2025 Legislative Summary
Jan. 13, 2025
OSSA continues to support:
First, What Is missing from the list below:
- Legislation that reduces Oregon's mental crisis in suicide. Over 3 of 4 firearms deaths in Oregon are from personal or mental crisis that cumulate in suicide. These are not violent crimes they are tragedies. OSSA leads in providing suicide prevention training to Oregon's firearms owners including children, veterans, and rural populations.
- Legislation that drives accountability for criminals misusing firearms through mandatory sentencing and monitoring by law enforcement.
- Legislation and actions that restore and maintain our US and Oregon Constitutional rights.
First, What Is missing from the list below:
- To support Oregonians struggling with personal crisis and mental illness that could very well lead to suicide. To to do this we need to enable these at risk firearms owners a safe and trusted place to store their firearm away from their home. This concept is often called 'hold your gun'. This is essentially a place, often an FFL, that has lockers for rent where firearms or parts of firearms can be stored away form the home thus providing 'Time and Distance' .
- Shop owners and FFLs fear liability if the parts are returned and the firearm owner, others, are harmed.
- The bill the eliminates liability for Shop Owner, when the firearm owner takes possession of their firearms or firearms components.
- Rep. Tran has championed this in the past and it needs to be revisited.
