Latest Gun Control Bill Passes Out Of Committee, Heads to OR House

SALEM, OR -- The Oregon House Rules Committee passed the gun control bill this Thursday. The bill will expand background checks for private gun sales in the state. Thursday's vote was 5 to 4, along party lines.

 

Representative Mike McLane (R-Powell Butte) voted against the bill. "I think when you say that the goal is to make Oregon safer for women and children, that is an oversimplified answer," McLane says. "Everyone here wants to make the state safer to women and children. But that begs the question, does this bill produce that result? I conclude it does not."

 

SB 941 has already passed the Senate and could come up for a vote in the full Oregon House next week.
