But
here as 23 states and counting legalize marijuana for medical and/or
recreational use is a surprising fact
Section
922(g) of the Gun Control Act of 1968 now the law of the land
Provides
that anyone using or addicted to illegal drugs, the sale of guns to them must
be banned
A
Nevada woman who had obtained a medical marijuana card tried to buy a gun to no
avail
Sued
the gun shop owner and the ATF in federal court but the gun shop and the ATF
prevailed
Trial
judge dismissed the case though the plaintiff alleged no marijuana use
Another
example of the dogs of war on the 2nd Amendment being set loose
The
9th Circuit by a 3-zip vote upheld the lower court
When
it comes to defending the 2nd Amendment these leftist judges came up
way short
In
a decision almost out of a caricature from Reefer
Madness the court found marijuana use and gun ownership poses a risk to the
public too great
One
wonders what these august judges were smoking or sniffing with rolled $100 bills
from their plates
When
was the last time we have heard reports of someone being shot?
By
a medical card owner for medical uses who had used pot?
Evidence
of irrational behavior beyond dispute?
More
like evidence the War on the 2nd Amendment firmly taking root
The
court has just eliminated the rights of countless medical card holders to with
a firearm protect themselves from attack
Based
on a flawed reasoning with evidence and common sense completely lacks
By
the same reasoning will residents of states like Colorado have to take drug
tests to see if they have used
Whether
occasionally or frequently or with heavy use abused?
It
is now more difficult for a law abiding patient using medical marijuana to buy
a firearm
Than
someone on the “No Fly List” who is a more likely suspect to cause deadly harm
Possessing
a medical marijuana card legally in a state is not a federal crime
Hope
the NRA steps up to the plate and appeals as this decision seems over the top,
way over the line!
