How many people here have more than a 12 pack in there pantry or fridge. Or lets say a 5th of any type of alcohol. I dont advocate smoking pot or any other illegal drug.

But.... jeeez to sieze $20-30k of firearms for a substance that wouldn't even come close to intoxicating a person more than what most of us have legally.

The 12 pack is legal, as would be 100 cases of whiskey. The marijuana is not. Pretty simple, really. If these folks (who should be aware of the rules) did not want this problem, they only had to ditch the drugs. Simple.

It isn't a question of how much or how messed up they would get, although .42 oz of grass should get them higher than they want in one sitting unless it is real crap. The question comes down to this: our culture has problems with people in posession of controlled substances and firearms at the same time. Heck, we don't even like drunks running around with a loaded gun.

If you think the law is in error, change the law, or defy it at your own risk.

The issue here isn't really a Second amendment issue, it is a firearms/drug posession issue. If the drug had been LSD or ecstacy, would you still feel the same?
