Oregon’s new, disastrous gun-control package, known as Ballot Measure 114<\/a>, was due to go into effect this week. The initiative ballot measure, passed narrowly in November, seeks to create some of the most stringent gun-control laws in the country in what had previously been a surprisingly balanced gun-law state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bans of standard-capacity magazines containing more than 10 rounds, the creation of a Permit-to-Purchase system (for which the criteria and infrastructure have yet to even be created), and a provision requiring that background checks are complete before a firearm is transferred (closing the so-called “Charleston Loophole<\/a>“) are among some of the more-objectionable provisions of the new law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proponents billed 114 as a life-saving “gun safety” suite of controls but in reality, these measures merely threaten to create thousands of overnight criminals out of every day, lawful Oregon residents, and a mass of uncertainty and confusion for everyone from the average citizen, to local police departments and sheriffs offices who will bear the brunt of developing, organizing, and issuing the permits people will now be required to purchase to exercise 2A rights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the merits of a citizen’s initiative ballot system can be debated, developments today show the clear folly of the drafting and adoption of Measure 114 – within no less than three hours, one federal lawsuit heard in Portland initially gave the go-ahead for portions of the law to go into effect<\/a> by U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut, only to have the law sidelined temporarily by state circuit court Judge Robert Raschio<\/a> in Harney County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Immergut’s ruling, she wrote that the magazine ban could proceed, but granted a state-requested 30-day delay to the permit requirement after state Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum’s office acknowledged<\/a> that the criteria and training requirements for the permits do not currently exist. Her ruling also denied temporary restraining orders for the magazine capacity limit and additional background check portions of the measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
