Medical Pot = Lost Gun Rights

[Rattler]

Democrats in Colorado just killed a Republican sponsored bill protecting gun rights for those who have scripts for medical pot.

given that medical pot is not psycho active (as far as I know)" what was the logic?

Please see item 11. e..  So if you cannot legally purchase a NEW firearm, what do the gun hater politicians want to do with the firearms you already own? 

The gun hater politicians can have it both ways.  Allow their mentally ill supporters legal access to marijuana and then use the Federal law to take firearms away from gun owners who use marijuana!

It is a win-win for them!

Not sure what you mean here. Are you talking about the THC levels?

I guess if it's legal in your state, you're not an "unlawful user" and you can claim you're not "addicted" as well.  But if you have a script from an MD to use it, they can take away your 2nd A rights.

Notice it was the leftist Democrats who made weed legal for med use, and they are the ones who are not looking to protect gun owners who have a script for weed use.

Maybe because it's a depressant?  But so is booze.  Probably because it's a controlled substance, but many people have scripts for controlled drugs and can still buy firearms.  

Maybe because Democrats just jump at any chance to deny gun rights.
