A federal judge in Portland, Oregon, ruled Tuesday that a new voter\u002Dpassed ban on high\u002Dcapacity gun magazines can go into effect Thursday
U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, however, did not prevent the permit-to-purchase mandate from taking effect once the permitting system was worked out, according to the ruling. Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum had filed papers with the court late Sunday seeking a delay in the implementation of the permitting mandate after law enforcement agencies submitted sworn statements saying they could not be ready in time.
Tuesday’s ruling is far from the end of the legal wrangling over the new law; at least four lawsuits have been filed against it. And Immergut’s decision only addresses an initial temporary restraining order and injunction sought by gun rights plaintiffs while its constitutionality is being debated by the courts.
Instead, judges should only weigh whether the law is “consistent with the Second Amendment’s text and historical understanding.” “This is not an abstract exercise — when a judge strikes down a gun law, they are putting our lives in danger. Bruen may have opened the door to extremism, but it does not close the door to gun safety and states can and should continue to pass common sense gun safety laws. And we’re ready to go to court to defend them,” Eric Tirschwell, executive director of Everytown Law, said in a statement, referring to the June decision.
Under Oregon’s new law, the ban on the sale, import or transfer of magazines over 10 rounds unless they are owned by law enforcement or a military member or were owned before the measure’s passage has been the biggest legal flash point. Those who already own high-capacity magazines can only possess them in their homes or use them at a firing range, in shooting competitions or for hunting as allowed by state law after the measure takes effect.
