I replied to a thread here a year ago making the same argument...With all the scanning of IDs at local pot shops, how long before the feds come in and start denying people the right to bear arms? To me it seems like the perfect tool for disarming unknowing people. Buya sack, its crosschecked next time you buy a gun, tada no more guns for you...

I didn't think they were scanning IDs at pot shops? :shrugs: Don't do it and you don't have to worry about this. Are the risks worth the rewards?

I am just saying my reply was laughed at a year ago as not possible, but now it could be a reality.

I'm not to concerned. Seeing as I will never step foot in a shop because I don't have a need for marijuana.

Problem solved.

Plenty of gun owners unknowingly will though, which will decrease the numbers of gun owners in the state...The problem is that its another tool of disarmament. Sure it doesnt affect us directly, but when our ranks begin to decrease, then we loose our power. Time will tell how this will all turn out,but I honestly think this was a calculated move to disarm the masses in Colorado..

I agree with that part of it. It gets more dems to move here (generally speaking), will give them a very easy way to take away people's guns, and people were excited for it. Win/win/win for politicians.

People already knowingly answer "yes" to the marijuana question on firearm applications, get denied and then act surprised when it happens. Any person with a brain would understand that going into a pot shop is probably a bad idea if you want to retain your guns. At least until it's federally approved but that's a ways off, if ever. Why make it federally legal when it *could* be the quickest way to remove guns from people? I feel that between this and obamacare, a lot of "mental health" concerns will be used for the removal of guns from people.

Tread lightly.

This is why even though I support mj legalization in principal, I voted against it for CO before a lot of other states legalized it (or better yet it started at the Federal level by removing it from Schedule I of the CSA).

More Democrats means more gun control. Period.

4473 asks, "are you an UNLAWFUL user, blah, blah, blah". Might be legal in Colorado but apparently still ILLEGAL to the Feds.

So have you asked your rep to support the bill Polis has been talking about (has he even submitted it?)
