The 9th is the poster child for why having the correct SCOTUS appointments is the only real protection we left for our personal freedom and liberty - yet another vivid example of why many people held their nose and pulled the lever for Trump.
That's actually not controversial and is one of the reasonable rulings of the 9th Circus.
ATF: Illegal to sell guns to med marijuana users - US news - Crime & courts | NBC News
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 haven't read it, but it sure seems ridiculous. But then, it may be the policy defended that is ridiculous than the decision itself. They cannot say "well, I think this policy is stupid so....unconstitutional!"
If people who buy alcohol can own firearms, let alone people with DUIs or other alcohol-related charges, then why the hell shouldn't medical pot users be allowed?
It's the drunks who get violent, anyway.
So if this case is upheld, then the state laws making pot legal will get overturned using this case as a precedent for Fed. law immediately overriding state law. All someone has to do to reverse the legalization of pot has do to is file suit, claiming that the states are in violation of Fed. law and this case provides the precedent to kill those state laws.
The 9th already tossed the case. It could go to the SCOTUS but I doubt they will hear it.
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.
They don't tend to hear 2A cases because under strict scrutiny they would be forced to repeal a great deal.
Sure it does.
if you weren't required to fill out the federal form asking if you were a user of marijuana in order to purchase a gun.. then he would be okay.
Medications, alcohol, and tobacco etc.. are all controlled substances.
See the atf. They will explain it too you.
A simple google search will help educate you on this subject.
Broad brush laws are suspect. Many gun owners may, or may not, obtain a MM card at any time, use prescription drugs, or drink at their leisure. But we also have to ask why a person obtained a MM card? Are they i.e. depressed?
The real question should be, how do we narrow down a law to be fair without trampling on individual rights?
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.
