But, it’s NOT illegal to buy weapons with my tax dollars and give them to drug cartels?

Let me drop this out there for you.

“pseudoephedrine”, a decongestant allergy treatment, is “a controlled substance” now.

The next president needs to abolish the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. And the EPA, the Department of Education, the TSA......

Will they also be required to post a sign saying ‘This stash unguarded’ in a prominent place?

Sorry, I’m actually with the ATF on this one, until such time as the 4473 form is changed to exclude marijuana. That’s a whole different argument, and I might be opposed to that exclusion, since (by experience) I know full well Kind Bud can alter your perception. You need best-perception to handle firearms.

But no problem selling a weapon to someone that stops at the liquor store on his way home.

Basically means card-carrying liberals can’t buy guns. Since liberals are gun-haters who attach super mystical black-magic powers to the gun itself, it is doubtful any of them want the guns anyway. On the whole, this will inconvenience a grand total of three people in the entire country.

ATF has outlined its purpose - if it ever had one.

Its time this GESTAPO of paramilitary thugs was defanged permanently and “Fast and Furious” is the tonic with which to purge it - permanently.

So let me get this straight...

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.

It will get worse.

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.

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

Um, as I recall, there are no restrictions on sale of guns or ammo to individuals who have prescriptions for other possibly mind-altering drugs.

Having said that, I am not a fan of so-called 'medical marijuana' as I am not convinced of it's value. Also, it certainly seems that in states that allow it, almost anyone can get a "prescription".

Stevens wrote the opinion that held that the Constitution allows federal regulation of homegrown marijuana as interstate commerce.

Obama appeals health care setback to high court (Stevens: Health-Care Law Has Precedent)

I wonder how the Drug Warriors will feel when the same precedent that upheld their anti-some-drug laws are used to uphold the individual mandate.

.... Second Amendment rights to individuals who are following state law ....

The Second Amendment deals with constitutionally protected rights regarding firearms and the USSC has ruled that government has the legislative authority to narrowly control who can and can not have access to them and thus is a Federal law and currently if I'm not mistaken a state law does not supersede nor supplant a federal law. If I'm not mistaken federal statute still makes possession and or use of marijuana a federal offense. Therefore is it not a crime to sell a gun to a known drug possessor or user under federal law?

It is, however, perfectly legal to sell Assault Weapons (in the ATF’s own vernacular) to stooge “Gunwalkers” dozens at a time, who immediately transport these ATF ASSAULT WEAPONS to Mexican Criminals across the border - Perfectly Legal - right. FUATF
