A voter-approved Oregon gun control law violates the state constitution, a judge ruled Tuesday, continuing to block it from taking effect and casting fresh doubt over the future of the embattled measure.

The law requires people to undergo a criminal background check and complete a gun safety training course in order to obtain a permit to buy a firearm. It also bans high-capacity magazines.

The plaintiffs in the federal case, which include the Oregon Firearms Federation, have appealed the ruling to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The case could potentially go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

    My solution is to not arm the white supremacists,

    Feel free to explain how you will be disarming white supremacism’s most enduring institution - ie, the police.

    Meanwhile, your solution is to enthusiastically arm white supremacists over and over again

    They are already armed - to the teeth. They are literally armed with your tax dollars.

      Then why aren’t you shooting them? Why isn’t this solved if you have the solution to this problem that’s life or death for so many people?

      Is it because your solution doesn’t work? Is it because you want other people to do the dying and life imprisonment? Or is it because you only want to point to the problem to drum up gun sales?

      There’s no possible out from here that makes you a good person, let alone a hero.

        This isn’t an 80s action movie, Clyde - come live in the real world for a while, won’t you?

        So you basically admit that you have no way of dealing with the most dangerous, most unaccountable, and most thoroughly funded white supremacist institution to ever exist - who, I should mention, have easy access to millions of firearms that they happily distribute to their fascist proxies no matter what your precious laws say.

        that makes you a good person

        Your toxic liberal feel-good morality means squat to me.

          Oh so you’re not going to fix the problem by shooting it now?

          Sounds like you went limp the moment you had to offer actual steps for people to follow.

          So you basically admit that you have no way of dealing with the most dangerous, most unaccountable, and most thoroughly funded white supremacist institution to ever exist

          It’s pretty clear your entire plan is “gun” and honestly, that’s already being too kind to it. You can’t even connect your fantasy to reality, let along make it happen.

          Your toxic liberal feel-good morality means squat to me.

          Of course it doesn’t, you’re a self-absorbed fuckwit who expects other people to die for their hobby and hero fantasies. I never expected any different.

          I just didn’t want your bullshit propaganda infecting anyone with a mind worth changing because the sooner people see through it, the sooner the problem can be fixed.

            Which part of…

            This isn’t an 80s action movie, Clyde

            …didn’t you get the first time around?

            It’s pretty clear your entire plan is “gun” and honestly,

            So, again… you have no way of dealing with the most dangerous, most unaccountable, and most thoroughly funded white supremacist institution to ever exist.

            Good chat, liberal… it’s always good to be reminded that your ilk will, at best, not raise a finger to stop the fascists - and, at worst, you will be actively aiding and abetting them.

              Still waiting to hear what you’ve solved with your guns, the thing you’re repeatedly claiming is the solution that makes all the mass murder worth it.

              At this point, it’s clear you can’t actually explain how your solution works.

                your solution

                You are not entitled to solutions if you are unwilling to even admit to the problem, liberal.

                  Hurl all the shit-tier insults you want but nothing is more neoliberal than putting profits before people’s lives, then when none of your promises come true, blaming people for not giving them enough money.
