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.

    What I think is totally irrelevant. I’m not a lawyer or a judge. All I can tell you is the way it is, if you don’t LIKE that, there is a path to change it, talk to your legislators about writing a new law.

      but I’m asking you. You can’t answer the question? Or choose not to? You think there’s no value in discussing these issues and trying to get people to agree? That’s how you get like-minded people elected, my dude.

      Unless you’re saying nothing anyone can say will ever change your opinion on this issue. Which would be an end to any and all conversation

        I’m not answering the question because my answer literally does not matter. The facts are the facts, you can choose like them or not, but that doesn’t make them not facts.

          Got it. You literally are incapable of having your own opinions because you think they “don’t matter”. We have nothing more to talk about. Peace ✌️

              Then next time just say “no” instead of pretending like you have some winning argument for a question that’s not being asked.
