The Supreme Court ordered a lower court ruling on a Massachusetts gun control law to be vacated and directed a lower court to reconsider the case.

The case in question, Morin v. Lyver, centers around a controversial Massachusetts law that imposes strict restrictions on the possession and purchase of handguns, including the need for a license in order to purchase or possess a pistol. The law also includes a lifetime ban on purchasing handguns on anyone convicted of a nonviolent misdemeanor involving the possession or use of guns.

The US District Court of Massachusetts originally found the law constitutional, but the Supreme Court on Monday ordered that ruling vacated and the case "remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit for further consideration in light of New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn., Inc. v. Bruen."

This would apply spot on to 114.

This is good news and what should happen is the Oregon SC should rule that the referendum is invalid due to that decision. But we know that won't happen and there will probably need to be a lawsuit to overturn it should enough voters vote in favor of that idiotic referendum. We can hope it doesn't have to go that far if people are smart enough to reject it.
