Signed into law on July 13. Congratulations!
Prohibits manufacture or possession of firearms or firearm receivers that lack serial numbers and firearms that lack a metal piece (called a security exemplar) that allows metal detectors to detect firearms.
HB 2005 B continues Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum’s work to prevent hate groups and terrorists from printing guns that are undetectable and untraceable.
Undetectable guns can completely bypass metal detectors at security check points.
The following has been removed from HB 2005 to appease Republicans:
Increases the age of purchase or possession of a firearm to 21 with exceptions of hunting rifles or firearms transferred to the minor as a gift from a parent or guardian.
Allows active duty military and police under 21 to possess firearms regardless of increased risk of suicide.
Gives cities, counties, districts, and municipal corporations control to regulate carry of concealed guns.
