 “Measure 114 will save lives.” - Antoinnette Edwards, community leader |  “Ask any nurse and they will tell you how heartbreaking it is to bear witness, again and again, to this preventable pain and loss. Those of us here on the front lines of health care urge you, please, support Measure 114 as a significant step forward on gun violence.” - Oregon Nurses Association |  “Fully 70% of the people who are killed by gun violence in the Portland area are Black, Indigenous and People of Color. I’m voting yes on Measure 114 because I know it will help reduce gun violence in our communities.” - State Representative Khahn Pham |
 “As a school board member, and as a parent, there is nothing more important to me than the safety of our kids at school. Every time there is a new school shooting, it’s heartbreaking to know that simple things like requiring permits, banning large-capacity magazines, and completed background checks could have saved young lives.” - Carrie McPherson Douglass, Bend-LaPine School Board Member |  “We are gun owners who believe that with rights come responsibilities. Firearms can be useful tools for hunting, target shooting and very rarely for personal protection. We believe part of responsible gun ownership is supporting common-sense rules like Measure 114 that seek to keep our fellow citizens and families safe from gun violence.” - Paul Kemp & Tom O’Connor, Co-Founders |  |
 |  |  “It is time for Oregon voters to take a stand to keep our schools and communities safe.” - Rev. Dr. Walter John Knutson, III |
