ATF: Pot Users Can't Legally Own Firearms Regardless Of State Laws

[Text Drivers are Killers]

This is BS. The 2A does not say illegal drug users can be denied guns. Nor does it say felons can be. Nor does it say anyone can be denied guns because of an anonymous accusation - i.e. red flag laws. All adult americans not in prison have the constitutional right to own guns.

june 4 2023 ATF: Pot Users Can't Legally Own Firearms Regardless Of State Laws

According to the St. Paul ATF office, because marijuana is still illegal at the federal level, people who smoke weed or take marijuana edibles are "still federally defined as an 'unlawful user' of a controlled substance," and are therefore "prohibited from shipping, transporting, receiving, or possessing firearms or ammunition."

"Until marijuana is legalized federally, firearms owners and possessors should be mindful that it remains federally illegal to mix marijuana with firearms and ammunition," said ATF acting special agent in charge of the of the St. Paul field division, Jeff Reed.

Cannabis attorney Jason Tarasek of Vincente LLP says that the federal government has typically turned a blind eye and has "left states alone" when it comes to those which have legalized marijuana, but now "It's an interesting song and dance we're going through with the federal government."
