A federal ban on the sale of guns to holders of medical marijuana cards doesn't violate the Second Amendment, a federal appeals court said Wednesday.
The ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco 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 having obtained a medical marijuana card. The gun store refused, citing the federal rule banning the sale of firearms to illegal drug users. |

| Given the present state of gun laws - federal, state, and perhaps local - I can't disagree ! Across most of america the acknowledged use of an "illegal" drug is "prima facie" evidence for a NICS denial ! Why should CO be any different ? And even should CO's legislature declare different, I'd advise any CO FFL holder to obtain a notarized "Hold Harmless" agreement from CO's legislature before completing any sale to a card holder ! |

TO REMEMBER |
| ...If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious. — Teddy Roosevelt - May 12, 1900 |
