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.

Presiding Judge Darlene Ortega emphasized that all of Measure 114 is facially constitutional under the state constitution.
