In the interest of full disclosure, I have a mad-on for weed, legal and otherwise. So pot would never be an issue for me. I have no problem with alcohol consumers owning firearms. If they use them while impaired, that’s another subject. Ditto for any other legal drug. Denying someone the right to bear arms minus criminal conviction or a mental health finding, however, shouldn’t and hopefully won’t pass constitutional muster.
Stop.
You had me at “I have a mad-on for weed”.
The problem is that most of us see the firearms right as a federal one, and marijuana is illegal under federal law.
Most of us believe that state laws should not be able to pre-empt our federal firearms rights under the constitution.
Alcohol possession is not illegal under federal law, and neither are prescription meds.
Marijuana possession is illegal under federal law even if your state has allowed you a prescription for it.
It is sort of like being a bit two faced.
People want the state law to pre-empt federal law about marijuana, but don’t want the state law to pre-empt federal law about gun rights.
Not sure how to resolve it as I don’t want marijuana legalized nationally.
