As long as it's still illegal federally, you run into the 2A gun issue (Hunter problem of lying on a federal form). Any time you buy a gun you fill out a federal form 4473 from the ATF and if you answer "no" to the marijuana question, you can be charged. You can't own a firearm legally if you smoke pot.
He said "states rights to pass marijuana laws" - that does not work. It would still be illegal federally and you wouldn't be able to own a gun
True, but what happens if you were busted for possession before (or even later for that matter) and the feds are already looking for something to charge you with? Now they have felony perjury on an official government form.
that's a good point. but wouldn't they have to prove that you were using it at the time of filling out the form? anyone could have at one time been a user of marijuana, stop being a user at that current time of filling out the form, and then in the future become a user again. that would technically not be lying

that doesn't sound constitutional
No it doesn't, but right now it is being enforced.
its not like they drug test you when you fill out the form.

IIRC, it asks something to the effect of, have you ever used pot.
If you ever have and they find out, bam your done.
Likewise, if you ever use after that and try to buy one, same.
