Have a medical marijuana card in Hawaii? No guns for you.

[BehindBlueI's]

Well I'm still waiting for someone to point out the law that disqualifies you for having an MJ card.

18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3) and common sense.

So a person could be convicted of violating 922(g)(3) if the only evidence against them was that they had a gun and an MJ card?

Be up to a jury, but sounds like probable cause at least.

Dude, they're the feds. They are going to come with a freight car full of evidence.

Your doctor, your girlfriend, your buddies, photos of you in and out of the dope store, e-mails/texts of you contacting the dope store, the dope store clerk, the two buddies from 9th grade that you smoked your first dope stick with, your dog, your girlfriend's dog, inter alia.

So me being someone who uses alcohol maybe 3-4 times per year, and not to excess, and not while I'm carrying/handling a firearm, should be banned from owning firearms?

No need to ban it, just ban anyone who uses it from owning a gun. Oh, and by "uses it" I mean "is legally qualified to buy it" since apparently they're the same thing.

I was being sarcastic.

I don't see anything except being a "user" or "addict" covered in the form.

Are you a "user" if you haven't used since the Clinton administration?

It depends on whether or not you have a girlfriend named Monica.

Generally a man's dog won't testify against him, because he's a good boy.

The GF's dog on the other hand isn't so loyal. She's usually just some b*tch.

One more way to limit or get rid of firearms. JMHO

Once the feds lean on your dog, he will roll over and play dead.

It didn't work with alcohol and it is NOT working with other substances like MJ. We as a society are no closer to winning the so-called war on drugs than when it started, and all we've accomplished is filling our jails and prisons with people who are self medicating.

I don't use drugs of any kind, including alcohol, and I still have yet to see a benefit to this insane war on drugs. All we are really accomplishing is the creation of black-market enterprises, just like the one that Al Capone built in the alcohol prohibition era.

So get the law changed. The law is what it is until its not. Most times, given knowledge of a violation, laws are going to be enforced.

Sandy Duncan and Sammy Davis, Jr. saw this coming from the left.

READ the letter completely

Using is the issue.

NOTE in the letter it also includes AMMUNITION..A federally unregulated purchase! Snuck one in on ya -- Look foreward to the future when a DRUG TEST will be required to purchase a firearm.. IT IS COMING

 

[HoughMade]

NOTE in the letter it also includes AMMUNITION..A federally unregulated purchase! Snuck one in on ya -- Look foreward to the future when a DRUG TEST will be required to purchase a firearm.. IT IS COMING

But regulated in the state.

Persons ineligible to purchase gun shows federally are also disallowed ammunition. Felons can possess neither firearms or ammunition.

So a person could be convicted of violating 922(g)(3) if the only evidence against them was that they had a gun and an MJ card?

If someone else picked up the tab for it, I would happily obtain the card for the purpose of being the "test case".

Consider:

I do not drink alcohol-containing beverages knowingly.
Full disclosure: I have had a sip of beer at age 5 and a sip of wine at age 13.
I have never actively used illicit drugs.
Full disclosure: I have had a "contact high" while working various concerts over the years.
I have never used scheduled drugs.
Full disclosure: I was given an injection of morphine at age 17 after the removal of my appendix, and that over my protests, AND
I was given a prescription by a dentist after the removal of a bad tooth. 18 months later, I shredded the prescription, unfilled.
I do not use tobacco or nicotine in any form.

Yes, I am boring. Don't care.

You want to make a case for me using because I have a piece of paper or plastic in my wallet? Pack a lunch. You're gonna have a LOT of work to do and it will end in disappointment for you.

It will have the pleasant side effect, however, of striking down BS rulings like this.

Blessings,
Bill

Just another tool for the government to disarm us next it will be anyone who has taken a antidepressant they might be unstable

Never mind the pharmaceutical drug dealers wouldn't want to loose any business they stick with the natural medical treatments

Nothing was snuck in. Dopers cannot possess firearms or ammunition. Already existing law.
