In 2022, Oregon voters passed citizens initiative Measure 114 which establishes in State law a permit to purchase firearms system and bans future sales of high capacity magazines over 10 rounds. The new law was blocked by a Harney County judge ruling it violates the Oregon Constitution. The Oregon Attorney General has now filed an appeal of that decision with the Oregon Court of Appeals. The State argues that the law meets the test of the Oregon Constitution because it establishes reasonable measures to help prevent gun violence and protect public safety but does not prevent gun ownership for the purpose of self defense. GOFRO has joined a number of gun violence prevention organizations in support of the State’s brief.
