Guns

Oregon lawmakers have passed one of the most hotly contested gun bills this year. Meanwhile, a bill that aimed to bolster the state’s firearm regulatory network appears to have died.

Oregon and 14 other states have sued the Trump administration over its plan to allow the sale of forced-reset triggers that make semiautomatic rifles fire more rapidly and to return devices already seized to their owners.

The bill would ban rapid-fire devices, including bump stocks, which make semi-automatic weapons fully automatic. It would also allow governing bodies to pass rules to prohibit people from carrying guns in public buildings, even if they have a concealed handgun license.

Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson on Tuesday signed into law a controversial policy requiring gun buyers to first pay for a new state permit.

Senate Bill 243 condenses four bills into one and would enact sweeping changes to the state's gun laws.
