Oregon Closes 'Boyfriend Loophole' in Gun Laws

A bill prohibiting domestic abusers and people under restraining orders from owning firearms became America’s first new gun control law since the Feb. 14 Florida high school massacre.

“Well done, Oregon,” Democratic Gov. Kate Brown exclaimed Monday after signing the law on the steps of the state Capitol as some 200 people, including victims of domestic abuse and high school students, applauded and cheered.

State Sen. Floyd Prozanski, whose sister was fatally shot by her boyfriend, and Rep. Janeen Sollman, who fled her home as a child when her father was in a violent rage, hugged as they stood behind the governor.

Now all a girlfriend or wife has to do out of spite is go and take out a restraining order on you and you lose your guns and gun rights.


Well done, Oregon. Dumba$$es!

MD is only a few states behind CA, OR, WA and MA in terms of liberalism. The same laws might get passed here.
