Breaking news: Judge denies restraining order request for Ballot Measure 114

Judge denies temporary restraining order request.
From the Oregon Firearms Federation (the major party in one of the four suits challenging the constitutionality of Ballot Measure 114 regarding gun control:

“Early this morning we were notified that Judge Karin Immergut has denied our motion to delay the implementation of Ballot Measure 114.

“She did agree with the state’s request to delay the permitting process for 30 days. A process the state assured the court will be ready by Thursday.

“That will provide no protection for anyone who currently owns a standard capacity magazine or anyone who owns a common shotgun which will now be contraband.

“It also does nothing for anyone waiting to take possession of a firearm they paid for but have not received, if that gun comes with a standard magazine.

“Furthermore, come Thursday even security guards and off duty police will be breaking the law if they are in possession of a standard magazine.

“This is a lengthy (and obviously disappointing) decision and we will have more information soon. But for now, unless something really unexpected happens, understand that your rights will be, once again, seriously eroded starting Thursday.”

Regarding the section above on common shotguns, OFF says “Almost all shotguns with tubular magazines are capable of holding over 10 “mini-shells” making them contraband.”
