Oregon judge extends ban on parts of tough new gun law

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon judge on Tuesday extended his order blocking a key part of a new, voter-approved gun law and was hearing arguments on whether to also prevent the law’s ban on high-capacity magazines from taking effect. Harney County Judge Robert Raschio let stand a temporary restraining order that blocks a permit-to-purchase provision of Measure 114. He also temporarily blocked another part of the law that prevents a gun sale until background check results come back. A federal judge on Dec. 6 allowed the magazine ban but a conflicting order from Raschio a few hours later put the law in limbo.
