[LegendHasIt]

If they can do this, they can do it to alcohol drinkers and people who take other prescribed medicines that could alter behavior

[SpaceBar]

Deprivation of rights under the color of law.

"If they can do this, they can do it to alcohol drinkers and people who take other prescribed medicines that could alter behavior"

They've already been doing it since the first settlers arrived in the New World. They do it to mentally challenged people, too. Hundreds of years ago, they added insult to injury by calling them "drunks," "idiots," and generally, "incompetents."

LOL....”unintended consequences”......LOL

Oh but who’s gonna comply, voluntarily? I think some burrocrats do not understand the word “voluntarily”.

[familyop]

Is it illegal to possess a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs?

Yep, go after people who use marijuana but it’s all good for Muslims to have guns, based on major slaughter, violence and mayhem caused by people who use pot for medical reasons.

So that is Federal Statute...But HI has medical marijuana which is against Federal Law. SO which Federal Laws does HI want to support? If they allow medical marijuna on a state level, then they should allow those medical marijuna patients the right to kept their arms on a state level too. Jeez, the hypocrisy of the left.

[ALASKA]

They’re being voluntold.

So fedgov abuses the Commerce Clause in order to pi** on the Second Amendment.

A twofer.

[Ken H]

I left out the Tenth Amendment.

Make it a 3-fer for fedgov.
