Gun rights advocates secured a victory on Dec. 15 when an Oregon circuit court judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking the state’s voter-passed restrictions that would require a permit to purchase firearms and institute a ban on “large-capacity” magazines, among other things.
Harney County Circuit Court Judge Robert S. Raschio ruled that certain restrictions in Ballot Measure 114, which was passed by Oregon voters on Nov. 8, “unduly frustrate the right to bear arms” under Oregon’s Constitution.
