Oregon has passed a broad range of gun safety laws in recent years, including a requirement that guns be securely stored whenever they are not in their owner’s immediate control, a prohibition on guns at the state capitol, and giving colleges and universities the authority to prohibit guns on their grounds. In 2022, voters approved a ballot measure which requires a permit and training in order to purchase a firearm, a prohibition on high-capacity magazines, among other protective gun safety measures. The state enacted a prohibition on untraceable ghost guns and 3-D printed guns in 2023, targeting a growing and dangerous part of the gun industry.
