Oregon Judge holds gun control law (Measure 114) from taking effect

An Oregon state court judge placed a hold on the state’s strict new voter-approved gun control measure late Tuesday, only hours after a federal court judge allowed a ban on the sale and transfer of high-capacity magazines to go into effect.

Now, Harney County Judge Robert Raschio’s ruling muddies the waters on the implementation of Measure 114, which was set to go into effect Thursday. Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum vowed to appeal the matter straight to the state Supreme Court (Washington Examiner).

"What’s next? We will petition to the Oregon Supreme Court ASAP, seeking to align the result in our state courts with the federal court’s well-reasoned and thoughtful decision (Ellen Rosenblum: Twitter)."

Last month, when the measure looked to pass, some members of law enforcement in Oregon said that they would not enforce aspects of it (Townhall).
