Next week, “the nation’s most extreme gun control” law will head to court in Oregon. Intercessor, what do you think about it?

From Fox News. An Oregon law dubbed the nation’s “most extreme” gun control measure heads to trial next week in a case that has drawn close attention from firearm advocates and opponents.

“I have never seen this many people so interested in a legal proceeding,” attorney Tony Aiello Jr. told Fox News.

“This case is about a bare majority of voters passing a poorly-written ballot measure that erodes, and I would say erases, a constitutional right,” added Aiello, who is representing a pair of Harney County gun owners challenging Measure 114 under the Oregon Constitution.

Oregonians passed Measure 114 last November with 50.65% of the vote … The law, which groups like the NRA’s legislative arm deem “the nation’s most extreme gun control Initiative,” requires a permit to purchase any gun and bans the sale of magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds.

But the law hasn’t taken effect due to immediate legal challenges at both the federal and state level.

Federal Judge Karin Immergut ruled in July that Oregon’s law is in line with a U.S. tradition of “regulating uniquely dangerous features of weapons and firearms to protect public safety.” Plaintiffs are appealing Immergut’s ruling to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Aiello, meanwhile, will go to court on Monday for Harney County gun owners Joseph Arnold and Cliff Asmussen, arguing that Measure 114 doesn’t pass muster under the Oregon Constitution because it would operate as an outright ban. …

Much of the criticism of the measure centers around the permit system. Measure 114 requires that prospective gun buyers complete “in-person demonstration of the applicant’s ability to lock, load, unload, fire and store a firearm before an instructor certified by a law enforcement agency” — a much stricter process than what is currently required to obtain even a concealed handgun license in Oregon.

Police and sheriffs said in December there were no training programs in the state that satisfy all the permit requirements. …

The trial is expected to last through next Friday. Regardless of the outcome, Aiello said he thinks all sides in the debate expect the case to eventually reach the Oregon Supreme Court.
