Legal pile-on: Anti-gun Measure 114 faces court hearing and new lawsuit

The temperatures may be falling, but the legal fight over Oregon’s newest gun control is heating up.

With less than a week to go before Measure 114 is set to take effect, U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut (appointed to the bench by Donald Trump in 2019) will hold an emergency hearing today on a request for an injunction blocking the ballot measure’s magazine ban and “permit-to-purchase” law from being enforced starting on December 8th.

Meanwhile, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, along with the NRA, its Oregon affiliate, and several individual plaintiffs, have filed the third legal challenge to the new laws.
