ATF: Pot Users Can't Legally Own Firearms Regardless Of State Laws. (The ATF Is An Unconstitutional Agency. NIFO.)

Excerpt:
"The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) warned in a Tuesday advisory that Minnesota residents who use marijuana cannot legally own firearms despite the recent legalization of cannabis for recreational use.
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.
That warning from the ATF is concerning for Second Amendment rights advocate Rob Doar, vice president of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus. He said he's long been aware of the state-and-federal cannabis contradiction, whether it's for medical or recreational use.
Doar urges gun owners to be aware of the risks, even though under Minnesota's new law, sheriffs cannot deny someone a permit to carry solely because they are enrolled in the medical cannabis program or are an adult using marijuana. -CBS News"

Despite what states allow the fedgov still considers pot illegal and will prevent firearms purchase.
FedGov is the source of most problems.
They are the enemy of liberty.

drug use destroys lives and families
That is the ATF's position. Take a legal drug for pain relief, you lose your 2nd amendment rights.
The constitution is clear and the feds are in violation contrary to their sworn oaths.
The ATF should be shut down and all those who (just followed orders and) violated 2nd amendment rights should go to prison.
Those in F troop and the FBI who killed innocent people should be executed for murder and treason, and all their assets distributed to the victims.
or does that difference not make a difference
my comment is not in any way about people using ANY medication for pain relief
nor is it in any way about the unconstitutional actions about this government
it is about hose that seek to abuse drugs for their own personal selfish reason, think hunter biden, at the expense of their families and those the owe a responsivity to (you cannot have Freedom and Liberty without Responsibility)
