Even though “medical marijuana” is legal under California law, it is quite illegal under federal law. Is someone who possesses marijuana even allowed to possess a firearm under federal law?
In a local story a couple of days ago, police raided a house where drugs and a gun were found. One of the charges was “illegal use of a firearm during commission of a felony” even though the firearm was not used by anyone. I think it was locked up in a safe. Anyway, the cops said they were allowed to tack on the weapons charge. Apparently it is ok for lawmakers to change the definitions of words whenever they like—kind of like NJ declaring BB guns “firearms”.
So far the Feds aren’t involved in this case. But hey, if the Federal gun grabbers can step in then, Yay, I guess? Not sure why a Conservative would cheer such a thing.
