On a High Note…

Hemani did not rule out Section 922(g)(3) charges when the government presents additional evidence that a defendant poses a danger to public safety. But prior to Hemani, prosecutors typically did not do that. The question now is how federal courts should deal with such prior convictions: Should they simply be vacated, or should the government get another chance to offer evidence that would meet Hemani’s new requirements? [More]

I’m all for punishing the hell out of people who make the choice to misoperate a firearm, or car, or anything while intoxicated and then threaten and/or harm the innocent. But how stoned do you have to be to believe abridging a fundamental right and imposing a permanent prior restraint because someone MIGHT temporarily do something bad is consistent with Founding intent?

Pick Your Poison

March For Our Lives Backs Federal Gun Ban for Marijuana Users [More]

That’s just what they’ll admit to for now.

Don’t doubt they’re also for gun bans for alcohol drinkers.

And for gun owners.

They’re not the young, hip kids their professional PR flacks paint them out to be– they’re humorless, blue-nosed prohibitionists, biddies, and control freaks.

Up in Smoke

Are regular marijuana users the modern equivalent of “habitual drunkards” at the Founding? What about someone who regularly takes a sleep gummy? In oral arguments before the Supreme Court today in United States v. Hemani, the federal government argues that they are the same. [More]

“Full might,” eh?

What a mess.

Anyone who can’t be trusted with weed and a gun…

Or booze and a gun…

I’m thinking Bondi needs lithium therapy…

Sober Reasoning

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has vacated a three-year prison sentence for a man convicted of possessing a firearm while using marijuana, determining that the government’s ban on gun ownership for drug users cannot be applied indiscriminately. [More]

What you do with the gun is all that should matter.

And when are gun owners going to learn to stop talking to police?

Completer Sense

The crux of the opinion, that there is no rational justification to criminalize the possession of weapons, a fundamental right, just because someone smokes marijuana provided they aren’t doing the latter and former at the same time, makes complete sense. [More]

Holding people accountable for misusing a gun, regardless of such circumstances, makes more sense.

Pot Shots

The Second Amendment Foundation and a District Attorney in Pennsylvania have filed a federal lawsuit against Attorney General Merrick Garland, the heads of the FBI and ATF, and the U.S. Government, challenging the federal prohibition on gun ownership by medical marijuana users. [More]

There’s a Eugene Stoner joke in here somewhere…

Until such time as the smoke clears, I trust no one is making purchases with a credit card…?

Up in Smoke

5 gun law facts you should know before toking that first legal joint [More]

What a mess.

If you do indulge, wear a Covid face diaper in (and out of) the store, buy with cash, and don’t smoke in front of anyone you can’t trust. That, and lie on the 4473, because being coerced to rat yourself out is a human rights violation.

Just understand that if you get caught, evil people are going to hurt you badly.

Up in Smoke?

The same will be true this time around if voters legalize marijuana for recreational use. If you use marijuana, you lose your gun rights regardless of state law. [More]

No, you’ll lose recognition of your rights.

Don’t use a credit card and lie on the 4473, and don’t be/do/talk stupid, and chances are you won’t get caught.

The Bear Necessities, Eh?

Grizzly bear attack in Banff National Park leaves couple, dog dead [More]

Abetted and enabled by:

The use of firearms (including pellet guns, bear bangers, bows, sling shots etc.) and hunting are not permitted in Banff National Park. The possession of firearms is prohibited except at a person’s primary premises or in a motor vehicle that is travelling on a highway. During transport, firearms must be unloaded and in a case or wrapped and tied securely in such a manner that no part of the firearm is exposed.

Funny, what they do allow…

We’re the Only Ones Wasted Enough

Internal Revenue Service Employee Brandished Toy Gun at Service Center in Utah… Bryner also indicated he had a medical marijuana card and uses marijuana … Bryner made two attempts to purchase rifles from a federally licensed firearms dealer in Ogden, Utah. On both purchase forms, Bryner certified he is neither an unlawful user of nor addicted to marijuana. [More]

This was in March– I haven’t been able to determine what happened to the case, if anything yet.

I’m curious to see if he’s been offered the same “consent to permanent entry” deal as Hunter Biden.

We’re the Only Ones Stepping On Enough

A federal judge has found that a Kansas Highway Patrol practice known as the “Kansas Two-Step” violates motorists’ constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and targets motorists traveling from states where marijuana is legal. [More]

And if you don’t obey they’ll escalate to double-taps.

DOJ Prosecutes Black Mother On 4473 Drug Denial While Giving Passes to Democrats

That said, it’s also entirely appropriate to show how the so-called “justice system” treats the president’s son and a highly connected Democrat apparatchik differently than it does people of modest means and people of color FOR THE SAME CHARGE. [More]

It’s a big club Hunter Biden and Nikki Fried belong to, and unconnected black people ain’t in it.
