Oregon’s Measure 114 passed by a razor thin margin in 2022. Although it’s not on the ballot this year, it’s still a topic in upcoming local elections.
-
The law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom was set to take effect Jan. 1. It would have prohibited people from carrying concealed guns in places including parks and playgrounds, churches, banks and zoos.
-
Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum wants to postpone one provision of the gun safety measure approved by voters last month.
-
New gun law set to go into effect next week will require a permit to purchase for anyone with a pending firearm background check, according to state police.
-
Less than two weeks remain for Oregon officials to hammer out a complex permitting regime for firearm ownership under Measure 114, and that could put the state in a constitutionally precarious spot.
-
The measure, which narrowly passed this month, bans magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds and requires Oregonians to get a permit to buy a gun.
-
For many on both sides, the passage of Measure 114 feels deeply personal and will change day-to-day life.
-
The ballot measure would require people who want to buy a gun to pay a fee, take a safety course, submit fingerprints and pass a background check to obtain a permit.
-
Proponents say what they call common sense regulations would save lives. Opponents say the measure represents an unfunded mandate that would unduly limit access to guns.
-
In a state known for its strict gun laws, a concealed carry bill failed in the final hours of the legislative session. Its supporters rolled the dice with a proposal that would take effect quickly, but that required two-thirds approval.
-
Measure 114 calls for a completed background check, completion of a gun safety course and a ban on magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Would it have prevented last weekend's tragedy at a supermarket in Bend?
-
After opening the door for civil lawsuits against gun makers and sellers earlier this month, Gov. Gavin Newsom expanded the ability for private citizens to sue the firearms industry for deaths and injury caused by gun violence.
-
The president's signing comes just over a month after the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, killed 19 children and two adults.
-
The agreement, which has the support of at least 10 Republican senators, is narrowly focused at preventing future shootings similar to the one in Uvalde, Texas.
