Oregon is one step closer to enacting further gun control measures.
The Oregon House of Representatives passed a gun control package (House Bill 2005) on a party-line vote on Tuesday, 35-24. Democrats supported the measure, while Republicans opposed it.
The bill would ban "ghost guns," raise the minimum age from 18 to 21 years old to purchase handguns and semiautomatic weapons, establish a three-day waiting period for new firearm purchases, and would give local governments the authority to ban firearms in public buildings.
Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum cheered the House's decision to vote in favor of the bill. She said that she would like to see the bill become law soon.
