The creeping cancer of federalization continues unabated.
This is the same guy who makes such great arguments for abortion, if you swing that way, do you swing that way?
Here’s the legal and logical problem with his argument between marijuana legalization in one state being equal to competing neighboring states respective gun laws.
Marijuana is still a controlled substance at the federal level. That’s a fact. That certain states are making it legal for recreational purposes doesn’t override the federal ban.
Therefore one state is taking a federally banned substance easily available in neighboring states due to non-existent interstate commerce laws that are strictly in the purview of the federal government by the constitution.
In the matter of competing gun laws the second amendment is absolute. One state with strict gun laws is acting in an unconstitutional manner having them on the books and interstate commerce of legal products cannot be compared to a federal ban of an illegal substance.
Apples and oranges.
This path in the law will hurt gun rights, fracking, abortion, water, farming, and a thousand other areas we can scarcely imagine yet. But make no mistake.
If this lawsuit wins, there will be leftist states LINING UP to sue conservative states for a thousand things that “affect” them. And they will win.
Guns are legal, drugs are not so apples and oranges comparisons are something conservatives should rue? Conservatives have had enough of liberal antics.
Why did it take a Constitutional Amendment to BAN ALCOHOL, yet a plant that GOD created, one that grows wild in half the country doesn’t require the same?
What part of the Constitution allows the Federal Government to make Illegal, a Natural Occurring Substance. ie NATURE!
There aren’t any implications until the trial is over. And the plaintiff states will probably lose.
