The latest update on Oregon’s Proposition 114, also known as the Reduction of Gun Violence Act, is that the Oregon Court of Appeals has upheld the measure’s constitutionality. However, the law is currently on hold due to procedural rules that give the challengers 35 days to seek further appellate review of the decision. The court’s ruling affirms the legality of Measure 114, which requires a permit to purchase or acquire a firearm and bans the sale, transfer, and importation of magazines that can hold more than ten rounds. The law is similar to the permit requirements in 14 other states and Washington D.C.

Harney County Circuit Judge Robert Raschio issued a preliminary injunction blocking parts of the measure (including the magazine ban) based on arguments that it violates Oregon’s Constitution.  Opponents have 35 days to seek further appellate review (i.e., to appeal this Appeals Court decision to the Oregon Supreme Court). Until that window passes and any potential Supreme Court decision is resolved, the law still isn’t in effect.
