I don't support it, just worried about the ramifications of the shit storm that could take place...

[Zundfolge]

Honestly I think its the Colorado Pot Shop owners that have the most to worry about, all the DEA has to do one day is decide to start seizing homes, bank accounts and businesses from legal pot shop owners and there's not a damn thing that can be done to stop it.

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...

Hate to bust your bubble but nothing has changed. If you were a user of marijuana before this law went into effect it was illegal for you to own, transfer, purchase or possess firearms or ammunition. Period.

If you're using marijuana now, even in Colorado, it's still illegal for you to own, transfer, purchase or possess firearms or ammunition. Period.

Nothing has changed. And if you're not familiar with the laws regarding gun ownership or the laws (and consequences) regarding using drugs, it's nobody's fault but your own.

And I've only heard rumors of ID scanning at pot shops. From what I understand, they're not doing that. They're looking at IDs to verify age/residency. It's my understanding there's no database that gets crosschecked for buying MJ when someone buys a gun. They have to do that checking on an individual, case by case basis. Not saying it couldn't be done, but I don't think it is.

ETA: And if they are maintaining a database of MJ users/buyers? Well...at least that's one federal database my name won't be found in.

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

If you search you'd see my post , regarding the feds and viewing MMJ permits. Which are NOT HIPA protected.

I honestly don't think most concerned gun owners (like the users on this site) will be going into pot shops regularly purchasing weed. 2A>weed. Not worth breaking federal law and losing your 2A rights.

For those who think this does not matter:

The more people that the gov finds excuses to take away their constitutional 2nd Amendment rights = less gun owners. Less gun owners = the end of the 2nd Amendment.

First they came for the medical pot users. I was not a pot user so I did not speak up.
Then they came for the.... but I did not speak up because I was not one too.
Then they came for my gun rights and no one cared because next to no one had that right anymore.

Except if they came for the pot users, pretty sure my vote would have more weight as there would be less of those that vote against my interests in general...and a joint typically doesn't move at 3000 fps.

The IRS does the seizing, under Ill-gotten Gains . Same way they did in CA. i don't "think" we will see this happen as long as Hick & dems are in control. Colorado is / will be a major battleground this and next year for the elections. The D/L/ MAIG money took a beating in 13 and wants to regain the advantage / dominance in the legislature to keep the anti gun agenda moving forward.
A loss of one battle does not mean you've lost the war.

I don't think anyone has said "it doesn't matter".

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

There is no "need" for Marijuana. Bunch of hyped up bullshit that that society has created as an excuse to be a limp-docked piece of shit couch potato and smoke doobies all day for healing of your "chronic ailments". I don't feel strongly about it at all though.
