Oregonians have joined nationwide rallies for stricter gun regulations, with advocacy groups using the opportunity to collect petition signatures to radically change the state’s gun laws.

If petitioners gather and submit at least 112,800 signatures by July 12, two initiatives could be placed on the Nov. 7 ballot for voters to adopt or reject.
