Christine Drazan on Gun Control

	Christine Drazan on Gun Control

Oppose Measure 114: we have enough gun laws already

Talk about guns was keyed partly to a recent shooting incident in Bend and partly to Measure 114, which if the voters pass it in November would mandate permitting and safety training before purchasing a gun. Kotek endorsed it, and noted that both of her opponents had top ratings from the NRA.

The other candidates were opposed. Drazan said that Oregon has enough gun legislation at present, and Johnson argued about release of some violent prison inmates, but appeared to oppose further gun restrictions.

If a gun ban bill comes my way, I'll veto that

Senate Bill 554 broadened a ban on guns in public buildings and opened the door for additional restrictions. Drazan said that she would veto any bills that infringed on Second Amendment rights if elected governor. However, unless the courts overturn SB554, it would remain the law.

"The governor has got to live within the scope of the governor's authority," Drazan said. "And if there's a gun bill that comes my way, I'll veto that."
