Yes. Only devout mormons should own guns.

Seriously, do you really think the two compare? Humans have been drinking alcohol on a wide scale for thousands of years. We've adapted to deal with the effects, and are pretty much back the normal the next morning no matter how much we drink. Marijuana, not so much; THC stays in the system for about a month.

That said, nobody should be handling a firearm while under the influence of anything.

Since you don't have the slightest clue about what powers what branch has, your argument is risible at best.

ok, so shoot me, I meant to say legislative branch. Trying to do too many things at once. Brainfahrt. Sorry.

Cool, I make the same mistake as well. It wasn't fair... well maybe

Either way, you do recognize that the prohibition on sale of firearms to those who smoke marijuana has been on the 4473 since it was first printed?

The Federal Government is absolutely out of control. We should totally abolish the ATF and the DEA. This is what the idiots protesting wall street should be protesting.

Indeed ..... "Out Of Control" is putting it mildly !

It appears as if the entire political circus in the ole "Yankee City" of D.C. has truly gone stock raving mad !!!!!

What I find amusing is that medical marijuana users may not feel the need to own a gun if marijuana was legalized across the board.


Way to go, REMFs.

That you don't know why, is the reason why you should not be able to own a gun.

Which point?

People have been drinking for a LOOOONG time...

THC stays in the system for a long time and has negative side effects...

handling guns while drunk is stupid...
