As I predicted yesterday, there’s a growing chorus of county sheriffs in Oregon joining Linn County Sheriff Michelle Duncan, who announced that she won’t enforce a new ban on “large capacity” magazines that’s a part of Measure 114, a contentious gun control initiative that looks like it’s going to be narrowly approved by voters; primarily those in Portland and the surrounding suburbs.
In most of the state’s counties opposition to Measure 114 is running high. 70% of Linn County voters have rejected Measure 114, and now the sheriffs in two other counties hostile to the new restriction on gun owners are vowing not to enforce the magazine ban if the measure is enacted into law.
