IP 43 Oregon

The Campaign to Stop the Sale and Transfer of Assault Rifles

The IP 43 campaign, Lift Every Voice Oregon, will refile for the 2020 ballot and will also work to pass a ban on assault rifles and high-capacity magazines in the 2019 legislative session.

Rather than allow Oregonians to determine their own fate, the National Rifle Association has put gun profits over the lives and the will of Oregonians. They know that Oregonians overwhelmingly support a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
