Gun Gripes #340: "Oregon Ballot Measure 114"

Oregon's Measure 114, which mandates background checks and permits for firearm purchases and bans larger capacity magazines, has been upheld by the Court of Appeals. This ruling reverses a previous judicial declaration that the measure violated the state constitution. While the measure will not be implemented immediately, its future is still uncertain as further appeals are possible. The legal challenges extend to the federal level as well.

The video discusses the critical status of the Duncan v. Bonta magazine capacity ban challenge before the Supreme Court. Recent developments, including the en banc rehearing granted in Benson v. United States (DC's magazine ban case) and a letter from California AG Rob Bonta to the Supreme Court, have significantly complicated Duncan's chances of being accepted for review. The DC case's reversal means a key supporting precedent for Duncan has been vacated, and Bonta's letter aims to further dissuade the Supreme Court from taking up Duncan.

A federal appeals court upheld the District of Columbia's ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds in Hansen v. District of Columbia. While the majority ruled against the Second Amendment, the dissent by Judge Justin Walker, citing Mark Smith's scholarship, argued that such magazines are in common use and protected. The decision's analysis of historical analogues and the 'in common use' test has implications for future Second Amendment cases, including the upcoming Snope case.
