Cry me a river.

Stop smoking dope.

[cripplecreek]

Oops.

Saw this coming a mile away. This is the quid pro quo the anti-gunners have been dreaming of.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

We are told that potheads are peaceful people. Why would a pothead need a gun?

[Darksheare]

LOL

As far as the left is concerned, Americans cannot
be trusted with these high capacity lead delivery systems.

The government always wants too much information. Just lie.

I’m a Native American. I was born here.

[FlingWingFlyer]

“Recreational” happy smoke has its consequences. LOL!

[Cyber Liberty]

The LGS is correct, but I bet they get sued anyway.

[discostu]

So you lie. What’s the big deal? It’s just a government form.

[catnipman]

“when you buy a firearm via a licensed dealer”

Actually, legally, ALL private gun sales now have to use this form via a licensed dealer as well because of the BS laws the kommies passed last year. It doesn’t look like many people are bothering to comply though.

So, legally, no one who smokes pot in Colorado can legally buy a gun in Colorado now. Period.

This is the kind of perfection that Fascists love: turning the entire population into criminals and then selectively enforcing the laws.

[Cboldt]

If you possess a firearm, and smoke pot, you are committing a federal felony. Being a felon makes you disqualified from firearms possession for life, unless you can get the felonly conviction expunged at the federal level. And the feds are all about disarming the public.

[Yo-Yo]

Same thing with every other state that has a Medical Marijuana law. If you have a medical marijuana card, you cannot legally purchase a firearm from an FFL. And, now that Colorado passed “universal background checks,” even private sales face to face must go thorugh an FFL.

Fools.

Unintended consequence ...

Someone intended it and a whole lot of someone elses didn't read the fine print.

[familyop]

Dope smokers drink for the purpose of taking the paranoia out of the initial high and make fallacious arguments about drinking being worse. They should try doing neither for a few years in order to avoid feeling withdrawal symptoms for any kind of drug. As for carrying or discharging firearms while intoxicated, people who get high on smoke are always high.

[Chuckster]

By now most people have learned from the example set by our leaders that it is OK to lie if it serves your interests.

[OneWingedShark]

This was discussed on a gun board re a guy who 1) wanted to buy a firearm and 2) smoked marijuana.

For those who don't know, when you buy a firearm via a licensed dealer, you must fill out a form 4473. On that form is a series of questions that include a question about pot, viz. do you smoke pot. If the answer is yes, then you're disqualified.

What about Haynes v. U.S. (1968)?

[TurboZamboni]

Question e. on the 4473 form is worded like this

e. Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?

If it is lawful in Colorado, they could honestly answer 'no'.
