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.

    This is nothing more then a marketing campaign by the gun lobby to sell bullshit hero fantasies to left wing people too.

    “The pig” killed 34 members of the Black Panther Party, including outright assassinations.

    When the full details of the FBI involvment was revealed, the director of the agency issued a public apology for “wrongful use of power” and exactly 0 members of the pro-gun community used their guns to overthrow a government running projects like COINTELPRO.

    The BPP being armed didn’t just fail to deliver on everything you’re promising, it provided all the justification the state needed to abuse and murder them – an excuse police still use to this day.
