It was stupid that the "boyfriend loophole" existed in the first place. People who don't understand what they are writing into law, writing laws. It's not a bad law in concept, it's the interpretation that allows for problems.
The draft you are referring to is the scary one. Though it is only in draft form now and doesn't yet have the signatures from citizens to go to the voters yet, it only requires a 1000 signatures to get on the ballot. And in Portlandia alone, they probably won't have a tough time getting the 1000. Population over 1million.
The part about registering and keeping a registry is particularly interesting. Oregon has had a law that specifically requires the state police to delete information about background checks, I think it's after a specific amount of time. Wonder if they actually have kept up on that?
The definitions they use for this are pretty ridiculous and wreak of Frankenstein's ineptitude on firearms.
IMO, I believe this one will fail to get enough votes to pass. It goes too far for that kind of support from voters. When laws start talking about registering what's not, turning in, selling or confiscations, people get worried and won't support it.
