'Blatantly unconstitutional': Strict gun control law faces new NRA-backed legal challenge

One of the strictest gun control laws in the nation is facing a new National Rifle Association-backed legal challenge as a federal judge prepares to decide whether to delay the measure's implementation.

Two former Oregon lawmakers, a sporting goods store, the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and the Oregon State Shooting Association — the NRA's state affiliate — filed the lawsuit Thursday, arguing the voter-approved Measure 114 places "severe and unprecedented burdens" on those seeking to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

"Oregon’s Measure 114 is blatantly unconstitutional," Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF’s senior vice president and general counsel, said in a statement provided to Fox News. "The right to keep and bear arms begins with the ability of law-abiding citizens to be able to obtain a firearm through a lawful purchase at a firearm retailer."...............

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Imagine that, the NRA actually doing something, other than buying  $600 suits.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

This is such a stinker of a law that clearly the state wasn’t ready to implement that the State’s Attorneys Office is asking the Federal judge to put a temporary stay on implementation of the law but not to strike down the law on its merits.

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS THE PROBLEM...NOT THE SOLUTION
