A recent ruling in Montgomery v. Rosenbloom has denied an injunction against Oregon's House Bill 20005, meaning the law banning unserialized, undetectable, and untraceable firearms, as well as unfinished frames and receivers, will go into effect on September 1st. The court determined that these types of firearms are not protected by the Second Amendment as they are not in common use by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes. This ruling places Oregonians under a strict time crunch to serialize any firearms that fall under the bill's purview before the September 1st deadline.
