In a ruling last Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut upheld an Oregon gun restriction.

The ruling concluded that Oregon’s Measure 114 complies with the Second Amendment. The judge claimed it aligns with the U.S. tradition of “regulating uniquely dangerous features of weapons and firearms to protect public safety.”

Measure 114 places a ban on “large-capacity magazines” and mandates a permit for firearm purchases in the state. Existing “large-capacity magazine” owners are restricted from transporting their firearms outside their homes, excluding gun range practice, shooting competitions, or hunting.

The Oregon Firearms Association initially sued, arguing the law’s unconstitutionality. Following the ruling, they expressed their outrage in a website statement. They criticized Judge Immergut’s ruling, claiming it to be “simple nonsense” and foreseeing an overturn at the 9th circuit.

Immergut, according to the association, demonstrated a “painful ignorance” and was influenced by Oregon’s left-leaning Department of Justice. They questioned her decision-making process, considering the facts weren’t in her favor.

The Oregon law is one among several contentious gun control bills nationwide, such as Illinois’ struggling assault weapons ban.

Judge Immergut, a Donald Trump appointee, justified Measure 114’s constitutionality by considering the historical context.

“Magazines are an accessory to firearms, rather than a specific type of firearm,” she wrote.

“At the time of the Second Amendment’s ratification through to the late nineteenth century, firearm accessories like cartridge boxes – which held ammunition but, unlike modern magazines, did not feed the ammunition into firearms – were not considered ‘arms’ but instead were considered ‘accouterments,’” the ruling said.

The law forbids the sale and transfer of ammunition magazines holding over 10 rounds.

It also closes the so-called “Charleston Loophole,” preventing default gun purchases after three days without a completed background check. The law requires state police to conduct background checks before approving a gun sale or transfer.

Passed in November, the measure has encountered multiple legal challenges. The NRA’s legislative arm dubbed it “the nation’s most extreme gun control initiative.”

As always, stay tuned for updates.
