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.

    your only solution to all this is to disarm the people most likely to be targeted by these fascists?

    Do you have a head injury? My solution is to not arm the white supremacists, even if it inconveniences gun owners.

    Meanwhile, your solution is to enthusiastically arm white supremacists over and over again and when they gun down as many, blame the victims for not carrying a gun with them at all times.

    How is anyone supposed to believe you’re not a white supremacist or simp to the gun lobby?

    I guess it’s true what they say… the only thing fascism really needs to flourish is a bunch of liberals to furrow the ground for them.

    They seem to be flourishing well enough with their AR-15s and your no-strings-attached support.

    If you have the solution, why isn’t it solved? Go out and shoot somebody and fix it.

      Feel free to explain how you will be disarming white supremacism’s most enduring institution - ie, the police.

      Meanwhile, your solution is to enthusiastically arm white supremacists over and over again

      They are already armed - to the teeth. They are literally armed with your tax dollars.
