Federal judge rules Oregon´s tough new gun law is constitutional

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : Large capacity magazines "are not commonly used for self-defense, and are therefore not protected by the Second Amendment," Immergut wrote.
52% : It changed the test that lower courts had long used for evaluating challenges to firearm restrictions, telling judges that gun laws must be consistent with the "historical tradition of firearm regulation."
49% : The legislation also bans the sale, transfer or import of gun magazines with more than 10 rounds unless they are owned by law enforcement or a military member or were owned before the measure´s passage.
47% : The decision comes after a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision on the Second Amendment that has upended gun laws across the country, dividing judges and sowing confusion over what firearm restrictions can remain on the books.
47% : "The Second Amendment also allows governments to ensure that only law-abiding, responsible citizens keep and bear arms."
