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.

Thank you I guess. The dispassionate very long posts make people not want to ask you what you think because it doesn’t get our hearts racing I suppose. It also very much feels like you are defending and therefore encouraging the status quo by shooting down, pun intended, everyone’s suggestions by quoting established precedent, which we now know means nothing. So it follows that we assume you like things as they stand now whether that is true or not. Why not offer your suggestions much much earlier? No one else is waiting to be asked what they think.
Why are red flags laws acceptable but licensing and permitting isn’t? Why are all guns not classified as “destructive devices”. That is their intended purpose. Why isn’t a “basic gun” only single round rifles?

The left needs to spend money. That’s what this all boils down to to me.

As written today most red flag laws do not grant due process and will likely be struck down for violation of the 5th ammendment before 2nd amendment arguments are even considered.
