Federal Government: We Like Creating Criminals

Creating criminals of the sick, one way or another. WaPo:

Firearms dealers in states that allow medical marijuana can’t sell guns or ammunition to registered users of the drug, a policy that marijuana and gun-rights groups say denies Second Amendment rights to individuals who are following state law.

Federal law already makes it illegal for someone to possess a gun if he or she is “an unlawful user of, or addicted to” marijuana or other controlled substances. A Sept. 21 letter from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, issued in response to numerous inquiries from gun dealers, clarifies that medical marijuana patients are included in that definition.

Any sick person who both has a legal, state sanctioned prescription for marijuana and the desire to exercise their second amendment right is now a criminal. Either they will be a breaking state law by not possessing a medpot card, or they’ll be breaking federal law by buying a gun.

Excellent job, fed-pigs, excellent job.
