On Wednesday, Oregon House Republicans said they successfully killed House Bill 3076, which they believe would seek to hurt responsible firearms dealers by adding a new state licensing program designed to shutter small businesses that shutter firearms.

House Republican Leader Christine Drazan said, “I will always stand up for Oregonian’s constitutional rights, and their right to keep themselves and their families safe”. Drazan said, “HB 3076 was an extreme bill that would have harmed small businesses in rural communities, low-income communities, and communities of color the most. All Oregonians are entitled to exercise their Second Amendment rights, regardless of their zip code, income or race”.

Drazan said, “This was not a bill about safety. It was about control”.

HB 3076 B was referred back to the House Judiciary Committee with unanimous consent on the House Floor.
