Oregon Supreme Court OKs language in gun control proposal
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Oregon's highest court certified the language of a gun control proposal aimed for the November ballot.

The Oregon Supreme Court announced the certification Monday, meaning supporters of the proposal can start collecting signatures. To qualify for the ballot, petitioners must obtain more than 88,000 valid ones by July 6.

Named "Oregonians for Safe Gun Storage and Reporting Lost/Stolen Firearms," the proposal would require gun owners to secure their weapons with trigger locks or other mechanisms when they aren't in use or being carried. Violators of the law could face fines of up to $2,000 and would be liable for any injury caused by an unlawfully unlocked weapon, excluding self-defense situations.
Looks like the next ballot initiative the Oregon SC will uphold is for an AWB and mag ban, which is discussed in this thread: Oregon AWB passes first hurdle
