PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) – Ahead of Oregon’s ghost gun ban taking effect Sept. 1, the Oregon Department of Justice is reminding Oregonians to comply with new serialization laws.
The reminder comes a week after a federal judge denied a motion for a temporary restraining order that challenged the ban, as first reported by The Oregonian .
The plaintiffs, including Oregon Firearms Federation Inc. and Firearms Policy Coalition Inc., filed the motion earlier in August against Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum and Oregon State Police Superintendent Casey Codding.

After the plaintiffs argued that the law (under House Bill 2005 ) violated their Second and 14 th Amendment rights, United States District Judge Adrienne Nelson denied the motion Aug. 20, saying the Second Amendment right “is not unequivocal.”
“The Second Amendment does not encompass the right ‘to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever and for whatever purpose,’” Judge Nelson wrote in her opinion.
