Talk going around about the court ruling that people with pot prescriptions can't buy guns,, BECAUSE pot, at the federal, level is still illegal..
I tend to go with this position.. but would rather they just make it legal and be done with it..
The Conundrum, Quandry, and Horn of the Delama(S)??
SO,, It seems to reason that if you follow the above "legal position" that someone wants a federal registry of people with pot prescriptions so when you get your ATF check, they can block your purchase(S)..
Do we add people with other prescriptions? Oxicotton? Percodan? Percaset? How about a registry of C-Card purchases of Beer, Wine, & Whisky?? AND don't forget people that have DUI convictions, or spousal abuse?
Who else should be in this SUPER REGISTRY of people that can't purchase weapons??
Maybe Democrats? Religious Fanatics(to be determined by a bi-partisan committee),, GAYS?? People with low IQ's (to be determined by a bi-partisan committee), anyone that has every had STD's??
AND while we are at it,, Maybe we should use this registry to prevent DUI convicts from purchasing a vehicle??
Or people with low IQ's from buying books?
OR Spousal abusers from getting married??
Net Net,, Think long and hard before you create a LIST..

Court Rules That Medical Marijuana Card Holders Can't Buy Firearms
By Michal Addady September 1, 2016
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.
A lawsuit was filed in 2011 by Nevada resident S. Rowan Wilson after she tried to purchase a gun for self-defense and was denied based on a federal ban on the sale of guns to users of illegal drugs. Though marijuana has been legalized in some places on a state-by-state basis, it remains illegal under federal law. The court maintained that drug use “raises the risk of irrational or unpredictable behavior with which gun use should not be associated.”
