Oregon joins coalition seeking federal regulation of untraceable ‘ghost guns’
SALEM, Ore. KTVZ) Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum has joined a coalition of 19 attorneys general urging a federal court to compel the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to properly regulate untraceable, partially assembled “ghost guns.”
In an amicus brief filed in
Syracuse v. ATF in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the coalition argues that since 2015, the agency has relied on an improper reading of the Gun Control Act to allow unlicensed online retailers to sell nearly-complete firearm kits that are easily converted into fully-functioning firearms.

The state’s novel $62 million relief fund for Black Oregonians will stop allocating grants and deposit its remaining $8.8 million with a federal court while legal challenges against it continue.
The Oregon Cares Fund agreed to deposit its remaining money with the court Thursday after plaintiffs challenging the fund’s constitutionality asked U.S. Judge Karin Immergut to issue a preliminary injunction or restraining order to stop the fund from distributing money on the basis of race.
Immergut had previously denied two separate requests for an injunction or restraining order. In those instances, the Oregon Cares Fund set aside money for the plaintiffs in case they prevailed in their legal challenges, leading Immergut to find that they couldn’t show the irreparable harm needed to warrant an injunction.

MGN Even Google is not above the law, Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum says
SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) Oregon Attorney General Rosenblum joined a bipartisan coalition of 38 attorneys general Thursday in suing Google LLC for anticompetitive conduct in violation of Section 2 of the Sherman Act.
The states allege that Google illegally maintains its monopoly power over general search engines and related advertising markets through a series of anticompetitive exclusionary contracts and conduct.
As a result, they allege, Google has deprived consumers of competition that could lead to greater choice, innovation, and better privacy protections. Furthermore, they said, Google has exploited its market position to accumulate and leverage data to the detriment of consumers.
