A judge on Tuesday placed a hold on a portion of Oregon's recent gun law that enhances background check requirements for firearm purchases, leaving the legislation completely blocked.

The ruling is another setback for the law, Ballot Measure 114, which is now entirely paused as legal challenges to various portions of the law make their way through Oregon's court system. The judge determined that the law's heightened background check requirement could not be implemented while the court
continues to debate the other portions of the law, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting, as plaintiffs argue the law violates the state's constitution.

Oregon had hoped to implement the background check requirement based on language
in the measure that says if any "articles, sections, subsections, sentences or
clauses" are blocked or found to be unconstitutional, the remaining portions could still be implemented. Harney County Circuit Judge Robert Raschio ruled that the background check could not be implemented because the language in the
measure ties background checks to the "permit-to-purchase" requirement, according to OPB.

"The court declines to remove the background check provisions from the [temporary restraining order] as the provisions are intertwined with the permit-to-purchase program and the court has made no final determination on constitutionality of the program," Raschio wrote in his order.

A Harney County judge heard arguments today on whether or not to allow the background provisions in Ballot Measure 114 to go into effect. He'll issue his
ruling by Jan. 3, he said.

Following the law's passing, gun restrictions led to a massive uptick in attempted firearms purchases in Oregon. Background checks skyrocketed from 850
per day, prior to the midterms, to 4,000 per day after the law's passing, and the Oregon state police reported more than 18,000 transactions during election
week.

In December, 36,000 Oregon residents were waitlisted in the background check process, Karl Durkheimer, owner of Oregon's Northwest Armory gun store, said on
Fox News.

"Two things are happening. There's fear they won't be able to get a gun, but there's the actual logistics that they won't be able to do the background check.
It's going to take a year before an Oregonian has a permit," Durkheimer said.

Have both of you considered reading some history OTHER than the 1940s?
Perhaps you should before commenting on people acting like Nazis.

Birds of a feather ...

Republicans apparently have no problem with Nazis in our military

GOP against combating neo-Nazis?

On Wednesday the U.S. House approved an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that orders the FBI, Homeland Security and the
Department of Defense to prepare a report on combating white supremacists
and neo-Nazi activity in the police and military.

The amendment passed 218-208 along party lines.

Every Republican voted against it.

Got that? Every Repuglican in the House voted against kicking nazis out
of the police and military

============
The Republicans have a Nazi infestation

As the Republican Party gives off an increasingly strong stench of
fascism — with the antisemitic, racist and xenophobic attitudes inherent
in that ideology — the party establishment looks more and more like the “Junker” conservatives of Germany in the 1930s. While those monarchists
and militarists felt distaste for Hitler and his Nazi thugs, many of them nevertheless abetted his rise to power.

A disturbingly similar scenario is now visible in what was once the party
of Lincoln, where the spineless Rep. Kevin McCarthy, conniving Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and sundry other “leaders” say little
or nothing as fascists openly conspire to take over. Rather than confront
the repeated provocations by their Nazi-adjacent colleagues over the past
year, those timid figures are instead allowing the authoritarian cancer
to grow out of control. Both McCarthy and McConnell know what’s happening
in the GOP, but their weak character will likely prevent them from acting
with any resolve until it is far too late, if ever.

Instead, the scandalous connections continue to metastasize between far-
right Republican officials and a motley assortment of neo-Nazis, white nationalists and fascist thugs.
