On February 28th, we warned you about a bill that was written to close virtually every shooting range in the state.
At the time, the bill was in draft form. We promised to keep you informed of its progress.
As many of you know the bill now exists in bill form. It is SB 1012
Yesterday the bill was assigned to Ginny Burdick’s Judiciary Committee. As you know, Burdick is Oregon’s most fanatical gun hater.
It is imperative that you contact the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and express your opposition to this very dangerous bill. A suggested message appears at the bottom of this page. Feel free to alter it.
You can see all bills in both html and easier to read PDF format here.
You can contact your own representatives, even if you don’t know who they are by using this link.
You may also want to consider contacting your local police department. Many departments rely on local private ranges for practice. Obviously their costs will skyrocket if this bill becomes law.

Dear Senator,
Senate Bill 1012 is extreme, unneeded and unwise.
At a time when everyone agrees that firearms safety is essential, SB 1012 would effectively close virtually every range where people can safely shoot.
I urge you in the strongest terms to oppose this draconian and dangerous legislation.
Very truly yours,
