Hundreds of demonstrators, many of them children or young adults, took to the streets in Portland on Sat., Jun. 11, 2022, as part of the national, student-led March for Our Lives protest lobbying for gun reform.
Advocates of Initiative Petition 17 made their way Friday afternoon to Salem to hand-deliver the final batch of signatures in support of the only piece of statewide gun control legislation that Oregonians will likely consider this year.
The initiative would require people to get a permit and pass a background check before buying a gun and would stop the sale of gun magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
