They are using the full force of the federal government to threaten people whose crime is renting, not breaking federal criminal law. Make that renting to businesses allowed under state law.

Duffy told California Watch, "I am willing to read (the law) expansively, and if a court wants to more narrowly define it, that would be up to the court."

Therein lies the problem with these poorly written, broad based drug laws. Especially when the Federal Leviathan can simply seize your assets before proving anything in a court.

Interesting... The Obama administration wants to disarm Californians with state issued "Medical MJ" cards, but all the while they've been arming the drug cartels in Mexico and possibly other countries...

“Last month, his Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives issued a memo that stated that it is unlawful for anyone with a state-issued medical marijuana card to possess a gun or ammunition.”

No firearms for those dangerous untermensch (my tagline).

The next memo will be to restrict those dangerous racist tea parties and hater homophobic Christians from owning firearms.

THIS is because American grown marijuana is more potent and cheaper than the illegal MEXICAN pot. Guess who they would rather have reaping the profits.
They want reduced potency so you will need twice as much of the bad stuff which will cost way more and the MEX cartels will be more than glad to brave the border to get it to ya. /sarc

Don’t think the two are unrelated. California homegrown making inroads on the Cartels’ profits? Can’t have that!

Thanks Kaslin.
Last month, his Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives issued a memo that stated that it is unlawful for anyone with a state-issued medical marijuana card to possess a gun or ammunition.

Drug war will never end, too many jobs and nations depend on it.

Want to see AG Holder do the fish out of water routine?

Ask him what his comprehensive plan for winning or even ending the drug war is. Hell, ask any legislator or LE Agency.

There is none.

The Drug War is responsible for some of the most egregious violations of the 4th Amendment in US history. It has led to tens of thousands of deaths of US and Mexican nationals and it will continue unabated.

Not only that, but BILLIONS of dollars wasted. It's like the war on poverty, it never ends and it just keeps getting worse but the money keeps on flowing.

Gotta keep creating those govt. jobs ya know.

When you don’t want to let a good crisis go to waste, you’re motivated to create an additional crisis or two along the way.

This is just another example of creating a crisis where none existed before.

Lenin invented a method of governance called “agitprop,” in which propaganda was promoted by the state not to convince people of something but to inflame their emotions. When the emotions of the masses are inflamed, they’re easier to manipulate.

This feels the same to me, although the feelings that Obama and his cohorts are trying to inflame are designed to undermine and ruin the existing system. It’s being done in a hundred different ways, but all with the purpose of alientating the citizens from their own government.

I’d guess that the goal is to destroy the system and then have it replaced with whatever government Obama and his cohorts want - probably a Leninist-Marxist state. A fair number of people will either be too young to remember things as they were, or too daft to recall history, and those will be the supporters for the new order.

I really hope I’m full of crap. God help us.

...What ever side you take, on any issue, BHO wants to take away any and all individual rights to freedom. But, join the collective and the DOJ will give you a waiver on any and all illegal activities. It’s time to flush this turd Administration into the Potomac Bowl...

The “war on drugs” has been used and abused. But let’s not imagine a psychoactive Eden in it’s absence. Self-control and intoxication have always had a rocky public relationship, tempting intervention.
