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.

    No, the firearms act is the thing that distinguished. It is not itself the justification for distinguishing.

    Right now all you’re saying is “because that’s the law”. I want to know why you think that’s how the ought to be

        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
