.... 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?

Considering the law which makes it illegal is illegitimate (GCA of 1968) because it is an Ex Post Facto law (it altered the sentences of all felons, even if they’d already been served, to include the prohibition of firearms)... No, it’s not illegal. {Though the government will claim otherwise, because if they admit the invalidity they lose a lot of power.}

Sounds like an apologia for gun restrictions under the New Deal Commerce Clause.

Do you believe in a living, breathing Constitution on some issues?
