If you look at Form 4473, question 21.G it says "unlawful user, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant....". So technically the ATF could actually arrest excessive users of alcohol purchasing firearms. Instead they make up arbitrary new definitions and rulings to force on people that actually responsibly handle their firearms. Isn't it great?
I had to swear I don’t use marijuana in order to renew my concealed permit. Lol
I swear guys. Swear. >

The thing with those laws is that of course you lied. So then, if you were ever caught with weed while driving or anything, it allowed them to genuinely fuck you. It worked great on minorities. >

"It was true when I signed, but then things like... changed, man." >

I used to smoke weed. Still do but I used to as well. >

Gone too soon. He was great. >

“I didn’t even know he was sick” >

I mean he overdosed on a speedball >

It's a Norm Macdonald joke >

No it’s a Mitch hedberg joke >

I was thinking of Mitch. >

Good for him! Now someone needs to take it further up and get it taken off the 4473. >

The ATF doesn’t care about law. They’ll keep it to dissuade people until a court forces them to take it off. >

yup, the ATF love it. "You do drugs and lied on the form, thanks for the money" >

Or they'll say it's ok for a decade, then change their minds and make you a felon. >

This one hurts. An "opinion" of a bureau can ruin many lives. >

Good. I'd trust a stoner with a gun more than I would an alcoholic. >

There's a good chance we'd forget to load it, for starters. >

Because we forgot the super safe place we stashed the ammo. >

And the combination to the gun safe >

As one who keeps my buds and edibles in a safe due to kids in the house, I can attest this is a real -world problem >

I have a decoy safe in an obvious place with some important documents in it, and a hidden safe elsewhere with more sensitive stuff.  Give them the satisfaction of thinking they found the secret and throw them off the scent. >

I can  find  your  safe  with a  stud finder way faster than you  ever thought >

Too bad I'm standing around and throwing off it's readings! >

Pro tip, if you switch the stud finder to look for metal studs it'll go off on your crotch (if you're wearing jeans since it finds the zipper.) Then switch it back to wood and hand it to a friend and watch them find nothing. Laugh and say "Guess you're not a stud".
Don't ask why I know this works... >

Plot twist: your friend has a wooden prosthetic >

Been waiting for some of these to pop up. >

Been that way in michigan for a while >

It is from desperation absolutely. That and feeling helpless or trapped. Americans are stressed the fuck out and it’s because of corporate dominance over workers and the populace. Ads everywhere, debt everywhere, fees everywhere, exorbitant expenses for healthcare and education. And in more civilized countries all that money goes into keeping the country nice and the citizenry happy, where ours just goes to the c-suite and we see nothing in return. Our problems are serious and many and they’re systemic. >

My grandfather owned a wood mill.  Big lumber drove him out of business in the late 60's.
My whole life he worked at 1 place.  The hardware store.
Grandma was a SAHM.  They bought a house and raised a family on his income and benefits from working 40 hours a week at the hardware store.
That version of the USA is dead.  The greedy asshats stole it away from the American people. >

One step closer to the dream of gay couples protecting their weed plants with full auto guns. >

I believe and support my gay neighbors right to protect their marijuana farm with fully automatic rifles. >

Amen to that >

I would also appreciate it if they shared. Crops or ammo. Or BBQ recipes. Just be neighborly man >

BBQ is the shit >

Invest in a cheap(ish) charcoal smoker, learn a recipe for making your own bbq sauce AND/OR dry rub, buy a 12 pack, and tell the wife you’ll see her at dinner time
She will either love it, or leave you. But you’ll have all the ribs so really, she’s the one losing out >

What do you usually do while they smoke? Is it an active process or can you make a nice day of it with video games? >

Smoking doesnt really take so long, tbh. 4-ish hours.  Get a wifi thermometer with two probes, with a lower and upper limit alarms.  Use one to monitor the chamber, use the other in the meat.  You've got a few hours to 'watch' the cooker, usually from the 'workshop.' >

Smoker and a workshop? Living the dream tbh, throw in a steam deck or PS5 and it sounds like paradise. 
I like that meat smokers are online now too lmao. >

Yeah, that’d be a pretty stupid ban. You hear stories frequently of someone getting drunk and shooting themselves, people or their spouse. But you never hear of someone eating mad edibles and going on a rampage. >


eating mad edibles and going on a rampage.

Only on the snack cabinet >

My Oreos are gone AGAIN! >

Oh, the humanity! #Thoughtsandprayers >

Whoever did this is no human, all that was left were crumbs. >

Good. It’s stupid that if it’s legal in your state that you are risking federal retaliation. >

Especially if it's prescribed under the medical program. If there is no restriction for other prescribed medications and we are finally supposed to be treating cannabis as a legit form of treatment, this needed to happen. 
You should not have to choose between your health and your firearm ownership. >

Not that I agree with it, but this is a common argument I hear about red flag laws around mental health. That people will avoid getting help because they might lose their guns with a diagnosis.
When in reality, it's just plain hard to get mental health help. We should still take guns away from people with certain diagnoses. Maybe temporarily, maybe not. >

In some states, children with a diagnosis of ADHD or autism are legally required to be given special education. Since special ed. programs are often dens of academic neglect, some child psychologists and parents conspire to omit an official diagnosis to keep their child enrolled mainstream. >

I can confirm this first hand. Many schools, just having an IEP or diagnosis means getting dumped in with the mentally handicapped kids, which tends to be pretty miserable. Any kind of self-paced learning would be vastly preferred over that. >

this is a half measure. 
a ban on marijuana users is immoral bullshit. >

Remember when they ruined FPSRussia because he smoked a little green? >

This is exactly where my mind went. Would this open a way for Kyle to return? >

Doubtful. Not only was his murdered business partner the one holding the Federal licenses to obtain such weapons but Youtube is straight up anti-gun now. They will remove your video for showing such top secret things as inserting a loaded magazine into a firearm or attaching a suppressor plus a whole host of other things that basic firearms reviewers and showmen like FPSrussia did without a second thought only just last year. >

Good. It's ridiculous and impedes people who use it as medicine to have protection. >

And yes people who just use it recreationally still should be allowed to own firearms. If people can consume alcohol as much as they want and have firearms then the biggest 24/7 stoner should be able to have them too. >

Yeah, straight up I'm more worried about a drunk driver or drunk with a gun - than I am with someone on marijuana. >

I think the TryGuys did a video on YouTube a while back where they were on a closed track and consumed a fair amount of various intoxicants. If I remember correctly, they arrived at the same conclusion. I've also unfortunately been a passenger while the driver was intoxicated (rideshare drivers, reported the shit out of them) and my experience also agrees. >

Yeah the issue is basically that you aren't on a set course, you are in a live environment.  That being said the unfortunate issue is that there's no good test for how high you are so it's gonna remain heavily restrictive.  
We've all seen somebody totally missing something right in front of them before. >

To be more specific, we don’t have a good marker for the amount of the drug that’s actively available in someone’s system. In addition to retention in fat deposits that can be released into the body after cessation, cannabinoids are endogenous to the human body. 
There are some common sense steps to take, however, to better hold drivers accountable: saliva and blood testing. Both equalize the detectable window of the test to cannabinoids relative to water-soluble substances including cocaine and opiates >

Marijuana safer than alcohol mentally and physically, and safer than tobacco, and less addictive.  The drug war has been a failure because it was never meant to stop drugs. >

Makes sense. Look at the proportion of boozed up shooters compared to stoners who lose it. Much safer to be around the smokers. >

Not to mention strung out on over-prescribed psych meds and legal opiates & amphetamines that are peddled by major corporations.... >

Definitely agree with this. This shouldn't be a reason to ban people from owning firearms. >

And yet drunks of all shades owning guns was never up for debate. >

Yeah I listened to a police lieutenant try to argue to my why no one with a medical marijuana card should be allowed to own a gun but any other medication is just fine. His argument was about as dumb as you can imagine. Basically boiled down to because I say so!
ETA it was probably the only gun control measure he agreed with because to him it hurt the “right” people >

He probably makes all the officers under him wish they could smoke on their days off. >

I work with officers regularly & the one thing they all agree on is that they wish they could partake. Manu say it's the first thing they plan doing when they retire. >

Who was it that said something along the lines of: "if you put a bunch of gangsters in a room with a bong, they'll work things out. If you put a bunch of people in a room with alcohol, someone's getting shot" >

Good, was designed as a racist law to disarm minorities. >

California used gun control to disarm Black Panther groups when Reagan was governor. Gun control has always been to harm minorities. >

With the explicit help of the NRA. The bills author was quoted saying it couldn't have happened without the. >

The NRA was pretty much only a pro gun organization after the revolt in the 70s and before the 2000s. It was Fudd central before and now is corrupt to the core. >

NRA is junk. GOA is fighting the fight now >

Good.
I have zero interest in smoking weed but like that I (and everyone else) can do so without risking their rights. >

I can finally stop lying on the background check forms lmao >

Finally something we all agree on >

I feel like this has racism written all over it. Let’s stop a certain group that police stop regularly from owning legal guns. >

'Ban on marijuana ~~users owning guns~~ is unconstitutional, U.S. judge rules'
Someday soon, maybe. >

I'm less afraid of a stoned person with a gun than I am a drunk person with a gun. >

Finally, letting gay married couples protect their Marijuana plants with guns. >

I feel like it’s the alcoholics they should worry about >

I shed a single tear while saluting a bald eagle in flight. >

Lmao gtfo. The last thing I’m worried about when I’m high is shooting somebody. I’m just tryin to figure out where the pizza at. >

Favorite pizza topping combo go >

Spicy red sauce, mozz feta, pepperoni, Italian sausage, bell peppers onion banana peppers minced garlic
Also why did someone comment and say my understanding of the news was rather nil? >

Damn that sounds good >

Sounds like heartburn. But yes, also good as hell >

The amount of people who drink and shoot is more concerning to me than someone that casually smokes. I've never met someone smoking weed while shooting.
Drinking at anytime = OK to OWN guns.
Smoking weed at anytime = permanently illegal to own guns.
Ridiculous.
