something tells me drinking bud light should get u on a list

Right? My often shit-faced neighbor who throws empty bottles against the wall and held his ex girlfriend against her will and was beating her makes me nervous as fuck about guns, but if I smelled pot smoke and never heard drunk screaming, it would NEVER cross my mind.

What list do you get put on for supporting MJ legalization?

I see, that part is def pretty shitty. I think it was Illinois who recently proposed this, if you get a medical MJ card you lose your right to own a gun.

I'm wondering how different states will treat this, mostly because Illinois is already not too fond of guns. States like Texas or Ohio.

I bet the more states you can take quietly make it easier to eventually go and take the last states that are holding out.

depends on which state..Az has medical pot and they don't give a flying fuck if you own a gun or not.

No once you get your med card in az you give up your right to own a gun. Being caught with one is a felony I believe.

Not true. The atf sent out that stupid letter but ive had my med card for quite a while and still purchased guns just fine. They were trying to scare people out of buying guns and then they stopped trying..simply because no one listened. I buy my guns from a mainstream store as well so i am background checked every time. Never a problem

Yet, being on a list makes it easy to come and take your gun later.

That's assuming the list has the right address, phone number, and information.

Yet handguns were illegal for 25 or so years here in Chicago, yet it did nothing to stop shootings.

Chicago almost needs to be a separate place from the rest of Illinois. An hour or two away from Chicago (or further) and its a whole different place.

I live an hour outside of the city of Chicago and I frequent all the areas around in, the south burbs, the west burbs, and the areas directly north of the city which is evanston/skokie/kenellworth/winetka.

They are mostly all the same, the only difference being population size and political ideology, which isn't actually one way or the other on any issue in any place, as people are far more diverse than that.

The whole city doesn't agree "guns are bad", that's just propaganda they try to push to bolster their anti-gun stance.

If they did, there would be no Mcdonald V Chicago supreme court case which lead to the striking down of the unconstitutional handgun ban.

There isn't much difference between the idiots living in or outside of the city, because they're all idiots that think the city is this wonderful place, because all they see is downtown and they completely ignore the corruption ridden poverty striken shit-hole that is the rest of the city, and even the downtown area fucking sucks because of how insanely congested it is and the problems that leads to ( especially in increasing peoples stress ).

People are brainwashed everywhere, and thinking that city people are entirely different from suburb people is wrong.

Chicago needs to be its' own county, because they are essentially robbing other areas such as Skokie and Evanston who are actually able to properly manage their money, except that part where they can't 100% because Chicago fucking steals their money to fix their problems, which are further exaccerbated by corruption and greed.

Chicago fucking blows.

I fucking hate IL legislature, it's insanely draconian and illogical.

"These drunkards who get drunk and then fight people can own guns, they're not dangerous. But those people who get high and sit on couches? Fucking animals, no guns for them, too dangerous sitting there on their couches talking to their friends and laughing."

You know, because that makes sense.

When you are buying a firearm, it asks you 'do you use any illegal drugs'? Well? Do you? No. When weeds legal in your state, or you have your medcard, you most certainly do not use illegal drugs.

Well... Federally it's still illegal. Not that I agree nor would I answer otherwise but just saying.

No. Even if they did. I can get one on the street quicker and cheaper.

Here in Colorado when you buy recreationaly you do not put your name on a list.

Pay with cash. Done.

Precisely.

Don't you still need to show your id?

Yes, but they don't even look at your name, they check your birthdate literally as if you are buying beer. Also, they only accept cash. So basically, this is nothing to worry about.

Except the security footage + facial recognition + wifi scanners and GPS tracking...

Fuck, sometimes I wonder if our smartphones are reading all the strips in the cash and sending that data too.

Just don't smoke. Let's take our country back non-violently by having guns.

I don't use any illegal drugs, prescriptions or alcohol and I feel great. I don't understand why the stuff is so popular. I'm not entirely innocent because I cycle through things like CILTEP and piracetam/choline, but those aren't really things that get you high.

Back in the day when I did drink and smoke, I had a generally depressed feeling everyday. Those things won't make you happy.

In my view I do not care what people do, but if you can give something up that is being used to oppress you, do it. Get free. And THEN smoke up.

I love drugs and I am sober. I just wish the government would stop this entirely backwards "war on drugs" which I think is the war on consciousness and free thought.

Edit: I am looking into that CILTEP thing.

There's some threads on it. Don't blame me for any side effects! lol Also, don't fall into the trap of combining 15 supplements at once either. There's a lot of crazy self experimentation going on in this area.

But that's also nigh-implossible to enforce, preventing criminals from having guns is already hard when you don't factor in pot. And pot makes you pretty laid back, I feel you wouldn't want a gun if you had enough pot.

You can get pot illicitly today, you can be a gangbanger and get a gun illicitly. Neither of that suddenly changes even if there is a list of politically-motivated and well-armed pot heads.

Preventing pot heads (or on the other hand alcoholics) from getting weaponry legally will only create a larger demand for illegal weaponry as well as make a stink by the people whom care about this thing.

Perhaps it will come true, but I do not think it will make a difference.

Get the gun first. Duh?

MJ decriminalization has nothing to do with "gun grabs" and more to do with jumping on a popular band-wagon in order to get votes. It is also another distraction and pacification tactic.

Again, nothing to do with lists or gun confiscation.

That is exactly how I feel. I smoke marijuana, I am a proponent for legalization. However, I feel that this is absolutely a distraction from the real issues. After all, the gov could drag this whole "coming out party" for marijuana for long enough to secretly pass more laws behind our backs.

Wouldn't this just go onto your medical record? That is a list.

yup

I disagree, I live in Denver and went to a dispensary just for shits and giggles. They took my drivers license and scanned it. Two weeks later I bought a brand new S&W AR-15. I know a lot of things are screwy right now but there's no need to be as worried as you seem.

Good point, but there's not much any single person can do about such things, the best each one of us can do to deter something like this is to get the word out to others. In the mean time, it doesn't help to stress too much.

Still living in their world, huh?

That's assuming the list has the right address, phone number, and information.
