Quote:A bill set to appear in the Legislature this year would require Oregonians to obtain a permit before buying a gun, limit the amount of ammunition a person could buy, outlaw magazines with a capacity of more than five rounds and create gun locking and storage requirements.

The bill came from Students for Change, a group of Lake Oswego teens formed last year after the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. They lobbied lawmakers and Gov. Kate Brown last year and pledged to come back this year with a legislative proposal.

Rep. Andrea Salinas, D-Lake Oswego, and Sen. Rob Wagner, D- Tualatin, submitted Senate Bill 501 on their behalf.

"What we told them is that this is your movement, and we want to support you as representatives," Wagner said.

Wagner said the students did all the research for the bill and he hasn't looked much into its constitutionality.

Quote:The ban wouldn't apply to law enforcement officers or military members who need larger magazines for official duties.

Other restrictions in the bill include:

Capping at 20 the number of rounds of ammunition a person could receive in a 30-day period, exempting shooting ranges.
Requiring firearms be stored with a trigger or cable lock or in a locked container when not carried or within reach of the gun's owner.
Gun owners would be required to report the loss of a firearm within 24 hours.

Quote: Section 27. Right to bear arms; military subordinate to civil power. The people shall have the right to bear arms for the defence [sic] of themselves, and the State, but the Military shall be kept in strict subordination to the civil power
