BATFE Form 4473 vs. CO Amendment 64

[ANADRILL]

My take on this is that Amendment 64 was added to bring out more leftist voters to the polls, also the gobernment now can come in with ultimatums, forcing us to give up our arms if we live in a state that has legal Marijuana. As stated before, they have no way of tracking who is or isn't using it, only a yes or no the yellow form. This in my opinion was a calculated move, and it's close to working.

Glad you enjoyed it. It was only meant to invite a smile ...

I'm interested in your opinion. Please elaborate.

4473 is a federal document. And pot is illegal still at the federal level.

Interesting perspective, but to that I just say "Molon Labe!"

Not much else to say, it legalizes pot, which conflicts with federal law, the feds have no way of tracking who uses it, thus they mandate a state wide ban on firearms or the states forfiet federal funding, which will not happen. Being this is a blue state it will be pushed through. It will be either death or the camps for those who oppose the new laws......

Now that everyone is smoking, it will be hard for the smokers to find work, thus increasing the unemployment in the state, as buisnesses will not lax drug testing. Hair sampling is the new norm, so even if you just try it when it becomes "legal", you will still test positive, and be refused to work.

Regardless of what the State law or State Constitution may say, firearms are regulated at the Federal level.
As long as the Ganj is prohibited federally then you are in violation of Federal law.

Very clear cut.


While I get the impetus of 64 it is a symbolic win only. The Fed will withhold funds and have a boot on Hicks neck.

Interesting point, on the drug testing.
Employers can pretty much make whatever entry requirements they want for their companies.
With MJ being legal or not, they can bar Amendment 64 users (or perhaps even Lance Armstrong) from employment if they fail the drug test.

Sounds like the making of a proposed Amendment 64 1/2.
On the next ballot you may see:
"Please vote YES or NO: Colorado employers should no longer be allowed to screen for MJ usage as a condition for employment."
