2nd Amendment sanctuary measure overturned in Oregon

[EvilEyeFleegle]

They can't make a law saying local law enforcement can't enforce state law, but local law enforcement doesn't have to enforce the law.

Has far as Federal law, not state or local govt official has to enforce federal law...

Totally correct..hence the legality of immigration Sanctuary cities..they need not enforce Federal law~

So much for local yokels setting gun policies:

Local governments in Oregon can’t declare themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries and ban police from enforcing certain gun laws, a state appeals court decided Wednesday, in the first court case filed over a concept that hundreds of U.S. counties have adopted in recent years.
The measure in question, which was approved in Columbia County, forbids local officials from enforcing most federal and state gun laws and would impose thousands of dollars in fines on those who try.
The state Court of Appeals ruled that it violates a law giving the state the power to regulate firearms. The ordinance would effectively, it found, “create a ‘patchwork quilt’ of firearms laws in Oregon, where firearms regulations that applied in some counties would not apply in Columbia County,” something lawmakers specifically wanted to avoid.
Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions have been adopted by some 1,200 local governments around the U.S., including in Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, Illinois and Florida, experts say. Many are symbolic, but some carry legal force like the one in Columbia County, a conservative, rural logging area in deep-blue Oregon.
The sanctuary movement took off around 2018 as states considered stricter gun laws in the wake of mass shootings, but it had not previously faced a major legal challenge.
The Oregon case was filed in 2021 under a provision in state law that allows a judge to examine a measure before it goes into effect. A trial court judge originally declined to rule, a decision that was appealed to the higher court.

Oregon is a leftist Soviet state……but these patriots tried for freedom…….

Hmmm...point being missed a bit, I think. This ruling ultimately is more about forbidding local municipalities from exercising a bit of sovereignty, as it were. They cannot make laws abrogating State and Federal law and/or mandating legal sanctions for enforcement of said laws. Also, the lil town of Podunkville does not get to decide on constitutional issues.
Given the location..the gun issue was moot all along, I think.

Several Dem-controlled states spat in Trump's face and wiped their asses with the Constitution when they named themselves "sanctuaries" over immigration. Hundreds of individual counties have used that precedent to tell DC to F**k themselves over 2A infringement. It doesn't change Federal laws, it just forces the Feds to enforce them without ANY local help.
