Medical Marijuana Card Holders Can Now Be Banned From Owning GunsBy Joshua Krause Five years ago a woman named S. Rowan Wilson tried to buy a firearm in Nevada after she received a medical marijuana card. The purchase was turned down by the gun store, because marijuana is still illegal at the federal level, and there are federal laws that prevent illegal drug users from buying firearms. That led to a lengthy court battle which concluded this week. The 9th circuit court decided 3-0, that banning the sale of firearms to a medical marijuana card holder, does not violate the Second Amendment. The court determined that since marijuana is still illegal at the federal level, and since it can be assumed that anyone possessing a medical card is probably using the drug, they can be prevented from buying a gun. Senior District Judge Jed Rakoff of the 9th circuit court, explained his ruling by saying that marijuana raises the risk of irrational or unpredictable behavior with which gun use should not be associated. So far theres no word on whether or not the court will prevent gun sales for consumers of alcohol, or any other legalized drug that causes unpredictable behavior.

I thought courts were bound to the parameters of the lawand facts in evidence. They were when they were operating under the peoples Constitutions. The courts and every other division of government have been morphed into separate service corporations no longer under the peoples controlwhich explains all the injustice and pillaging we are seeing in our de-facto government . If you thought that, you really are a west coast liberal. The courts exist to keep you in place while youre being raped. Go out, drink a bunch of booze, get skunk drunk, and them you are just fine to handle an AR-15 Um the individual states regulate gun laws. If your state says you are legal to have MJ then they have no more reason to prevent a gun sale or possession than if you have an OXY prescription. Shall not be infringed. This says that the federal government has no power over the ownership and or carrying of a firearm. { the 2nd amendment to the U S constitution} There are pharmaceutical drugs that are far worse than cannabis -aka- Marijuana in causing an individual to go manic and kill. They are freely pushed on many people who then go out and kill themselves or others. Couldnt you just not show them the card? If it shows up on a check that IS a violation of HIPAA. NO ONE has the right to see your medical records unless you authorize it. Also I thought gun laws are handled by the state like in Ohio we are allowed to open carry.
