Another Lawsuit Filed Against Oregon for Most Restrictive Gun Law in the Country<\/a><\/p>\n

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), Oregon State Shooting Association (OSSA), and Mazama Sporting Goods filed a lawsuit against the state\u2019s recently passed Ballot Measure 114, which is considered one of the strictest gun control laws in the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The lawsuit claims that the measure infringes upon the right of Oregon residents to buy and own firearms, imposing \u201csevere and unprecedented burdens on individuals seeking to exercise perhaps the most basic right guaranteed by the Second Amendment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the third lawsuit filed since November 8, which was filed by the Oregon Firearms Federation (OFF), Sherman County Sheriff\u2019s Department, Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), and Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe deficiencies in this ballot measure cannot go unaddressed. Forget that it is scheduled to go into effect before Oregon even certifies the election, but it requires potential gun owners to take a class that has yet to be created, at a cost yet to be determined, so that they can obtain a permit that doesn\u2019t permit them to purchase a firearm,\u201d NRA Oregon state director Aoibheann Cline said in a statement to the Daily Caller.<\/p>\n

The strict measure will require residents to get background checks, firearm training (which does not currently exist), fingerprint collection, and a permit to purchase any firearm.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit also alleges that the measure creates a \u201cKafkaesque regime\u201d which they claim is not supported by history, tradition, or modern regulation.<\/p>\n

\u201cOregon\u2019s Measure 114 is blatantly unconstitutional,\u201d NSSF\u2019s Senior Vice President and General Counsel Lawrence G. Keane\u00a0said,\u00a0<\/a>adding \u201cthe right to keep and bear arms begins with the ability of law-abiding citizens to be able to obtain a firearm through a lawful purchase at a firearm retailer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He also said that it threatens the most constitutional right\u2026 \u201cOregon has created an impossible-to-navigate labyrinth that will achieve nothing except to deny Second Amendment rights to its citizens. The measure is an affront to civil liberties which belong to People, not to the state to grant on impossible and subjective criteria,\u201d Keane added.<\/p>\n

The state has rushed to pass the measure, meaning no one will be able to buy a firearm beginning on December 8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
