Gun safety legislation on the state level can have an impact in saving lives. Read this op-ed from CGVS's @lisabgeller and Ari Davis in @NBCNewsTHINK about a ballot measure that just passed in Oregon to enact evidence-based policy: https://t.co/d5C9cZ1KW1
Congratulations to the voters of Oregon. The gun rights of those who wish to own firearms should not come at the risk of the rest of our collective safety.
These measures will reduce gun violence and save lives - let's pass more of them across the country!

Votes are still being counted, but it looks like Oregon voters approved stricter gun laws that will SAVE lives! Measure 114 will require a police-issued permit, gun safety training, and more. These are COMMONSENSE laws that will keep our communities safer! https://t.co/rdwX5EX66b

Congratulations to the voters of Oregon. Your rights should not come at the risk of our safety. These measures will reduce gun violence and save lives.
Measure 114, which requires a permit to obtain a firearm and prohibits high-capacity magazines, PASSED because it's clear—people value their lives more than guns 👏🏽 .
When momentum shifts towards gun safety, the influence can affect other states nationally. Local change MATTERS!
Oregon will be safer with the passage of Brady-supported Measure 114.
This successful referendum WILL save lives. #OR#Yeson114@bradybuzz@LiftEveryVoiceO
@BigKenize There are lots of gun owners that voted for Measure 114. Including my entire family. Owning a gun doesn’t mean you think they shouldn’t be regulated.
We can decidedly say that young people and the gun safety movement scored BIG in this election 💪
Despite being outspent by the gun lobby, Measure 114 PASSED! It will require safety training + background check to purchase a firearm and ban high capacity magazines.
GO OREGON 👏
It's official, Measure 114 has passed in #Oregon! This is a HUGE victory for the #GunViolencePrevention movement! Congratulations to everyone who helped make this happen! @VoteYesOn114, you are setting the tone of GVP across the nation & we are so so proud!
What Measure 114 means: #Oregon will close the background loophole, require safety training, & also requires a permit to purchase firearms. It limits the sale of high-capacity magazines & keeps our communities safe by keeping firearms out of dangerous hands.
After a year of horrific mass shootings from Buffalo to Uvalde and far too many more, voters in Oregon implemented comprehensive gun safety reform by passing Measure 114.
