Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current status of Oregon's Measure 114 magazine ban?

Oregon's Measure 114, which banned magazines holding more than 10 rounds and required a permit to purchase firearms, was permanently struck down in its entirety by an Oregon state court. The state's appeal to halt this decision was denied by the Oregon Court of Appeals.

How do state and federal court challenges to Measure 114 differ?

The state court challenge resulted in a permanent injunction against Measure 114. A parallel federal challenge has been put on hold by the Ninth Circuit, awaiting a decision in a separate, related case (Duncan v. Bonta), making the state court's ruling currently more impactful.

What legal standard is being applied to the Measure 114 challenge in Oregon state court?

Oregon state courts apply a two-phase test under the Oregon State Constitution. This involves determining if the items in question are considered 'arms' protected by the constitution, and then balancing the public's interest against the burden on constitutional rights.

What were the main arguments presented by the State of Oregon in the Court of Appeals regarding Measure 114?

The State of Oregon argued that the lower court's decision should be reversed because Measure 114 is a facial challenge and is reasonable for preventing public harm. They also contended that the Court of Appeals is not required to follow the lower court's fact findings regarding the measure's public interest.
