Pro Marijuana Groups Actively Trying To Overturn Law Denying Users To Bear Arms
BALTIMORE (WJZ)– As more marijuana dispensaries begin to operate in Maryland, some users are realizing they are not allowed to own a gun.
Federal law prohibits anyone who uses any form of marijuana from owning a gun.
The rule isn’t new. The question about marijuana use has long been on the federal questionnaire to get approved for a gun, but it’s now coming to some people’s attention.
Marijuana users who are enjoying the new found freedom to use the drug; are finding out they’ve lost the right to bear arms.
Pro marijuana groups are actively trying to change the law.

As more states become legal medicinal and recreational wise this issue is due to looked into.
For those who grow medicinally at home for their health issues deserves the right to protect themselves. Traditionally in the eyes of many and in the law guns and drugs don't mix. Though, the gaining widespread use of medicinal cannabis use pro groups are heading in the right direction.

Is there a single recorded case of someone burning the herb and committing a gun crime?
SA- In all of My years in Law Enforcement I NEVER had contact w/someone who used Cannabis and then beat anyone up, shot anyone. The only arrest I did make for Cannabis was because 'the guy' circumvented the neighborhood's electricity to the tune of $240/k.
Also in My experience, if the folks had Cannabis it was used 'medicinally' and usually to come down from using stimulants e.g. coc aine; methamphetamine.

Well, the people in the states that legalized it should have considered some in our government want people to lose their right to bear arms. Once you get on the list, there is no gun for you anymore I suppose.

Holy Sweet Jesus and the Baby Jesus, you ever actually sit down and read the Constitution? It's not a list of things the government can do, it's a list of everything it cannot do.

The founding fathers didn`t give us our rights, according to the founding fathers themselves our rights were bestowed upon us by god himself , so I`m wondering why god would give humans the "right" to own a material item that wasn`t even invented yet.
