IP 8 Oregon

Common Firearms Act AKA Common Mass Shootings Act

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.

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.
