A federal judge has denied a petition to delay Measure 114. That means a ban on buying or selling magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition will go into effect this Thursday.

Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum wants to postpone one provision of the gun safety measure approved by voters last month.

New gun law set to go into effect next week will require a permit to purchase for anyone with a pending firearm background check, according to state police.

Less than two weeks remain for Oregon officials to hammer out a complex permitting regime for firearm ownership under Measure 114, and that could put the state in a constitutionally precarious spot.

The ballot measure would require people who want to buy a gun to pay a fee, take a safety course, submit fingerprints and pass a background check to obtain a permit.

A U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning a strict New York law on who can carry concealed weapons will likely lead to a challenge of California gun laws.

Gun rights advocates had targeted Senate Minority Leader Fred Girod for not walking out on 2021's signature gun-control bill.

State Sen. Lynn Findley opposed Senate Bill 554. Some constituents say he should have walked out over it.

Judge Rodger Benitez ruled that the state was unlawfully depriving Californians of weapons allowed in most other states and by the Supreme Court. Gov. Gavin Newsom has condemned the decision.

Senate Bill 554 requires gun owners to securely store their weapons when not in use, and will ban possession of guns in the state Capitol and Portland International Airport. It paves the way for public schools and universities to enact their own bans.

Senate Bill 554 is the first truly contentious bill of the 2021 legislative session.

With Democrats in full control of Congress, lawmakers hope that the legislation will find more support. Efforts to pass tougher gun control laws have repeatedly failed despite recent mass shootings.
