ANTI GUN BILL IN SENATE COMMITTEE TOMORROW
02.26.2026
Anti-gun bill HB 4145, having passed in the House, is scheduled for a hearing tomorrow in the Senate Rules Committee. The hearing is at 1 p.m. THERE IS STILL TIME TO KILL THIS.
4145 is another effort on the part of Oregon Democrats to ensure that law-abiding Oregonians are denied the ability to acquire firearms. Due to massive hikes in the fees that will be required to request a “permit” to exercise a God-given, constitutionally guaranteed “right,” it is also a slap in the face to Oregon’s low-income population. A population the Democrats are determined to enlarge at every opportunity.
HB 4145 requires you to jump through expensive hoops to own a firearm and will punish you if you own a magazine. But it does not even provide the hoops. Please contact the Senate Republican Leader and tell him to put a stop to this lunacy.
