While 29 states have legalized medical marijuana in some form, the drug is still illegal under federal law. Some police departments are now selectively enforcing federal law — people can get the medical marijuana, they just can’t own guns. Hawaii requires all medical marijuana users to register in a state-run patient registry and also requires gun owners to register all their weapons with the county police chief.

Dope heads.
Registration = confiscation
There's a reason cannabis is schedule 1, and meth & pills are schedule 2.
Persecution!
Ping.
For your interest.
Thanks for the ping.
Progressives always “selectively enforce the law”. They enforce the ones they like & ignore the ones they don’t like until it serves their greater purpose.
I’m surprised they didn’t start doing this sooner.
Seems about right, since the very first marijuana law was the 1937 Marijuana Tax Stamp act, based on the 1934 Machine Gun Tax Stamp.
I'm totally anti-drug whether the pusher is someone on the street or someone with a medical degree. All I can say is anyone who wanted the gov to have control over their habit must have been stoned.
I agree with everything you write. It comes down to a simple premise, they cannot impose strict gun control legally and through the passing of laws so they need to make people felons so that they can deny the right based on that.
The only other question is what other rights will MJ cancel out?
1. This was quite predictable.
2. Put this one in the category of “Be careful what you wish for, you may get it.”
I am personally against taking drugs, and will (figuratively) kill my kids if they ever take it, but my feeling is that MJ is not a whole lot different than alcohol in many respects. So, for example, one should not drive with it in your system. Ditto for handling firearms. But if one chooses to smoke a joint in the privacy of one’s own home (or a friend’s home who allows it), how is that much different from hoisting a few beers or having a few mixed drinks or shots? So why, in the “cosmic justice” sense of things, should smoking a joint (esp. one prescribed for medical reasons - and there ARE medicinal benefits to some of MJ’s components) disqualify one from owning a firearm? I can see no reason whatsoever...other than tyrants being tyrants.
HI is hard left. They will take away guns from honest, non-violent people and leave them in the hands of violent criminals.
There’s another thing that could get interesting. There’s a real rush (pun intended) in DC to throw billions of dollars at the opiod crisis. Since nothing else seems to help addicts who don’t want to help themselves, the new cure fad is inpatient rehab. They’re even saying as many times as it takes! Won’t it be something else when the gov can lock undesirables up “to cure them”?
Not confiscation logic for safety a stoner with a gun what could go wrong in California every pot shop that gets robbed is by a stoner they are a useless and dangerous lot.
California has more homeless camps of stoners and drunks they can’t keep up with them.
I believe that is why Governor-elect Murphy and the RAT infested legislature want to legalize pot in New Jersey; so they can use a similar law to disarm as many people as possible. Users are losers.
Lets turn that sideways and make fleeing a felony. Then cops can shoot fleeing felons with impunity! (Is the < /sarc > tag necessary?)
