A voter-approved Oregon gun control law violates the state constitution, a judge ruled Tuesday, continuing to block it from taking effect and casting fresh doubt over the future of the embattled measure.

The law requires people to undergo a criminal background check and complete a gun safety training course in order to obtain a permit to buy a firearm. It also bans high-capacity magazines.

The plaintiffs in the federal case, which include the Oregon Firearms Federation, have appealed the ruling to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The case could potentially go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

    Except even during the most destructive and violent of BLM riots had armed participants, the pro civil rights people continued to stand by gun rights. You’ve been proven wrong and too ignorant to realize it, or too dishonest to admit it.

      Oh, it was BLM doing the violence? It wasn’t the pigs and their neo-nazi proxies?

      pro civil rights people

      Oh, it’s the white supremacists that are “pro-civil rights”, is it?

      I think you’ve just unmasked yourself, fashboi.
