New federal bill would remove gun ownership restrictions from medical marijuana patients

New federal bill would remove gun ownership restrictions from medical marijuana patients

A Republican member of Congress has proposed a bill that would permit licensed medical marijuana users the right to buy and own a gun.

West Virginia U.S. Rep. Alexander Mooney introduced bill H.R. 2071, dubbed the “Second Amendment Protection Act,” that provides an exemption for medical marijuana users from federal firearm prohibition laws, according to Guns.com.

The bill would amend Section 922 of title 18, United States Code with the exception, “an individual shall not be treated as an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance based on the individual using marijuana for a medical purpose in accordance with State law.”

Because of the classification, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives deems any sale or possession of firearms by those who use marijuana a criminal offense.

How does...

Eh, never mind. I was going to ask a Federalism question and how this squares with the Federal scheduling of MJ.

Seems to me the more logical Constitutional thing would be to write out a Federal medical licensure but I'm a bit of a literalist.

Why are we even fucking around when it comes use of any drug of chemical? It's not the role of the government to tell you what you can and can't put in your body. It's the role of the government to tell you what's safe to put in your body, and let you decide.

It's as simple as that.

The government is trying to let people who smoke have no restrictions. What aren’t you tracking??? Right now you can’t have a pistol permit if you smoke marijuana medically. This congressman wants to make it so u can have both.

So... I should be somehow enthusiastic that some congressman wants to "Permit" a citizen the ability to exercise their "Rights"...

Seems to me just another oxymoron as if it is indeed a "Right" then the Gov't shouldn't have need to permit you to do it, use it, exercise it in any way, shape or form. Hmmmmm... Especially that particular Right was worded and recognized specifically as to "shall not be infringed"...

West Virginia U.S. Rep. Alexander Mooney introduced bill H.R. 2071, dubbed the “Second Amendment Protection Act,” that provides an exemption for medical marijuana users from federal firearm prohibition laws, according to Guns.com.

The bill would amend Section 922 of title 18, United States Code with the exception, “an individual shall not be treated as an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance based on the individual using marijuana for a medical purpose in accordance with State law.”

Well, then the ATF should start busting citizens who use medicinal marijuana and let's get this going to the SCOTUS... The quicker the better!

Remember, any law - is not a Law - if it is written in contradiction to any constitutional "Rights"... So Sect. 922 of Title 18 USC is already null and void IMO! I love the mere fact that the Bill even being introduced is an admittance of the Gov't Infringing upon the 2A.

Anyways, just smoke it if you got it and stay off those registries... Lol

But that is what you said, whether you meant to or not. The government has no business in regulating either, there is no "better than nothing".

Ok but the point is it is being regulated right now and they want to deregulate it. So yes, it is better than nothing.
