The Oregon Court of Appeals ruled that local governments cannot set up Second Amendment sanctuaries and prohibit police from enforcing gun control measures.
Oregon residents continue to stock up on firearms after a judge temporarily blocked a strict new gun control law from taking effect, but the future is still uncertain.accused sheriffs who, citing the Constitution, refuse to enforce federal and state gun control laws of embracing"racist and white nationalist ideologies."
Some of these ordinances are symbolic, but the court reviewed a measure enacted in Columbia County that would have imposed thousands of dollars in fines on officials who attempt to enforce federal and state gun laws. It said the ordinance would"create a ‘patchwork quilt’ of firearms laws in Oregon, where firearms regulations that applied in some counties would not apply in Columbia County," which the court found would violate state law.
"While we are very disappointed in this ruling against the clear vote of the people, we are more alarmed by the raucous secondary opinion by Judge Egan," said Erich Pratt, senior vice president for GOA."These vitriolic accusations and opinionated commentary have no basis in fact or the law, and the radical viewpoints held by this judge are dangerous to constitutional doctrine and principle.
