Oregon appeals court says voter-approved gun law is constitutional, reversing lower court ruling

The Oregon Court of Appeals ruled that Oregon's Measure 114 is constitutional, reversing a lower court's decision that had kept it on hold for over two years.
The court stated that the restriction on large-capacity magazines is a response to public safety concerns due to technological advancements.
The appellate court noted that the permit-to-purchase program and background checks do not constitute a total ban on obtaining firearms for self-defense.
Presiding Judge Darlene Ortega emphasized that all of Measure 114 is facially constitutional under the state constitution.
