Oregon’s ban on so-called “ghost guns” is now the law, as of Sunday, and the Oregon Firearms Federation is warning Beaver State gun owners with unserialized firearms that they are “officially criminals.”
KGW in Portland noted the law took effect Sept. 1 after a federal judge “denied a legal challenge that tried to block the prohibition.” OFF and the Firearms Policy Coalition had challenged the ban.
U.S. District Judge Adrienne Nelson, in a 9-page ruling, wrote, “Plaintiffs have offered no evidence to support the implication that unserialized firearms, undetectable firearms, or unserialized, unfinished frames and receivers are in common use by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.”
So-called “ghost guns” have been demonized by the Biden-Harris administration as tools used in crimes by people who don’t want to get caught. According to KGW, in 2022, the Justice Department reported 25,785 such guns had been seized in this country.
According to KOIN News, “In 2022, investigators found a ghost gun manufacturing operation at a home in Salem.”
In response, Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, who was a defendant in the lawsuit, “made it a priority in 2023 to get them banned,” KOIN recalled. The result was House Bill 2025, which was passed in 2023, but has been held up by a series of legal challenges, KOIN said.
