections, and it would give family members and law enforcement in all fifty states a path to take action when they observe someone in crisis.

SB 978 Oregon

Omnibus Gun Violence Prevention Bill 2019

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.

Position: Support

Status: July 1, 2019: End of session, bill was not passed

SB 925 Oregon

Allows regulation of locations permitting concealed handgun license holders to carry hidden guns

City, county, metropolitan service districts, ports, school districts, colleges, or universities are authorized to regulate or prohibit possession of firearms in public buildings by concealed handgun license holders.

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