In a ruling last Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut upheld an Oregon gun restriction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ruling concluded that Oregon’s Measure 114<\/a> complies with the Second Amendment. The judge claimed it aligns with the U.S. tradition of “regulating uniquely dangerous features of weapons and firearms to protect public safety.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measure 114 places a ban on “large-capacity magazines” and mandates a permit for firearm purchases in the state. Existing “large-capacity magazine” owners are restricted from transporting their firearms outside their homes, excluding gun range practice, shooting competitions, or hunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oregon Firearms Association initially sued, arguing the law’s unconstitutionality. Following the ruling, they expressed their outrage in a website statement<\/a>. They criticized Judge Immergut’s ruling, claiming it to be “simple nonsense” and foreseeing an overturn at the 9th circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immergut, according to the association, demonstrated a “painful ignorance” and was influenced by Oregon’s left-leaning Department of Justice. They questioned her decision-making process, considering the facts weren’t in her favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oregon law is one among several contentious gun control bills nationwide, such as Illinois’ struggling assault weapons ban<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
