Does being an "unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance" make someone forfeit their 2nd amendment right?
That's not a law anywhere I've ever heard of. This is all because the ATF decided to make a "rule" (not law) that forces FFL dealers to deny the purchase of a gun to anyone who answers yes to that question. It is done by self-selection and no due process.
So if someone is a regular weed smoker and wants to buy a gun, they can either answer truthfully and be denied or lie and commit a felony?
I think jury nullification is the right answer here, and will be very interesting if that happens, especially since judges typically hate anyone talking about it and won't allow any mention of jury nullification to potential jurors.
