I think what they mean is the LEFT is currently fighting a civil war.
The right hasn't even begun to do anything at all.
Thus, legal marijuana use and firearm ownership are likely both at all-time highs. However, since federal law (18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3)) makes it a felony for an “unlawful user of … any controlled substance” to “possess … any firearm,” and since marijuana is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance, it is a felony for a user of marijuana to possess a firearm.
.
On November 14, 2016, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”) announced changes to Form 4473 – the form that federal law requires any transferee to complete before acquiring a firearm from a licensed dealer. Question 11.e on Form 4473 asks the purchaser: “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?” Among the changes, which will go into effect on January 16, 2017, is bold lettering warning potential transferees that “the use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medical or recreational purposes in the state where you reside.”
The change to Form 4473 does not represent a shift in ATF’s position: on September 21, 2011, ATF issued an Open Letter stating “any person who uses or is addicted to marijuana, regardless of whether his or her State has passed legislation authorizing marijuana use for medicinal purposes, is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, and is prohibited by Federal law from possessing firearms or ammunition.”
Like I said, legalization was a ruse to remove your 2nd amendment.
And it's 100% legal.
I agree 100%
Pretty fucked up times we live in.
It will get much worse, before it gets any better, I fear.
It's all part of a bigger game
Indeed.
Remember the stories of how they wanted to impede the Second Amendment regarding veterans and Social Security recipients
Absolutely.
That got kinda quiet, but I'm certain they're still at it with that.
My thinking is that the Second Amendment itself is Ironclad the only thing they can do is try and Whittle around the edges of it
And the increasing red flag laws.
Your thinking is 100% right on the money.
They will make the 2A like a tiny island, with a huge moat around it.
I haven't checked it in a long time but I'm assuming the number of gun sales each month is still at record highs
just look at the NICS checks.
and imagine the huge amount of private sales that also occur, when people buy weapons they take to the range a few times, then sell to their buddy.
...which don't show up on the NICS checks.
I suppose it's already counted by the original NICS check, but the point is that it's then owned by a 2nd or 3rd owner.
Which is good for the good guys, if the SHTF.
Yes I was just up there
What state are you in
Georgia
but I'll always be from Texas
lol
I think you're pretty safe there
The northern states are fucked though
Or I mean Northeast
Most definitely, on all statements.
I am reluctant to say that they deserve it, because there are still plenty of good folks up that way.
but in a parallel universe, they deserve it
I've been hearing scattered reports that people are resisting things like the 30 round magazine ban
Visiting New York Shitty is nice, but also a great feeling to GTFO of there again.
