HOUSE COMMITTEE PASSES GUN BAN BILLS
04.08.2025
As expected, today the House Judiciary Committee passed HB 3075 and HB 3076.
HB 3075, as amended, implements the restrictions of MZ 114 but drastically jacks up the fees.
The Chair of the Committee called the massive increase in fees a “technical fix” and said the bill was needed because we have to have background checks, something we have had for generations.
HB 3076, as amended, creates absurd and draconian new restrictions on gun dealers in an effort to shut down as many firearms businesses as possible. However the new rules also apply to home based FFL’s and will apply at gun shows where the requirements will be impossible to comply with.
Together these bills will make it virtually impossible to purchase firearms in Oregon.
The bills now move to the House Floor where, if the Oregon Republicans show up for the vote, these bills will sail through. They will then move to the Senate where they will face almost certain passage in committee and also on the floor.
These bills are the most extreme bills Oregon has ever considered and have one purpose, to end lawful firearms transfers in the state. If the Republicans allow these bills to pass gun rights in Oregon will be close to non existent. The ball is in their court.
