PORTLAND, Ore. — Researchers at John Hopkins studied how gun violence impacts Oregonians, just in time for a gun safety measure to hit the November ballot.
Next month, Oregonians will see Measure 114 on their ballots.
According to the John Hopkins study, there were nearly 600 gun deaths in Oregon and almost 40 were children and teens.
Research shows that 77% of those deaths were from suicide.
The study also showed that men were nearly four times more likely to die from gun violence than women and seven times more likely to die by firearm suicide than women.

- require permits issued by local law enforcement to buy a firearm;
- require photo ID, fingerprints, safety training, criminal background check, and fee payment to apply for a permit; and
- prohibit manufacturing, importing, purchasing, selling, possessing, using, or transferring ammunition magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds and make violations a class A misdemeanor.
Suicide isn’t good, but as long as it isn’t murder/suicide, the harm is limited.
So, let the left make this a capital punishment crime.
100,000+ ODs but........guns. 😵🚫💉💊
SUIICIDE is the leading cause of ALL deaths in Oregon.
That figures. It is a leftist-controlled state, after all.
The “gun violence” narrative has always been built on a lie. Law-abiding gun owners are not going berserk and killing strangers or their neighbors.
Criminals break the law. Any law.
Desperate people kill themselves.
More laws against guns won’t change these facts.
And, by the way, the Left might oppose guns because “they make suicide easier” but the Left will simultaneously push for Euthanasia for people who have given up on life.

What a BS article-—they state children and TEENS! Most likely gang violence, which are illegal guns. Next is suicide——Japan, France and Iceland have higher suicide rates than the USA-—and they have very, VERY strict gun laws or bans.
I’m so sick of lying propaganda ...I don’t care about the lying “facts”. To ban or limit guns is illegal.
Basically these laws only affect law abiding suckers, I mean citizens.
unfortunatly, ive known far too many who have offed themselves. only one of probably 15-20 used a gun. most were gun owners
hanging and intentional OD mostly

But if they didn’t have guns they would be just fine.
Fentanyl deaths >>>> gun deaths. So let’s make ourselves feel good and deny women and senior citizens the right to defend themselves.
Liberal ãsshole.
With legal. physician-assisted suicide, no less.
Though Oregonians have repeatedly voted for it, there’s s moratorium on capital punishment.
ya, cuz lack of gun access stops suicide.......
Bruen Decision? What Bruen decision?
We have a high bridge in town that sees some suicides. Also a high cliff an hour away, if you feel like a last drive. One guy was walking to the peak of the bridge and lost his nerve, so he jumped in front of a dumptruck.

Not as limited as you might think.
I think it was here in California somewhere that a young person sitting at a table decided to commit suicide with a handgun. The round went completely through their head and killed a person standing next to the table.
