Oregon: Committee to Vote on Bill Expanding Firearm Prohibitions

On February 7^th, the House Judiciary Committee held a public hearing on House Bill 4145, which would significantly expand the class of persons who could be stripped of their Second Amendment rights.  This bill has been scheduled for a vote in the House Judiciary Committee today, February 9^th at 3:00PM.  Please contact members of the House Judiciary Committee and urge their strong opposition to House Bill 4145!  Click the “Take Action” button below to contact Judiciary Committee Members.

House Bill 4145 would expand the class of persons in Oregon that could be prohibited from possessing firearms.  This legislation would add stalking to the list of offenses that would result in the removal of Second Amendment rights, and would change existing law so that a broader definition of “family and household members” would be applied to firearm prohibitions for certain misdemeanor offenses and protective orders.  In doing so, this expansion would go well beyond existing state and federal law.  This legislation was filed at the request of Bloomberg supported Governor Kate Brown, who accepted a quarter of a million dollars from former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg during her election in 2016.  It is no surprise that she is again pushing new gun restrictions for 2018 as she heads into her re-election campaign.
