Frequently Asked Questions

What was Oregon's Measure 114 and why was it considered the toughest gun law?

Oregon's Measure 114, passed by voters in 2022, mandated a police-issued five-year permit and federal background check for all firearm purchases. It also banned magazines holding more than 10 rounds, making it one of the most restrictive gun control measures in the United States.

Why did a judge strike down Oregon's Measure 114?

Harney County Circuit Judge Robert S. Rashio ruled that Measure 114 violates the Oregon Constitution's right to bear arms. Specifically, the judge found that the permit-to-purchase requirement and the ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds infringe upon this constitutional right.

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

Measure 114 has been permanently blocked from enforcement by a state judge's ruling. While the Oregon Attorney General has vowed to appeal, the measure is considered dead until the appeals process concludes, meaning it will not go into effect.

How does the Oregon Measure 114 ruling compare to other gun law decisions?

The Oregon ruling is seen as part of a trend, similar to a recent Fourth Circuit decision that struck down permit-to-purchase measures in Maryland. Both cases highlight judicial challenges to gun control legislation based on constitutional grounds.
