Gun control group pushing for expanded background checks turns attention to Oregon
"Oregon voters extended background checks to require them for sales at gun shows in 2000.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Sen. Floyd Prozanski, D-Eugene, plans to introduce legislation to expand that to private gun sales. The bill would require anyone selling a gun privately to call state police for a background check on criminal history and mental illness. It would exclude sales among family members, inheritances and antique guns.
"I want to put closure on the only loophole we have on the background check law," said Prozanksi, a native Texan who owns a few guns. "Most all of us gun owners, as well as the general public, believe we should take reasonable steps to stop felons from getting easy access to guns. This will do that."

Everytown spent $600,000 getting Democrats elected to the senate. Though it narrowly failed to pass twice the bill is sure to pass this time and the Governor will sign it.
Of course the NRA is gnashing teeth over the "out of state millionaires interfering in Oregon's gun culture". Hmmm, as I recall the NRA headquarters are located in Virginia . . .
