Opinion
“…the State of Oregon has criminalized one of the most common and important means by which its citizens can exercise their fundamental right of self-defense. By banning the manufacture, importation, possession, use, purchase, sale, or transfer of standard-capacity magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds the State has barred law-abiding, peaceable residents from legally acquiring or possessing common ammunition magazines and deprived them of an effective means of self-defense.” ~ SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut said.
We want to bring you an update on our ongoing efforts to overturn Judge Karin Immergut’s absurd and unconstitutional ruling.
As you know, she declared Measure 114, which will essentially end firearm sales in Oregon and make criminals out of everyone who owns standard magazines (a fundamental firearm component), constitutional.
We are very fortunate that a state judge in Harney County reached a very different and far more rational conclusion and placed an injunction against this obscene attack on our rights.
Needless to say, the state will continue to spend millions of your dollars to reverse that decision, no matter how ridiculous and laughable their arguments may be.
As we have reported, we are appealing Immergut’s ruling. However, in what should come as no surprise, the openly anti-gun 9th Circuit has bowed to Oregon’s ruling leftist cabal and agreed to delay dealing with our appeal until after it decides a California case, Duncan et al. v Bonta.
While the pretext for this delay is the “conservation of judicial resources,” the reality is that the cases are different enough that this is clearly just a tactic to delay addressing this vicious attack on the Second Amendment. No doubt the plan is to push these decisions back as far as possible while hoping that the Biden administration will have the chance to stack the Supreme Court with more judges who cannot define what a woman is.
You can read the court’s order here.
We strongly believe that no matter what games Oregon’s laughably named “Department of Justice” and the 9th Circuit play, we will ultimately prevail.
But for now, Merry Christmas.

Oregon and the rest of the West Coast are toast. The entire western u.s. coastline is overwhelmingly inhabited by far left mental midgets. We must all be careful lest these cretins infest our states and set in motion a West Coast style tyrannical State.
A woman doesn’t have a penis… I know that is a fact. And she never did. And there are only 2 sexes. I live in Oregon… its bad, but we have better gun laws and a better Oregon Constitution than the rest of the libtard states to the north and south. The Oregon Supreme Court isn’t going to rule against us. We have a constitution problem. ( you can have those nasty guns liberals hate). The 9th Circus… they are a rogue District.. thumbing their noses at the Supreme Court… its possible we’ll have to wait things out… It you… Read more »
Thank you for OFF fighting against this outlandish law that Oregoneistanians were allowed to vote on regarding my 2nd amendment right. The whole thing is unconstitutional. My 2nd amendment right is not a privilege and cannot be allowed to be changed by someone’s vote. It’s all BOVINE EXCREMENT. Republicans like guns, most democraps dont. Being able to vote on this would be equal to the people being able to vote on a law that would say, democRATS cannot speak in the senate or house in Oregoneistan but republicans can say anything and as much as they want. My gun is… Read more »
