Measure 114
"The initiative would also prohibit the manufacture, importation, possession, use, purchase, sale, or otherwise transferring of ammunition magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. It would make violations a class A misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to 364 days in jail, a fine of up to $6,250, or both."
It is now going to be a crime to own a magazine that can hold more than 10 rounds. As soon as this measure goes into effect which is usually 30 days after passing a HUGE number of state residents are going to be instantly made into criminals!
How did this unfold in other states with 10 round magazine capacity caps? Am I supposed to turn in my 10+ round magazines or destroy them myself? Back in the Clinton days current 10+ round magazines were grandfathered in. Now they are just illegal in Oregon. Is this how it worked when other socialist states passed similar laws?

LINN COUNTY, Ore. — Linn County Sheriff Michelle Duncan released a statement Wednesday regarding Ballot Measure 114.
"Unfortunately, we are seeing the passage of Ballot Measure 114," Duncan said in the release on social media, "which creates a required permitting system in order to purchase firearms AND bans gun magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. This is a terrible law for gunowners, crime victims, and public safety."
The Sheriff continued, "I want to send a clear message to Linn County residents that the Linn County Sheriff’s Office is NOT going to be enforcing magazine capacity limits."
Duncan stated the measure is "poorly written" and that Linn County Sheriff's Office will work to find "the best course of action to take on permitting."
"I want to ensure anything we do or don’t do will not hinder gunowners’ rights to purchase firearms, intentionally or unintentionally."

Unfortunately, we are seeing the passage of Ballot Measure 114, which creates a required permitting system in order to purchase firearms AND bans gun magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. This is a terrible law for gunowners, crime victims, and public safety.I want to send a clear message to Linn County residents that the Linn County Sheriff’s Office is NOT going to be enforcing magazine capacity limits.This measure is poorly written and there is still a lot that needs to be sorted out regarding the permitting process, who has to do the training and what exactly does the training have to cover. In the coming days, I will work with other law enforcement partners, elected officials and community members on the best course of action to take on permitting. I want to ensure anything we do or don’t do will not hinder gunowners’ rights to purchase firearms, intentionally or unintentionally.Although, I am hopeful that the passing of this measure will result in an immediate lawsuit against it, as it should, there is still going to be a lot to sort out on how this will impact our residents, the Linn County Sheriff’s Office and other police agencies in Oregon.I will continue to inform the public as decisions are made.Sheriff Michelle Duncan
