Please vote NO on ballot measure 114

There are many, many reasons why this is poor law, and will eventually either be repealed or struck down as unconstitutional, but only after a long and expensive legal battle.

In the meantime Oregon residents would be faced with a few problems, some of which could result in a criminal record and possible jail time, just for doing ... nothing. As well as it being very difficult, if not impossible to actually purchase a gun.

This legislation is incredibly poorly written. It is not obvious if it is designed to be impenetrable by non lawyers, or if it was just written by incompetents. The latter seens most likely. For example, the law claims to "grandfather" existing "high capacity" magazines. But when you read the law carefully it says:

As of the effective date of this 2022 Act, it shall be an 
affirmative defense, as provided in ORS 166.055, to the 
unlawful possession, use and transfer of a large-capacity 
magazine in this state by any person

The problem with this is that ORS 166.055 does not exist. They know it doesn't exist. When challenged on it, they simply responded that the legislature can fix that by writing and enacting that.

Note that even if "grandfathered" posession is an affirmative defense. What that means in practice is that you are guilty until you prove that you are not. You do have a dated receipt for that magazine don't you? The magazine, not the gun, and for any others that you posess. If not, you are guilty of a class A misdemeanor.

You also can't do much with that magazine, even if you do have a dated receipt. This is what 114 says about how and where you can use it:

(A) On property owned or immediately controlled by the registered owner;
(B) On the premises of a gun dealer or gunsmith licensed under
    18 U.S.C. 923 for the purpose of lawful service or repair;
(C) While engaging in the legal use of the large-capacity
    magazine, at a public or private shooting range or shooting gallery
    or for recreational activities such as hunting,
    to the extent permitted under state law; or
(D) While participating in firearms competition or exhibition,
    display or educational project about firearms sponsored,
    conducted by, approved or under the auspices of a law
    enforcement agency or a national or state-recognized entity that
    fosters proficiency in firearms use or promotes
    firearms education; and
(E) While transporting any large-capacity magazines in
    a vehicle to one of the locations authorized in
    paragraphs (c)(A) to (D) of this subsection, the
    large-capacity magazine is not inserted into the
    firearm and is locked in a separate container.

So you may not use your existing, "grandfathered" magazine for self defense (e.g. concealed carry).

Other poorly thought out parts include the training required to obtain a permit to apply to the State Police for permission to buy a gun. That training requires some live fire excercises. If you don't already have a gun, that becomes quite difficult, since under existing Oregon law you can't even borrow a gun from someone (other than a very close relative) without going through the full transfer process. Which requires obtaining the permit to acquire, which requires live fire training.

There is also the problem that there is no funding allocated for the certification of trainers for the required courses, nor are there many suitable locations for the live fire component, even more so outside of the urban areas of the state.
