Thanks, Nick.

Sheesh, 14 already. Well, it's only Monday.

And, no 'fix up' bill for 114.

A couple are not bad things, and several SB/HBs are apparently the respective house copies of the same bill.

SB348 2023 Regular Session - Oregon Legislative Information System

olis.oregonlegislature.gov

Directs Department of Justice to study ways to address unlawful possession of firearms, and to provide results of study to interim committees of Legislative Assembly no later than December 31, 2024. (apparently dupes HB2373)

SB527 2023 Regular Session - Oregon Legislative Information System

olis.oregonlegislature.gov

Allows gun dealer or person transferring firearms, firearm accessories, ammunition or ammunition components for purchase at gun show, or business engaged in repairing or servicing firearms to establish minimum age of 21 years for such purchases, repairs or services.

SB551 2023 Regular Session - Oregon Legislative Information System

olis.oregonlegislature.gov

Requires school districts to provide specified information related to secure storage of medications and firearms.

SB650 2023 Regular Session - Oregon Legislative Information System

olis.oregonlegislature.gov

Directs Oregon Criminal Justice Commission to classify crime of felon in possession of a firearm as crime category 8.

SB686 2023 Regular Session - Oregon Legislative Information System

olis.oregonlegislature.gov

Authorizes governing bodies of certain public entities that own or control public building to adopt policy, ordinance or regulation or precluding affirmative defense for possession of firearms in public building and adjacent grounds by concealed handgun licensees (Seems to be the same as HB2007)

SJR3 2023 Regular Session - Oregon Legislative Information System

olis.oregonlegislature.gov

Proposes amendment to Oregon Constitution establishing right to carry concealed firearms (Looks good by that description, but let's see

PARAGRAPH 1. Section 27, Article I of the Constitution of the State of Oregon, is amended to read:
Sec. 27. (1) The people shall have the right to bear arms for the [defence] defense of themselves, and the State, but the Military shall be kept in strict subordination to the civil power.
(2) The right described in subsection (1) of this section includes the right to carry a concealed firearm.
PARAGRAPH 2. The amendment proposed by this resolution shall be submitted to the people for their approval or rejection at the next regular general election held throughout this state.

(Doesn't mention licenses, so 'Constitutional Carry'; so, of course, DOA.)

HB2005 2023 Regular Session - Oregon Legislative Information System

olis.oregonlegislature.gov

Defines "undetectable firearm." Punishes manufacturing, importing, offering for sale or transferring undetectable firearm by maximum of 10 years' imprisonment, $250,000 fine, or both (AG Rosenblum wants this - dupe of HB2874, still a waste of time. But at least she asks instead of Making Stuff Up like California)

HB2007 2023 Regular Session - Oregon Legislative Information System

olis.oregonlegislature.gov

Authorizes governing bodies of certain public entities that own or control public building to adopt policy, ordinance or regulation or precluding affirmative defense for possession of firearms in public building and adjacent grounds by concealed handgun licensees. (Bad, so almost certain to pass)

HB2373 2023 Regular Session - Oregon Legislative Information System

olis.oregonlegislature.gov

Directs Department of Justice to study ways to address unlawful possession of firearms, and to provide results of study to interim committees of Legislative Assembly no later than December 31, 2024. (Oooh! A 'study'.)

HB2579 2023 Regular Session - Oregon Legislative Information System

olis.oregonlegislature.gov

Exempts from private transfer criminal background check requirement transfer of curio or relic firearm to person licensed as collector under federal law. (As described, innocuous to positive)

HB2704 2023 Regular Session - Oregon Legislative Information System

olis.oregonlegislature.gov

Requires district school board or higher education governing board that adopts policy limiting possession of firearms by concealed handgun licensees on school grounds to install metal detectors at entrances to buildings subject to policy. (Ah, the "let us get serious" bill.)

HB2874 2023 Regular Session - Oregon Legislative Information System

olis.oregonlegislature.gov

Defines "undetectable firearm." Punishes manufacturing, importing, offering for sale or transferring undetectable firearm by maximum of 10 years' imprisonment, $250,000 fine, or both. (Waste of time)

HB2936 2023 Regular Session - Oregon Legislative Information System

olis.oregonlegislature.gov

Repeals requirement to secure firearm in specified circumstances.

HB2968 2023 Regular Session - Oregon Legislative Information System

olis.oregonlegislature.gov

Repeals prohibition on carrying concealed firearm on person or possessing concealed, readily accessible handgun within vehicle

"but nobody's trying to take away your guns"


Correct me if Im interpreting this wrong, but whats especially egregious is the multiple ones authorizing the state to be authorized "to to adopt policy, ordinance or regulation or precluding affirmative defense for possession of firearms in public building and adjacent grounds by concealed handgun licensees." instead of the building user. So then all the remaining public schools that didn't post GFZ signs the state dept of education can now declare those places GFZs.
And any other public building that hasn't already.

 

[PiratePast40]

For the time being, the titles and descriptions are not necessarily meaningful. They can, and typically do gut and stuff bills.

I read the text as requiring the 'owner' agency to do that, not any old State agency. Seems to me that local facilities are owned by districts.

I think this part is much more fun - proposed new text

(3) The governing body of a city, county, district as defined in ORS 198.010 or any other entity that falls within the definition of "municipal corporation" in ORS 297.405 may adopt a policy, ordinance or regulation providing that the affirmative defense described in ORS 166.370 (3)(g), concerning persons licensed to carry a concealed handgun under ORS 166.291 and 166.292, does not apply to the possession of firearms within buildings and on grounds adjacent to buildings owned or controlled by the governing body.

That might easily be interpreted to cover parking lots and driveways at airports - no more CCW-armed driver dropping off passengers.

Constitutional Carry would be dope but I wont hold my breath...

 

[PiratePast40]

At least they're not even pretending that it has anything to do with crime or saving lives. It's an obvious public attack against lawful gun owners.

What the heck is an "undetectable firearm"??

HHHMMM, minimum age of 21 years but yet we induct 18 year old folks to serve in the military and risk their lives. Seems like this age of "maturity" was lowered during the Vietnam War but now it is OK to ask folks under age 21 to fight and die for their country but deny them their 2A rights? There are a lot of hypocritical issues today that harken back to them days.

 

[DragoonCabbage]

Introduced today. Makes illegal the possession, transfer, import, etc of unfinished frames/receivers and unserialized firearms. Also declares a state of emergency.

Oregon HB2005 | 2023 | Regular Session

Bill Text (2023-07-24) Relating to firearms; and declaring an emergency. [Chapter 229, (2023 Laws): Effective date July 13, 2023.]

legiscan.com

I see no transition period for serialization and no grandfather clause. Exemptions for dealers, antiques, and pre-1968 firearms.

EDIT: Looks like I missed this earlier thread. Mods please feel free to lock, merge, etc as appropriate. Thank you.

Please explain to me how they plan to find it if it is "undetectable". If they find it and charge me, then it was not undetectable was it?

With the shameless emergency declaration will they get to ram this down the innocent peoples throats without any say?

Essentially 3D printed things.

I know diddly squat about 3D printing, but can you 3D print a barrel and slide? What about all the internal parts. Parts the slide slides on and all those other metal parts internal to the firearm? I'm speaking of handguns only.

 

[Koda]

Now would be a good time to distinguish the difference between undetectable and untraceable.

SCOTUS already ruled against this in New York. Apparently Oregon legislators are either stupid, retarded or simply completely treasonous…

We will be lucky if the State Preemption for CHL holders remains intact.
