Oregon: Ballot Measure 114 Override Bill Passes House

Dear [Lawmaker],

As a fellow resident of Oregon and your constituent, I urge you to OPPOSE HB 4145 in the Senate.

HB 4145 would legislatively implement an override of the ballot measure with the following major changes that were NOT approved by the voters:

Doubles the amount of time for state bureaucrats to issue the required permit to lawfully purchase a firearm from 30 days to 60 days.

Increases the cost for the permit by more than 130%, from $65 to $150, a clear attempt to make lawful gun ownership unobtainable through financial barriers.

Carves out on and off duty law enforcement from the permit requirement and magazine capacity limitations, creating different classes of people for lawful firearm ownership.

Changes the implementation date of the magazine ban and permit requirements.

Includes a government maintained de facto registry of firearm owners, with their personal data and fingerprints to be shared with the FBI.

HB 4145 received significant public backlash in the House Judiciary Committee. The bill was overwhelmingly opposed by the public, and the process and advancement of the bill has endured criticism from both pro-second amendment supporters and anti-gun groups.

Again, I urge you to OPPOSE HB 4145.

Thank you for all that you do for our state.

Sincerely,
______
