Do you want crazy drug addicts owning guns?
Yes…I want crazy drug users to have the right to own guns.
So anyone who smokes weed, or takes magic mushrooms (psilocybin) or LSD - all of which I did at least once in my youth - is a "drug addict" and should be denied their 2nd Amendment rights to bear arms? Cannabis was 100% legal until 1937 - one year after the imbecilic film "Reefer Madness" was released to mass moral panic.
I want crazy drug addicts in jail where they can't have guns.

Obviously the question on the 4473 did not prevent it.
That’s a lot of teflon you’re putting on your argument’s slope there…
Who decides what is “crazy,” or “a drug” or what “addicted” means?
What OTHER classes, categories, colors, faiths would you or a progressive law decide shouldn’t own firearms?
“Shall not be infringed” is an absolute, not relative, or fungible term of art.
There was no law against it before 1968.
Yes.
Or to put it another way; I don’t want the FedGov, that has a vested interest in making sure they can put limits on any force multiplier the general population might bring to bear in response to the governments increasingly criminal actions, to continue to use an unConstitutional power to arbitrarily create “prohibited classes” of people.
But sure... “crackheads with guns” since that is apparently the limit on most people’s understanding of this issue.
I’m of the opinion that lying on the form should remain an offense, but a prohibition against possession outright is uncool.
Especially for pot users, who are FARRRR more likely to kill your bag of Doritos than a person.
And I haven’t puffed in more than two decades.
Crazy people should be locked up.
