Since this media will spin this as pro gun control, make sure you know the details of the study that was released yesterday.
Though showing background checks reduce firearm related homicides (what we all have to do in Oregon anyway) banning "assault weapons" had no effect
Firearm Laws and Firearm Homicides
"Specific laws directed at firearm trafficking, improving child safety, or the banning of military-style assault weapons were not associated with changes in firearm homicide rates. The evidence for laws restricting guns in public places and leniency in gun carrying was mixed. "
When the Oregon legislators try and push new laws this next term make sure you mention this study.
