Oregon Sheriffs Defy Voters, Refuse to Enforce New Gun-Control Measure – By Khaleda Rahman (Newsweek) / Nov 16, 2022
A number of Oregon sheriffs have said they will not enforce Measure 114, a gun-control law narrowly passed by voters in the midterm elections on November 8.
The legislation requires a permit from law enforcement for people to purchase firearms.
Applicants would need to complete an approved, in-person firearm safety course, pay a fee, provide personal information, submit to fingerprinting and photographing, and pass a federal criminal background check to qualify for a permit. These would be processed by local police chiefs, county sheriffs or their designees.
The measure also bans large-capacity magazines over 10 rounds, except in some circumstances, and creates a statewide firearms database.
