It looks like the amendment has been changed, addressing most of the problems you have brought up. reworded amendment here
But I don't support this bill and view it as an attempt to clear the way for more restrictive legislation in the future. We'll have to agree to disagree. Or not agree and disagree anyway.
Your link didn't work for me but I found this: http://www.oregonfirearms.org/update-on-amendments-to-anti-gun-bill
This amended amendment is a lot better than the original but it still has problems:
- Prohibited persons can just shop around until they find someone that doesn't require the background check
- Who is liable for future sales of the gun? I sell to a trusted friend, who sells to a trusted friend, who runs into financial trouble and sells to a prohibited person. Are we both liable? Is it just me because I show up on the 4470 as the original owner? How do a prove that I didn't sell the gun directly to the prohibited person?
