Oregon is the first state in the nation to ratify new gun control legislation following the deadly high school shooting in Florida last month that killed 17.

Gov. Kate Brown signed the state's new gun law Monday night, which expands bans on firearms to people convicted of domestic violence, closing the so-called "boyfriend loophole" that allowed persons who aren't living with, married to or have children with a partner to keep their weapons.

"boyfriend loophole"?

That's a new one...
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Here lies in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS THE PROBLEM...NOT THE SOLUTION

House Bill 4145 closes what was sometimes referred to as the "boyfriend loophole" or the "intimate partner loophole." Current law in Oregon allows people convicted of stalking or domestic abuse to buy firearms if they were never married to or lived with their victim. This bill expands the firearms ban to all people convicted of the two crimes.

If only FL had this law. That school shooting would never have happened.

Sounds sexist.
