Another would put a 72-hour waiting period in place for gun purchases and yet another would “create the crime of unlawful transport, manufacture or transfer of a rapid-fire activator, a device attached to a firearm to increase the trigger rate and mimic automatic weapon fire.”Ballot measure 114 (BM 114) passed with just over 50 percent of the vote in 2022, but has since been blocked in court. Oregon Live reported that House Bill 3075 has been introduced this legislative session to carry certain aspects of BM 114 across the finish line, including a “ban…[on] the sale or purchase of magazines holding more than 10 rounds.”HB 3075 also more than doubles gun permit application fees from $65 to $150.AWR Hawkins is an award-winning Second Amendment columnist for Breitbart News and the writer/curator of Down Range with AWR Hawkins, a weekly newsletter focused on all things Second Amendment, also for Breitbart News.
