Oregon Sheriffs Defy Voters, Refuse to Enforce New Gun-Control Measure

[DigitalDrifter]

We will be working hard to get this NEW law overturned in the courts. In the meantime, bravo to these Sheriffs!!

A number of Oregon sheriffs have said they will not enforce Measure 114, a gun-control law narrowly passed by voters in the midterm elections on November 8.
The legislation requires a permit from law enforcement for people to purchase firearms.

Applicants would need to complete an approved, in-person firearm safety course, pay a fee, provide personal information, submit to fingerprinting and photographing, and pass a federal criminal background check to qualify for a permit. These would be processed by local police chiefs, county sheriffs or their designees.

Looks like all 36 county Sheriffs of that state.

Looks like all 36 county Sheriffs of that state.

And all elected by the people.

The socialist city states hate, I mean absolutely hate elected Sheriffs in the counties the cities are in and try their best to get them folded into the city apparatus.

The Left will need to replace all the Sheriffs with their brown shirt woke cult.

Just not enough time in the day.

Yep. These are Constitutional elected offices in that state and the many counties. They got a duty and a right to make sure this could, would, or would not pass constitutional muster before they start enforcing. This should automatically trigger a court challenge, by their action. It is one of those states, where hard to predict, but I would suppose the challenge would be in Federal, not state court.

I swear, this state has simply fallen off a cliff. Here's the measure that passed.

Oregon passes Measure 114, one of strictest gun control measures in U.S.​

Oregon voters passed one of the country’s strictest gun control measures, a long-sought goal of a grassroots faith-based campaign.


Partial returns tallied as of 11:15 p.m. showed Measure 114 leading 51% to 49%.


Most of the votes left to be tallied were in Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties, all favoring or heavily favoring the measure.


The measure will require Oregonians to obtain a permit to buy a gun after completing a firearms safety course and would ban the sale or transfer of magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

Thank you.
This election was especially a disaster in this state.

I was listening to a rep from this organization talking about how they are going to be filing a lawsuit to try and get this thrown out.

Every law enforcement officer is duty-bound to refuse to enforce unconstitutional laws that violate peoples' civil rights. This is a good start.

While definitely a step in the right direction... How will this help the citizen if state law requires you have this documentation to purchase a firearm? The store will still not sell it to you. Or am I missing something here?

Why do you think they began to attack the police in 2015....they know that cops in general are conservative and support the Right to own and carry guns........so the democrats need to drive normal people out of the job so they can then fill the ranks with party brown shirts who don't enforce the law, but simply protect the party.

Unnencessary and ineffective restrictions on the exercise of a right held by the law abiding are never a step in the right direction.

I support the Sherrifs actions. But at the user end... If the State requires this documentation for the purchase of a firearm; how does this help the citizen? The store still will refuse to sell the gun. Or people will simply go without, having no means of securing the documentation required.

Never mind - i see what you're saying.

The Sheriff's won't enforce the magazine limitations.

The Sheriff's won't enforce the magazine limitations.

Which are, in and of themselves, virtually unenforceable.
