Oregon Appellate Court Rules Measure 114 Constitutional

By Penny Okamoto, Executive Director of Ceasefire Oregon

Great news for all Oregonians! Oregon’s Appellate Court has ruled that Measure 114 is constitutional! Ceasefire Oregon is thrilled that this life-saving law will be implemented soon.

Measure 114 began as Initiative Petition 17 in 2022. The law was passed by Oregon voters in November 2022 but has been held up in court challenges since.

Measure 114 will require a permit to purchase or transfer a firearm, hands-on firearm training, and bans the sale of high-capacity magazines (holding more than ten rounds).

Congratulations to everyone and our thanks to all of you who dedicated so much time and energy to this new law!
