'GunRunner Arms' in Junction City closed their doors for good on Saturday, January 21.
(The Center Square) – On a day when U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut ruled some strict new gun controls can take effect as scheduled on Thursday, Dec. 8, Oregon's gun shops were so busy they weren't answering their phones.
With Oregon’s gun regulations due to be tightened on Dec. 8 when Measure 114 will take effect, shops appear to be using a federal loophole to try to rack up sales.
Supporters of the measure say it would prevent gun deaths, while opponents say it infringes on a constitutional right.
