A contentious proposal to extend the waiting period on gun purchases from three to 10 days to allow more time for background checks to clear has passed its first major hurdle in the Oregon Legislature.
The controversy playing out in Oregon over House Bill 4147, which now heads to the Senate after passing the House on Monday, speaks to the broader debate about gun control among policymakers in the wake of numerous mass shootings across the nation in recent years. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
