This new advisory by the ATF is yet again an assault on Michigan’s state sovereignty and singularly targets the most law-abiding among us.

Michigan "legalized" a Schedule 1 drug and then decided that they would still issue a CCW to marijuana users. Alaska, which also has "legalized" marijuana has you complete a NICS supplement when applying for or renewing a CCW where you attest that you don't use illegal drugs, including marijuana. This is a federal form, so if you use marijuana and you state you don't use illegal drugs, you have just perjured yourself since marijuana use is illegal under federal law. When Michigan does the same, they will get their NICS exemption back.

But have you? What power has the FedGov been granted allowing it to make marijuana 'illegal'? Or any drug, really? That law is 'ultra vires', and I forget the legal term, but any law that is no good, was always no good. You can't get in trouble for breaking a law that has been found to be illegitimate. And many Federal laws just haven't reached that point yet.
