According to the OSAA&#8217;s guidance to county sheriffs, the FBI&#8217;s refusal to conduct\u2062 background checks for the new law means that no enforcement officer can issue a permit to \u2064purchase a weapon as required by the measure. This would be considered a crime, as stated in the legal guidance.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the OSAA has advised sheriffs that \u200cthe\u200c possession of virtually all firearm magazines will be\u200d banned under the new law. \u200dAnyone found in possession of these magazines could face arrest, including off-duty \u200bpolice officers.<\/p>\n<h2>Related Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n      <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/oregon-gun-law-clears-federal-trial-now-being-argued-in-state-court-5494273?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><\/p>\n<h3>Oregon Gun Law Clears Federal Trial, Now Being Argued in State Court<\/h3>\n<p>      <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-comp-caption\">9\/19\/2023<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n      <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/federal-judge-rules-that-oregon-gun-measure-is-constitutional-5402151?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><\/p>\n<h3>Federal\u200d Judge Rules\u2062 That \u200bOregon Gun Measure Is Constitutional<\/h3>\n<p>      <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-comp-caption\">7\/18\/2023<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, to qualify for a permit under Measure 114, applicants \u2062must\u2063 complete an approved, in-person firearm safety course, pay \u200da\u2062 fee, provide personal information, undergo\u200b fingerprinting and photographing, and pass an FBI criminal background check. The permits will be processed by\u200b local police chiefs, county sheriffs, or their designees, and then submitted to the FBI.<\/p>\n<p>The measure also prohibits magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. Measure \u2064114 has been in litigation since November 2022, with \u200dconflicting rulings from different courts.<\/p>\n<h2>FBI Rules\u200d on Permit to Purchase<\/h2>\n<p>According to\u2063 the OSAA&#8217;s legal guidance, Oregonians will be unable to obtain the required &#8220;permit to purchase&#8221; \u200dbecause the FBI has explicitly stated that it will not provide the necessary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wh-aides-walk-around-on-eggshells-as-biden-fears-hell-die\/\" title=\"Biden's Health Concerns Make WH Aides Nervous\">federal \u2064background check<\/a>. The\u200b FBI \u200dargues that Measure 114 does not meet the requirements\u2063 of Pub. L 92-544, which empowers them to make determinations regarding background checks for non-criminal matters.<\/p>\n<p>The OSAA has provided this guidance to all county\u2062 sheriffs, emphasizing \u200cthat no permit \u200dagent should issue a permit without \u200cthe FBI background check, as\u200c doing so would be illegal.<\/p>\n<h2>Creating Criminals<\/h2>\n<p>The OSAA&#8217;s guidance also highlights \u200bthat virtually all firearm magazines, \u200bincluding \u2064those \u200cwith\u2063 detachable base-plates, will be outlawed by the measure. Possessing these magazines, even if modified, would be considered a crime. The \u2062guidance raises\u200d concerns \u2063about enforcement and the lack of clarity in the language of the affirmative defense provision.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, \u2062the guidance points out that Oregon \u200cdoes \u200dnot require firearm registration, making it difficult to determine who \u2062the &#8220;registered owner&#8221; refers to in the measure.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u200cWhat are\u2064 the arguments from \u2064opponents and proponents of Ballot \u2063Measure 114<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Lated_stories&#8221;><\/p>\n<h3>Federal Judge Rules That Oregon Gun\u2064 Measure \u200cis Constitutional<\/h3>\n<p>      <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-comp-caption\">8\/29\/2023<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Ballot Measure 114, also known as the Comprehensive Gun Safety\u200d Act, was approved by Oregon voters in the last elections.

The FBI, responsible for conducting\u2062 background checks, has refused to cooperate due to \u2064concerns over privacy and data protection. This has put county\u200b sheriffs\u200d in a difficult position, as they are unable to issue permits to individuals who pass\u200c the background check requirement.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the ban on firearm magazines has created further controversy. The\u2064 law prohibits the possession \u2062of virtually\u2064 all magazines, including\u200c those currently owned by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/oregon-dem-slammed-after-suggesting-blacks-get-day-off-after-rittenhouse-verdict-everyone-involved-was-white\/\" title=\"Oregon Dem Slammed After Suggesting Blacks Get Day Off After Rittenhouse Verdict: \u2018Everyone Involved Was White\u2019\">lawful gun owners<\/a>. This means that individuals who possess such magazines would become criminals overnight, regardless of their intent or previous compliance with the law.<\/p>\n<p>The OSAA has \u200bexpressed its concern\u2064 over the impact of Ballot Measure 114 on the ability of law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights.\u2064 By preventing legal gun sales\u2064 and possession, the measure \u200dundermines\u2064 the constitutional rights\u2063 of the \u200ccitizens of Oregon.<\/p>\n<p>Opponents\u200d of the measure argue that it is\u200c an infringement on individual liberties and fails\u2062 to address the root causes of gun violence. They believe that existing laws are sufficient and that enforcement \u2063efforts should focus on targeting criminals and mental health\u2063 issues instead of hindering lawful gun owners.<\/p>\n<p>Proponents\u2062 of\u200d the measure, on the other hand,\u200c argue that it is \u2062necessary to\u200b reduce gun violence and ensure public safety. They contend that stricter background checks and \u200drestrictions on \u2064firearm magazines are common-sense measures that can help prevent \u2064firearms from falling into the wrong hands and being used in crimes.<\/p>\n<p>The ongoing\u200b court challenges to Ballot Measure 114 will determine its fate and the future of \u200cgun sales and possession in Oregon. Ultimately,\u200d the decision will have far-reaching implications \u2062for the rights of individuals and the role of\u200b government in regulating firearms.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Oregon State Sheriffs Association (OSAA) has informed county sheriffs that legal gun sales will cease if Ballot Measure 114 prevails in court.
