I don’t see how the possession of a marijuana permit means that you are a possessor or consumer of marijuana. It’s probably highly correlated, but there exists too significant of a disconnect to start denying 2A rights. Should 2A rights also be denied to anyone with a monthly subscription to High Times?!? This is going to get smacked down by courts.

Simple solution: make licenses to buy pot similar to a drivers license... you have to take a written and then practical test to obtain one.

So to get your green card, you’ve got to pass a written stoner-exam and then blaze up afterward. Then when you go fill to out yor 4473 at the gun store, and you’re a pot card licensee, you can’t possibly have obtained the stoner-card without having imbibed pot... and you then can’t possible pass a 4473 questionnaire without either lying or getting denied.

Boom, perfectly constitutional method to achieve what PA is trying to do.

So what if a person gets a prescription card but never partakes of the MJ are they still prohibited?

I have never smoked marijuana nor do I care to try it. But think conflicts of laws like this are stupid.

The text of federal statute and what the various federal courts say the text actually means are not always the same thing.

Fortunately that opinion is currently binding in the 9th circuit.   Let's see if SCOTUS applies it nationwide or if other circuits apply it before they can.

Edit:  I just read that opinion.

...However, taking Wilson's allegations as true, as we must on an appeal from a motion to dismiss, Usher v. City of Los Angeles, 828 F.2d 556, 561 (9th Cir. 1987), she is not actually an unlawful drug user. Instead, she alleges that, although she obtained a registry card, she chose not to use medical marijuana for various reasons, such as the difficulties of acquiring medical marijuana in Nevada, as well as a desire to make a political statement.3 Regardless of her motivations, we agree that Wilson's claims do not fall under the direct scope of Dugan.   ...

Page 12

...The burden on Wilson's core Second Amendment right is not severe. Title 18 U.S.C.  922(d)(3), 27 C.F.R.  478.11, and the Open Letter bar only the sale of firearms to Wilsonnot her possession of firearms. Wilson could have amassed legal firearms before acquiring a registry card, and 18 U.S.C.  922(d)(3), 27 C.F.R.  478.11, and the Open Letter would not impede her right to keep her firearms or to use them to protect herself and her home. In addition, Wilson could acquire firearms and exercise her right to self-defense at any time by surrendering her registry card, thereby demonstrating to a firearms dealer that there is no reasonable cause to believe she is an unlawful drug user.  ..

Pages 14-15
The 9th Circuit court of Appeals agrees with my position that simply having a MMJ card does make a person a prohibited person.

They ruled, instead, that the existence of the card provides a reasonable basis for the FFL to believe the person COULD be a user of illegal substances and thus the FFL won't sell them a firearm.   THEY DID NOT say that Wilson was a prohibited person which is different than what is posted in the OP.

The ruling is BULLSHIT because it applies intermediate scrutiny, among other reasons, but that ruling does NOT say a person who has a MMJ card, or something similar, is automatically a prohibited person.

^ THIS.   Why gun registration should be resisted. Once they know where the guns are, they will discover new loopholes and methods of taking them away.

Of course, the easiest way to fight this Catch-22 is to insist that our politicians (you know, they guy's that represent OUR interests) mandate that the DEA re-classify pot as a minor substance ...not Class 1.

Or the “Why”. To be a card holder (is that correct?), there must be a reason, a condition. What’s the holder’s condition? What ailment? Is it a physical condition? A mental disorder? Quality of life treatment due to cancer? Abnormal anxiety? Depression?

ETA: Whatever the ailment, it was profound enough whereby the sufferer felt it necessary to seek treatment.

ETA: Looks to me like in the madness to get it, folks double-fucked themselves.

1. Rights are granted by God and described in the constitution, not the PA state police

1a. "But drivers licenses" - driving is a privilege. It is not a right. Saying MJ card holders can not own firearms is EQUAL to saying they may be forced to give testimony against themselves, or must host some government troops in their house.

2. A MJ card simply allows you to buy it. The card is not made out of marijuana. Using this cop logic, anyone who simply lives in a recreational state (where anyone could walk in and buy it) should have to turn in their firearms as well, since the condition of being able to walk in and buy it applies to everyone in those states

I think this is a case of Thin Blue Butt-hurt, where after decades of sacrifice to save us from scary plants, they are for sale in stores and people prefer it that way

until the Feral government says pot is legal the BATF will use this in every state.
