They tried to pass a bill to make it legal for marijuana users to be able to buy guns 2 years ago.If you think the Ds didn't use this as a back door to firearms prohibition, your tinfoil hat isn't on tight enough.

Trump did not have an ATF head, the head of was an Acting Position, no on has been confirmed in that position until this last guy by Biden, before him it was 15 years since the last confirmed head of the ATF. Regardless ATF cannot change federal law based on the classification of marijuana. Again, most here saw the train wreck that was to be once marijuana was decriminalized. There were numerous threads about how dispensaries had to contract protection of their shops due to federal laws.Well I'm not you unfortunately, or? I don't think Dems were thinking along those lines. Don't give them that much credit. Why didn't Trumps ATF Director change that written policy?
I's sure this has been discussed to death but I will add my insignificant thought to it. I don't think the form needs to be changed at all. I do think that simply because someone has a MM, it doesn't make them a habitual user. It's that simple. I bet I used less than 6 times in 2021, and none this year. Yet I am a habitual user by the ATF's thinking. Yet I have to get a dui thrice for them to think I'm a drunkard, when we all know anyone who who is caught twice has not been caught 10's or hundreds of times. That reasoning is a stretch in my tiny brain.
Because legally he couldn't do that. The FDA would have to remove it from being listed as a schedule 1 drug.Well I'm not you unfortunately, or? I don't think Dems were thinking along those lines. Don't give them that much credit. Why didn't Trumps ATF Director change that written policy?
You are correct it’s not on the 77, but it is on the 4473, which you also fill out.I just read the form 77R. It doesn't ask if I have ever had a MM card. It only asks if I am a addict or habitual user of an controlled substance. I can truthfully answer no to that question. Why is this even an issue then?
This is the problem, and it will exist until the Devil’s Lettuce is federally legal.You are correct it’s not on the 77, but it is on the 4473, which you also fill out.
MM might be legal in the state, but it’s still an illegal substance per federal law. The 4473 is a federal form, and there is the issue. It’s listed a 21E in the picture I attached
Yep!This is the problem, and it will exist until the Devil’s Lettuce is federally legal.
This is the reason why Hunter should be prohibited/in jail for lying on the form.You are correct it’s not on the 77, but it is on the 4473, which you also fill out.

Legalize MJ on the federal level, change the forms (federal and state) to define habitual use as two DWIs, problem solved.I just took and HQL course this past weekend and this subject came up, almost inadvertently. It made me straighten up because I had a valid MM card up until January of this year. I let it lapse because my back pain (the reason for the script) had lessened over time and I hadn't had the need to use in many months. It never occurred to me that the prescription would be cause to deny my right to own a hand gun. I know now this had been posted on this site many times, but I also didn't know about this site until today.
The problem is our country is too big to sufficiently cover everything with legislation. Legislators are not remotely experts in their field and you already gets multi hundred page bills. Out of that you get thousands of pages of regulation (most of it isn't something 99.9% of people would need to worry about. They include things like exactly how a federal agency should be doing its work, not administrative "law").It sounds to me like you just need to be patient until next January, and you'll be in the clear.
Meanwhile, let this be an educational introduction to the problem of bloated government and the tyranny of the Administrative State.
Most of government consists of unelected bureaucrats and administrators who spew mountains of regulations which have the force of law. This is in defiance of the constitution.
In this case, your civil rights are being denied, not by the law so much, as by regulations and interpretations of regulations produced by these untouchable bureaucrats. Your rational arguments mean nothing to those people.
The Administrative State has completely overwhelmed constitutional government since the administration of Woodrow Wilson, and even before.
But you should be okay next January, which will be here before you know it.
You can always turn in your MM card and just tell a friend with a MMC to buy what you need. It’s a bs but their is always a work around.So I guess we just spent a bunch of money for nothing....we were just told by the state police that are going to be denied due to the fact that we are "habitual" users of Medical Marijuana. I said first of, habitual implies that I use marijuana due to a habit, I use it occasionally along with CBD for a medical condition (scleroderma) rather than be on Oxy's or Percs or other narcotics.
So I guess our choice is:
A. Turn in the MM Card and start taking Percs, Oxy and whatever narcotics they will throw at us AND THEN we can possess a handgun.
B. Continue with our MM usage for medical purposes and load up on rifles, shotguns, sling shots, bow and arrow or whatever the hell else we want to just NOT a handgun.
I also did not see this one the Maryland licensing website, the website of the instructor for the HQL class nor did they address it in class.
Any thoughts on this????
Also perjury.You can always turn in your MM card and just tell a friend with a MMC to buy what you need. It’s a bs but their is always a work around.
that is OK if you are a Democrat.Also perjury.
Out of curiosity, would that be a straw purchase? Asking for a friend.You can always turn in your MM card and just tell a friend with a MMC to buy what you need. It’s a bs but their is always a work around.
A straw purchase marijuana? Hell if know I would take my chances with that versus a handgun lol I will prefer to be legally armed and then just get the weed however I get itOut of curiosity, would that be a straw purchase? Asking for a friend.
The fact you will "get the weed" means you will not be legally armed.A straw purchase marijuana? Hell if know I would take my chances with that versus a handgun lol I will prefer to be legally armed and then just get the weed however I get it
What they don’t know won’t hurt them. Get legally armed. And work the rest out. If you know you know.The fact you will "get the weed" means you will not be legally armed.
