Oregon's stringent new voter-approved gun law remains on hold after the state Supreme Court declined to grant an emergency motion request by the state to overturn a lower court's ruling.
."We are confident the Oregon Constitution — like the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution — allows these reasonable regulations."In addition to being one of the strictest gun laws in the nation, other hurdles the law puts in place include an application fee of up to $65, and permit-seekers must provide evidence they are not a danger to themselves or others based on mental status or past behavior.A hearing on Raschio's order is set for Tuesday.
There are four federal lawsuits challenging Measure 114, coinciding with a litany of firearm-related lawsuits filed in various states, such as California and New York, following the Supreme Court's in June, which held any gun ownership restrictions must have a basis rooted in U.S. tradition dating back to the ratification of the Second Amendment.
