PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon judge has entered the final order striking down a gun control law that was narrowly approved by voters in 2022.

Harney County Circuit Court Judge Robert Raschio signed the general judgment on Monday. The judgment finalizes the opinion Raschio issued in November finding the law violated the right to bear arms under the Oregon Constitution.

The law, one of the toughest in the nation, was among the first gun restrictions to be passed after a major U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year changed the guidance judges are expected to follow when considering Second Amendment cases.

Measure 114 has been tied up in state and federal court since it was approved by voters in November 2022.

1. I voted for this law.

Now we have a super right-wing judge from an extreme right-wing county in southeastern Oregon that has a population of less than 7,500 people override what the majority of Oregonians wanted to keep us safe, even if it was a slim majority. Harney County wants to become part of Idaho. I'm okay with the people leaving for Idaho, but the land needs to stay part of Oregon.

4. Right wing nutjob judge.

This really makes me feel sick and I don't understand how this could happen. RWNJs seem to believe life is so unfair for them in Eastern Oregon- I wish they would all move to Idaho.

2. If they ordered all these gun slingers to report for militia duty

the ranks would shrink fast

3. Can this opinion be overruled

By a higher court?
