BATFE Form 4473 vs. CO Amendment 64

[ANADRILL]

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......

While i am sympathetic to the Motto. I highly doubt anyone will be staying awake 24/7. Most raids do not happen while you are bright eyed & bushy tailed. They happen between 2-5am, when you're snug in bed wearing your grranimals 1pc pj's.

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.

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."

... Hair sampling is the new norm, ...

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_te...r_drug_testing

"Hair drug testing is a method that can detect drug use over a much longer period of time, and is often used for highly safety-critical positions where there is zero tolerance of illegal drug use. Standard hair follicle screen covers a period of 30 to 90 days. The growth of hair is usually at the rate of 0.5 inches per month. The hair sample is cut close to the scalp and 80 to 120 strands of hair are needed for the test. In the absence of hair on the head, body hair can be used as an acceptable substitute.Even if the person being tested has a shaved head, hair can also be taken from almost any other area of the body. This includes facial hair, the underarms, arms, and legs or even pubic hair. Because body hair grows at a different rate than head hair, the timeframe changes, with scientists estimating that drug use can be detected in body hair for up to 12 months. "

At my age, with as little hair as I have left, I don't want to part with any of of it.

Very interesting question, but let me add a different flavor to the discussion. If we can ignore federal law and create our own at the state level that trump the federal law does that mean we could start a petition to ignore the federal fire arm laws/bans and create our own at the state level? Just putting it out there and would like to see what everyone thought.

Similar has been tried by manufacturers in Tennessee and Montana. Both claimed firearms manufactured and sold/kept instate are exempt from Federal regs.
BATFE raided said manufacturers very shortly thereafter and shut down same.
