Oregon voters will decide this fall on a proposal that would require a permit for gun purchases and ban magazines higher than 10 rounds, except for current owners, law enforcement and the military.
Initiative 17, the Reduction of Gun Violence Act, has surpassed the minimum number of signatures required, 112,080, Oregon Secretary of State Shemia Fagan's elections division said Monday, Fox News reported.
If approved, an applicant for a gun permit would be required to complete an approved firearm safety course, pay a fee, provide personal information, submit to fingerprinting and photographing and pass a criminal background check.
The National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action condemned the initiative, saying on its website that "these anti-gun citizens are coming after YOU, the law-abiding firearm owners of Oregon, and YOUR guns."

Does it say “active duty” members of the military. By the Militia Act of 1903 all able-bodied men between ages 17 and 45 are members of the Reserve Militia, and thus members of the military.
I remember when citizen initiatives were used to reign-in government power, not to expand it.

I know for sure that my Oregon Constitutional Sheriff will not enforce un Constitutional gun laws. But he will not be able to thwart the new law to get gun stores to sell to you. He will never show up to take them, he has said so.
Of course, but how long before it would be overturned?
That California magazine ban has been overturned and then reaffirmed several times and still not settled after several years.
Meanwhile residents will have their constitutional rights denied.
Doesn’t Oregon do almost all of its voting through, Mail In Ballots?
IIRC, there was an article that detailed how the state adopted, mail in voting, and from that point on it’s been radical Leftism.
The borders of Washington and Oregon need to be redrawn. Needs to go North-South. Give the liberals the coast. I was told by a friend that lives in Washington, definitely NOT a liberal, that if they got everything west of the Cascades, all would be good.
Mrs rktman’s solution——on county, one vote.....basically, a state level electoral college. Although I’d give each county 3 votes. One person wins over 60%, they get all 3 votes. 50-59.9 they get 2, loser gets 1. That way, IMHO, they loser can’t say that their voters voices aren’t being heard.
I’ll send them back a letter askign what exactly they have been doing to stop the gun grabbing-
“We’re not banning free speech, we’re just banning any use of the letter E and any use of the future tense. There are still 25 letters remaining, and lots of other tenses. Therefore, this isn’t an infringement on freedom of speech or of the press. Have a nice day.”
Not sure. In nevaDUH our #1 means is now mail in with in person as an option. We choose door #2.
Wow....Well, I guess it’s Steve Sisolak one more time. Effin’ liberals. Truly are a cancer to the world.
But, we share responsibility in allowing them to become what they have become. Sadly.
Don’t think Lombardo can beat sisypants? Well, vegas. The ads that are popping up are some of the worst. If you don’t like the dem run cabal then you hate puppies. And WTH does #1 in economic momentum mean? 😵🤕
Hawaiihas been doing this for years. Hard to fight through the courts when we have this 9th Circus to contend with.
many here ignore the registration, permit to acquire, 10 mag ban etc. etc.
We just go to safe states to get our guns. We still can’t get concealed carry as the police chiefs( they give out the permits when they feel like it and they to date have never felt like it) are dragging their feet and they know we can’t get through the court system in less than ten to fifteen years.
We only have 1.5 million people in the whole state so the NRA and GOA don’t bother with us, too small of a fish.
The only reason we have low crime is that we lack a particular culture in our very diverse state and I suspect most of that culture that is here is in the military.
Its because these elitists don’t listen or read what the SCOTUS says.
Lived there WAY back. Before statehood/statehood granted.
It’s unconstitutional. The US Constitution trumps federal, state and local laws. These morons need to learn what the words, “shall not infringe” mean and the STFU.
Constitution? Some of us believe.
You can only use grandfathered high-cap mags at authorized firing ranges. You can’ use them in CCW handguns nor take them when you go camping.
Ed
Legally.
I’m south of you, in JoCo. I’m not sure what our local sheriff believes, but we have a good candidate running, Jonathan Knapp, who I hope will win.
Ed
Of course, but the trouble is...if I’m pulled over and my Glock 19 has high-cap rounds, they’ll seize the Glock and I’ll never get it back.
