Anyone else heard about this?
https://olis.leg.state.or.us/liz/2019R1/Downloads/MeasureDocument/SB501Bill introduced in Oregon. Some highlights include...
A ban on "ammunition feeding devices, whether detachable or fixed, capable of holding more than 5 rounds." The bill specifically exempts .22 caliber tube feeding devices, tubular devices on level action firearms, and devices permanently altered to accept no more than five rounds. New twist here, in that it does not limit the ban to semi-automatic firearms. A strict reading of this bill would include pump shotguns with extended tubes and, my favorite part, revolvers with more than 5 round cylinders, regardless of caliber. Got a 9 shot .22 revolver? Not anymore. How about a Colt SAA in .45LC? That's a felony to possess one 180 days after the bill gets introduced.
A ban on the sale of more than 20 round of ammunition per month to an individual. 20 rounds. Not even a full box of practice ammo. Oh, and there's a mandatory background check on each ammunition purchase.
There's more. My link is to the actual bill, not a press interpretation. Articles I have read said that gun control advocates have tried for years to push measures, and lost close votes time and again. A recent shift in the legislature gives Dems a strong majority, so they anticipate great success for gun control legislation.
It this passes, so much for my dream of attending a course at Thunder Ranch Oregon...
