ILLINOIS
Protect Illinois Communities Act was signed into law on January 10, 2023. It included an assault weapons ban and limit on large capacity and rapid fire devices.
RHODE ISLAND
Federal Judge Upholds Rhode Island’s High-Capacity Gun Magazine Ban. ‘Consistent with its obligation to protect public safety, but consonant with its fealty to the Constitution, the Rhode Island General Assembly has responded with, among other firearms regulations, the [large capacity magazine] Ban.’
OREGON
Oregon voters passed Measure 114 on November 8th, a long-sought goal of Ceasefire Oregon and partners. The measure will require Oregonians to obtain a permit to buy a gun after completing a firearms safety course and would ban the sale or transfer of magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. It will also close the Charleston loophole by requiring state police to complete full background checks on buyers with permits before any gun sale or transfer.
