The feds have no Constitutional authority for a pot ban. That should be up to the states.
However, since you don't seem to care about the feds denying an enumerated Consitutional right (gun ownership) over a usurped power (banning pot), I guess you also wouldn't have a problem with the feds eventually banning guns to those whose political views they disagree with as well. Who cares about that messy Bill of Rights? Ignore the 10th, ignore the 2nd, ignore the First, as long as those dopers can't get a gun...
As far as I’m concerned if you don’t have enough common sense to fill out a 4473 appropriately then you probably don’t have enough common sense to carry a firearm.
Right. Wonder if the feds have a way of tracking retail purchase of mj?
As part of Obamacare, they do have law passed by Congress, signed by the President, and allowed by the courts that deals with this: anything the FDA lists as a drug must be made by an agent approved and taxed by the Federal government. Even your local pharmacy can get in trouble for mixing things that were legal before the abomination was passed. This is as close as you can come to an “authority”.
Like it or not, the Feds use commerce and taxation to regulate firearms and drugs. So far, it's constitutional.
Yep. So-called conservatives seem to care about the constitution only when it suits them.
Lex malla, lex nulla. An unconstitutional statute, though it may have the color of law and purport to be law, is void. However, (soto voce) that ancient principle only applies in republics that appreciate the rule of law. Here and now, though, the you-know-who’s can do you-know-what to your dog, then to you, without legal recourse. So prudence dictates that gun owners should stay away from the hemp — or be hanged by it.
