Numerous sheriffs in Oregon stated that they will not carry out the state’s new gun control law that imposes limits on magazine capacity. These sheriffs argued that the provision infringes on the Second Amendment.

“There’s just no way possible for us to enforce that and nor would I simply because it’s an infringement on our Second Amendment, you know, our right to keep and bear arms,” the Union County sheriff added. He also noted that this measure would not lower the amount of shootings occurring in the state.
Malheur County Sheriff Brian Wolfe announced that he won’t enforce the newly passed magazine limit.
