A voter-approved Oregon gun control law violates the state constitution, a judge ruled Tuesday, continuing to block it from taking effect and casting fresh doubt over the future of the embattled measure.

The law requires people to undergo a criminal background check and complete a gun safety training course in order to obtain a permit to buy a firearm. It also bans high-capacity magazines.

The plaintiffs in the federal case, which include the Oregon Firearms Federation, have appealed the ruling to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The case could potentially go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

      I’m not sure how you think I’m describing stochastic terrorism or inciting a riot other than to conclude you are being intentionally obtuse. Good day, Sir.

        You argued the 1st amendment freedom of speech can’t end up getting people killed, I cited a current example where it very much did.
