House Bill ignites National Gun Debate

State Representative John Huffman of The Dalles says he's received about 500 to 600 emails against a house bill backed by "Ceasefire Oregon." 

 

Housebill 3200 was introduced on Friday and conservative website "Breitbart-dot-com"  quickly posted a headline that read "Oregon Drafts Invasive Gun Law."

 

Huffman says even without all of these emails he was already against the bill - he says besides infringing of people's rights it also wouldn't solve any problems.  

 

He *is* supporting another gun bill that calls for a 250 dollar tax credit for gun owners who buy safes for their guns. 

 

Even the chief sponsor of the controversial housebill says his bill as introduced goes too far.  Democrat Mitch Greenlich of Portland says in its current form it's a pretty "flawed bill" and he'll make big changes to it if continues to move forward.
