Marijuana & Guns, the Legal Risk is Very Real
Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- Marijuana, the Plot Thickens!
From a friend and lawyer:
“An inconvenient detail that is seldom mentioned in public is that in 18 USC 922(g) states it is unlawful for (3) a user of marijuana to possess ‘in or affecting commerce’ (who knows what that mumbo-jumbo means, except that the Feds firmly believe it means simply ‘to possess’) any firearm or ammunition.
No exceptions!
So, the issue is not simply that foolish marijuana-users in CO or ME expose themselves to severe risk when they lie while filling-out a form 4473 (as you noted in your last Quip).
All marijuana-users (medical or ‘recreational,’ makes no difference, and it probably also makes no difference when and how much you used, nor even if you haven’t touched it for years) are liable for ‘selective enforcement’, when they are in possession of so much as a single round of ammunition!
Maximum penalty for violating 922(g) is ten years in Federal prison and/or a $250k fine, plus having all your guns and ammunition seized and never returned.
It seems American marijuana-users in a number of states have suffered the famous Chinese Curse: ‘Having your wish granted, without ever considering the implications!’
Will the current Administration, or some future one, send federal officers to CO and ME to kick-in doors and confiscate guns and ammunition from all marijuana-users, and then drag them all off to prison?
Probably not during an election-year, but stranger things have happened!
We have not seen the ‘last chapter’ in this story yet!”
Comment:
Again, when even lawyers and judges are as confused with this state/federal law conflict as I am, I don’t feel quite so ignorant!
But in the area of personal advice, I’ve little doubt that I’m on firm ground when I strongly recommend that all Operators, and all other gun-owners, stay far away from marijuana and all other illegal drugs, in any form and for any reason, “medical” or otherwise.
All politicians are afraid of armed citizens. Always have been! Thus, any excuse to forcibly disarm large numbers, under any pretext, ever represents an extreme temptation!

I am a much better shot when I’m high. It makes it easier to concentrate and I’m more relaxed.
Want to buy a gun? Sure, fill out this form and piss in the cup.
This is true under statutory law. Statutory law is not constitutional. If you doubt this, show me in the Constitution where Roman Civil Law (RcL = statutory) is authorized. You won’t even find that phrase in the Constitution. The founding fathers were very clear-they hated RcL.
Why are you filling out a gov’t form (form 4473)? Every time you sign a gov’t form, you are creating a franchise agreement with the devil/gov’t. By doing so, you contract with them to regulate you. Welcome to slavery. Franchise agreements and the subsequent consequences are well established by supreme Court decisions.
Why is this reporter relying on a lawyer? They are the filthiest humans on the earth (or at least close). As Yahweh (God) says….they are vipers. There will not be one lawyer that makes it to Heaven.
Under the Common Law (for those jack-ass lawyers, I mean the pure Common Law), not one drug case would have resulted in a conviction. Under the Common Law (the pure…….), there must be a ‘body of the crime.’ In other words, someone must have been actually harmed (you know……an x-ray……doctor’s exam showing…..etc.). If not, NO CRIME. Show me where a person smoking a joint has harmed someone (maybe 1% of all who are high). The actual act of smoking a joint or possessing a bag of weed has not harmed ANYONE !!!!! (even though I do not agree with any drug use….that’s not the issue).
