HELENA, Mont. (AP) -- Firearms dealers in states that allow medical marijuana can’t sell guns or ammunition to registered users of the drug, a policy that marijuana and gun-rights groups say denies Second Amendment rights to individuals who are following state law.

THC does alter one’s perception of depth, that’s one of the arguments to create laws for driving while high from smoking dope.

There should be laws (and are) that deal with driving while high.

A drunk and a pot head pull up to a stop sign. The drunk crashes it, while the pot head waits for it to turn green.

People in compliance with state laws, and (if addicted) entitled to special protections under provisions of the federal "Americans With Disabilities Act," are disqualified from protections guaranteed by the Constitution...

...this absurdity is perverse and reflects the absence of clarity and consistency that is inevitable when society and its representative government have no moral compass or guiding philosophical principles.


That sums it up pretty darn well.

Sorry, I’m actually with the ATF on this one, until such time as the 4473 form is changed to exclude marijuana.

I think the form has enough flexibility. The question, IIRC, is "Are you an *unlawful* user of or addicted to...", which already has by its structure an allowance for lawful use of marijuana. At least, that's the most recent version I can recall. God knows, they get perverse pleasure out of revising that form.

ATF is simply remaining true to form, making up new ways to screw with law-abiding Americans.

Plenty of states have laws against possession of a firearm while intoxicated (alcohol or otherwise).

I knew that was coming. I told a friend about a year ago that getting a MM card might compromise a person's legal standing to KABA.

Now why doesn't that apply to everyone who shops at a liquor store or has a scrip for a narcotic or psychotropic drug? Especially those psychotropic Rxs that keep turning kids into psychotic killing machines.

Yesh, but it is legal for the ATF to sell illegal guns to the drug cartels!

Go figure!

Neither do I. But I do recall a lot of Court decisions saying these restrictions passed Constitutional muster. Your argument is with them.

and many states keep records of who buys it.

Your thought isn’t far-fetched at all.

I know full well Kind Bud can alter your perception. You need best-perception to handle firearms.

Lots of things alter perception. OTC cold meds. Driving for 10 hours straight. A couple of Bel Havens and a bowl of XXXhot green chile. Either a person has the judgment to leave their guns parked and in neutral when they're not thinking clearly or they don't. How do you legislate for and regulate that?

And when it comes to self defense should you be required to be perfectly sober and your reflexes in top form? Such as "no shooting under the hyperglycemic effects of too many donuts?"

Hey, ATF: it’s also illegal to sell guns to Mexican drug cartels.

You make it sound like we live in a country where state governors openly suggest that we suspend elections.
