Oregon‘s stringent new voter-approved gun law remains on hold after the state Supreme Court declined to grant an emergency motion request by the state to overturn a lower court’s ruling.

Oregon’s high court Chief Justice Martha Walters issued a ruling Wednesday that denied the request of Democratic Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum to reinstate the law, which is known as Measure 114. The law had been set to go into effect Thursday before Harney County Judge Robert Raschio blocked the measure in response to gun rights groups that sued.
