The court did the right thing but for the wrong reason. The court should not have even heard the case since the constitution says courts are not allowed to repeal laws anyway.

US court upholds ban on gun sales to marijuana card holders

aug 31 2016 A federal government ban on the sale of guns to medical marijuana card holders does not violate the Second Amendment, a federal appeals court said Wednesday.

The ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals applies to the nine Western states that fall under the court’s jurisdiction, including California, Washington and Oregon.

It came in a lawsuit filed by S. Rowan Wilson, a Nevada woman who said she tried to buy a firearm for self-defense in 2011 after obtaining a medical marijuana card. The gun store refused, citing the federal rule banning the sale of firearms to illegal drug users.

Marijuana remains illegal under federal law, and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has told gun sellers they can assume a person with a medical marijuana card uses the drug.

The 9th Circuit in its 3-0 decision said Congress reasonably concluded that marijuana and other drug use “raises the risk of irrational or unpredictable behavior with which gun use should not be associated
 
The government should have never banned marijuana in the first place. If they didn't act like a fascist, NONE of this would be an issue.
It grows in a fucking ditch FFS

Do they check Rx drugs most americans take when they buy guns or ammo?
Do they trace their drinking from the last year?

Regular medical use does not case impairment and most of those how use Cannabis for recreational are passive not aggressive.
Are those who have cannabis in their home less likely to be robbed or attacked? Don't they have a right to defend themselves? If they have a medical card, they are likely to have good reason for not being able to defend themselves by other means or flee from danger.

More legal madness

Where does the Constitution say courts aren't allowed to repeal laws?

Also, when has a US court repealed a law ever?

It also contains a mind altering drug.

so? We don't have legal substances that alter minds?

The key word in your sentence is LEGAL.
Yea, and my original point was, idk why it isn't. Its ridiculous.
 
They did the right thing for the right reason but if both republican and democrats agree that there should be a ban on gun sales to crazy people they absolutely need to place a ban on gun sales for PTSD pension recipients. Why in the world would we want to sanction gun sales to people who claim that they are so mentally incompetent as a result of Military service that they require a pension?
