Public to weigh in as lawmakers consider key amendments to Oregon gun control bill

Lawmakers will hear from the public about proposed amendments to Senate Bill 243, one of three major gun control bills advancing through the Oregon Legislature this session.

As currently written, the bill would impose a 72-hour mandatory waiting period between the initiation of a background check and the transfer of a firearm to the gun buyer. A proposed amendment to remove that provision from the bill is under consideration. Committee members will hear arguments about the amendment on Monday before voting on whether to advance the bill in a work session scheduled for Wednesday.
