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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
