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.
Okay. Australia confiscated 650,000 guns after Port Arthur. Australians currently own around 3.6 million firearms. Legally. 4 for each Australian. Americans own 393 million. Australians have currently .009% of the guns Americans have.
Now circle back and consider that there are 393 million firearms in the US. Most of which never required a permit, just a background check. In private sales of long guns in most states, no background check was even required. Law enforcement has no idea who owns the guns. Now couple that with a gun culture of “from my cold dead hands”.
We are not Australia. Nothing short of full scale military intervention could disarm the American public.
You’re an uneducated child spewing idiocy because it makes you feel ideologically superior. Go sit down.
Wow you really showed me there. That was fun.
Maybe some day someone less uneducated than me will check your slightly suspicious numbers, but it won’t be me.
I sit down happily knowing the chance of me getting shot to death are pretty slim, you keep standing tall big guy.
