Here's the kicker. DOH!
[I said:Wilson said she was not a marijuana user, but obtained the card in part as an expression of support for marijuana legalization
I see. So just because I got an LTCH I MUST necessarily own a gun?

I agree on the 'shall not be infringed' ring...however I also think their MJ 'card' should not infringe on my safety. Make it legal but make them responsible for the damage they do. If the penalty for their lack of control is equal to the damage they do to others it will become self controlling. If it's just a slap on the wrist for killing/maiming others then it is not a balanced or orderly freedom.

I'd much prefer meet a baked driver than a drunk driver on the road.
Can pilots have a drink on their off time?
; Unless one is intoxicated without their knowledge or intent, actions committed while in that condition are still the responsibility of the person committing them.
I actually posted this story because I am disturbed by the precedent. The government has somehow accessed medical data and used it to deprive someone of their second amendment rights. What next, prohibitions if you have a scrip for pain killers or antidepressants?
Remember, give them an inch and they take your ruler
Not necessarily. Apparently in the case of medical marijuana card holders though the BATFE has decreed that it must be assumed that they are a user and I guess the court backs that up. Never said that I agree with it or anything else the BATFE does for that matter.I see. So just because I got an LTCH I MUST necessarily own a gun?

or that the penalty is not equal to the damage done. Personally, I think it's both.
Shooting a person while high is clearly worse than shooting a person while otherwise reckless, careless, negligent or just plain stupid.

To get your LTCH, did your doctor have to diagnose you with a serious medical condition and the medical need to have a handgun? Then, did you represent to the state that you had a medical need for the handgun?
Also known as "aggravating circumstances", which can add years to a prison sentence.
Form 4473, Question 11 (e): "Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any antidepressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?"
and on the back:
"I understand that a person who answers "yes" to any of the questions 11.b. through 11.k. is prohibited from purchasing or receiving a firearm."
So, the answer to your question is yes. Would that stop someone who is a chronic pain patient and takes oxycodone from buying a gun? Probably not, but you're taking a chance if you sign the form.
'Addicted to' is a rather subjective term, so pretty safe to answer no there as well.
You want to dance with the ATF on such a subjective term? Even if your scrip for oxy is valid, the ATF will likely consider you "addicted", no matter how long you've been using it.
Yes. Wouldn't care what the ATF considered me.
Until they come knocking with an arrest warrant for lying on your 4473...
