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.
Gonna need some sources on those home invasion stats. I have no horse in this race–it’s not my state–but anybody who says it takes more than ten shots to stop an attacker is going to have to show me something to bulk up their credibility. I’m not going to just take your word on that. Even assuming the stat were technically true, if you can’t stop a home intruder in ten shots, the magazine isn’t the problem.
Also the car dealership analogy doesn’t hold up, as, in fact, you must show proof that you have passed a legally required test before you will be allowed to test drive a car. It’s not an outrageous requirement.
Finally, in what universe is a 30 round AR specifically designed for personal defense?
