Ah yes, the raging alcoholic that drinks a fifth a night of whiskey is perfectly fine to keep his constitutional rights, but the grandpa that has a prescription for cannabis from his doctor to treat his glaucoma doesn't. What about the people on prescription opioids? Also fine to tote, right? I hope this gets struck down by a higher court as it's obviously a crock of ****.
The 9th circuit makes another controversial ruling.
If you have a medical marijuana card, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals says that you can't buy a gun.
The court ruled 3-0 on Wednesday that a ban preventing medical marijuana card holders from purchasing firearms is not in violation of the Second Amendment, the Associated Press reports. There are nine western states under the appeals court's jurisdiction, including Nevada, where the case originated.

LMAO one of those is probably a horrible example you gave BUT I still agree with your premises and point 100%
(im just saying i read your 2nd example has "high old man who is going blind cant buy a gun" and I thought that maybe a good reason :lol: buuuuuut thats besides your point. The point is the card alone should NOT be a reason to trample rights and i agree)

Nevada's lege had the right to make the law.
The 9th has the right to uphold it.
SCOTUS has the right to overturn it, and I am not sure if it will.

Lol, I didn't look at it from that perspective, but just insert any of the dozens of conditions cannabis treats. No doubt though many of the same conservatives who preach the absolute sanctity of the 2nd amendment will come by and tell us why this is different and ok.
This isn't a 2nd amendment case. This is the federal law that anyone taking a controlled substance is not allowed to own a gun.
In court the state law will get tossed every time. The 9th court actually ruled correctly on is one.
I respectfully disagree.
Its a perfect example of how anti gun people want to use the law to restrict gun use to people that ARE NOT convicted violent criminals.
Over and over.. we are told.. "these restrictions.. background checks, etc are "reasonable" and are only designed to keep violent criminals from getting firearms. Why are you against that"
And when we gun owners say "well.. it can be used to restrict all sorts of citizens".. we are told "phsaw.. that's just crazy talk".
Well here it is... if you have a medical card.. you are not allowed to own or purchase firearms. AND that's why this went to court..

Disagree all you want. Won't make it true.
It has nothing to do with anti gun people.
If he didn't have the medical card he would be ok. Using or possessing a controlled substance by federal law
Forbids you from owning a firearm.
The atf even clarified it further.
You want to shoot a gun don't use controlled substances.
Makes sense.
Booze and cigarettes are "controlled substances". So are some cold medicines these days. I agree that no one should handle a firearm, drive a car, or do anything else dangerous while impaired. One's ability to become impaired does not make one permanently impaired and it certainly doesn't give the state the authority to revoke rights under the law.
Stupid rule.
You can get in huge trouble if you are shooting a gun and drunk.
But these are controlled one substances.
It isn't that state revoking rights. This is the atf and the federal government.
