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.

      If you drive the car onto public roads you would then be breaking the law and most likely you would have trouble applying for plates for the car. Traffic enforcement here isn’t exactly on top of anything. If you wanted the car delivered to your home or any private property it would be perfectly legal. Based on the number of unplated vehicles and frequency of uninsured motorist incidents here, I’d be a bit shocked if any enforcement occurred.

      • Thanks for your time and info.

        Around here, all dealerships require you show them a drivers licence and proof of insurance before you can drive off.
        You could buy it and have it delivered without one though.

        That makes more sense to me than expecting traffic cops to even find let alone enforce after the fact.
        TBH, I never thought much about it and kinda assumed it was universal.
