Red Copper on Gab: '04.12.2024 As you know, our federal lawsuit against Ballot Measure 114 is proceeding at what can only be called a glacial pace. The 9th Circuit shows no signs of wanting to issue a ruling that will almost certainly be reconsidered by the US Supreme Court. However, we do have important news on the State case. After a Judge in Harney County declared the clearly unconstitutional Ballot Measure 114, well…unconstitutional, the state immediately declared its intention to appeal that ruling. The Oregon Department of “Justice” not only wants to disarm Oregonians at a very dangerous time, it wants to do it as quickly and completely as possible. So not only did they file an appeal, they also took the unusual step of asking the Appeals Court to implement the measure before the appeal was even heard. Typically when a request is made to “stay” a decision of a court, it is done to protect the “status quo” while the matter is litigated. However in this case (as the Appeals Court has noted) the State asked to “stay” the injunction against Mz 114 to turn the status quo on its head and immediately turn thousands upon thousands of Oregonians into criminals. Today we have received word from our attorney in the state case that the Oregon Appeals Court has denied the state’s request and as such, Measure 114, along with all its intended and very evil consequences remains “on hold” and not in force. This is very good news in a very anti-gun state. We are grateful for the excellent work attorney Tony Aiello is doing in this case. We are also grateful for the assistance from Firearms Policy Coalition and Second Amendment Foundation in this matter. But we are long way from having this nightmare behind us. We are still funding two lawsuits and only your support has allowed us to get this far. Please consider any help you can provide to cover the mounting expenses of holding the gun grabbers at bay.
