High school students have helped author an Oregon bill that would limit magazines capacities and even put a cap on the number of rounds a citizen can buy within a 30-day period, reported Fox 12.
Hunters and target shooters are just some of the law-abiding gun owners that feel their Second Amendment rights are being infringed upon. The potential bill would ban magazines that held more than 5 rounds and would also prevent citizens from purchasing more than 20 rounds within a month.
A background check would also be required for the purchase of ammunition, and gun owners would have strict regulations on how to keep their guns stored and locked.
Gun owners are in agreement that the government is coming for their guns. If this law passes, current owners of firearms that did not meet the requirements would be forced to sell the guns, destroy them, transfer them or turn them over to law enforcement within 180 days.
