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.

    Yes, the ones that come after major reforms to training and accountability, that you haven’t shot your way to, despite insisting that it’s not just possible, but ideal.

      Do tell… how do you “reform” something that is working as intended?

        It’s cool, we don’t need to, because you’re going to shoot the problem better with your guns, the moment you’ve finished letting the internet know how tough and cool you are.

        Probably safe to leave it for a few more summary executions of minorities and domestic terrorist attacks trageting children though right?
