An Oregon bill expanding background checks to encompass nearly all gun
sales in the state made it through the Legislature on Monday, overcoming
obstacles that stymied two previous attempts to pass similar laws.
The measure now heads to Democratic Gov. Kate Brown, who has indicated
support. Her signature would make Oregon the eighth state to require
screening before firearms could be transferred between private,
unrelated owners. No other states have passed such legislation this
year, advocates said.
