Biden: No Guns for Weed Smokers

On Thursday, the federal court struck down a California law barring people with domestic violence restraining orders from possessing guns. The ruling, written by Wilson, made Newsom hopping mad.

“Wake up, America — this assault on our safety will only accelerate,” Newsom spouted in a statement.

“This is serious — and it’s coming to California. We are probably only weeks away from another activist judge, Judge Roger Benitez, striking down California’s bans on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines. California will continue to fight against these extremist judges to protect our residents’ right to be free from gun violence.”

The California law targeted people the state believed to be domestic violence threats. You don’t need much evidence to get a restraining order in California, according to attorney George Gedulin. Anybody with a bone to pick could abuse the California gun law in question.

Concentrate Where The Murders Are Concentrated | ZeroHedge

ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero
www.zerohedge.com www.zerohedge.com

Increases in homicide rates tend to be treated by state and federal politicians as if they are broadly distributed national problems to scare Americans into supporting overly broad-brush “solutions.”

But Lott’s research shows instead that “homicide rates have spiked, but most of America has remained untouched.”

Or as David Strom summarized the results, “There are vast swathes of the country where violent crime is very, very rare, and small areas of the country where it is common.” If that is true, we should focus our attention on those small areas, not on national policies poorly focused on where the actual problems are most severe.

First, he focused on county-level data rather than national data. Some of the dramatic results he found:

  • The worst five counties (Cook, Los Angeles, Harris, Philadelphia, and New York) accounted for about 15 percent of homicides.
  • The worst 1 percent of counties (31), with 21 percent of the US population, accounted for 42 percent of the homicides.
  • The worst 2 percent of counties (62), with 31 percent of the population, accounted for 56 percent of the homicides.
  • The worst 5 percent of counties (155), with 47 percent of the population, accounted for 73 percent of the homicides.
  • In contrast, over half of US counties (52 percent) had zero homicides in 2020, and roughly one-sixth of the counties (16 percent) had only one.

Ban on marijuana users owning guns is unconstitutional, U.S. judge rules

A federal judge in Oklahoma said that the government could not argue that the "mere status as a user of marijuana" justified stripping a person of their "fundamental right to possess a firearm".
www.reuters.com www.reuters.com

A federal law prohibiting marijuana users from possessing firearms is unconstitutional, a federal judge in Oklahoma has concluded, citing last year's U.S. Supreme Court ruling that significantly expanded gun rights.

U.S. District Judge Patrick Wyrick, an appointee of former Republican President Donald Trump in Oklahoma City, on Friday dismissed an indictment against a man charged in August with violating that ban, saying it infringed his right to bear arms under the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment.


Wyrick said that while the government can protect the public from dangerous people possessing guns, it could not argue Jared Harrison's "mere status as a user of marijuana justifies stripping him of his fundamental right to possess a firearm."

Misleading headline. The DoJ started the gun ban on cannabis growers during the Obama admin. Trump admin upheld the ban. Biden's left it in place. Biden's overall policy has been a little better then Obama, and quite a bit better then Trump who did nothing good for cannabis users.

Biden keeps talking about outlawing semi-auto rifles.

Though when he talks about outlawing "assault weapons" he could also be talking about some 9 mm handguns.

If we had a Public Gathering with people holding firearms over their heads - and smoking pot -
OH BOY that would be interesting.

Maybe Smoking Pot should be recognized as a form of Free Speech ?

every single D POTUS says shit like that (flexing for their far left fans), but they don't have the votes. too many D pols represent areas where they would be out on their ass tomorrow if that ever came to a vote. Democrats are NOT some solid bloc of gun haters. nor are GOPers all the sort that sit up at night whispering sweet nothings to their AR-15s...

how do you figure? many legal eagles say the indictment is just a waste of time now that a unanimous panel of the 5th circuit court of appeals (and a few other judges) has held that prohibiting a drug user from owning firearms is on its face unconstitutional. did he lie on the form ? absolutely. will they find him guilty after wasting their time on a trial ? not likely. it is very rare for cases like this to even be considered, much less charged. keeping guns from "dangerous individuals" does not extend to anyone that breaks any laws, just those that are actually dangerous, which the vast majority of drug users are not. they should concentrate on his tax charges, he's already said "guilty as charged" to those. nothing has changed except the plea bargain fell apart because the GOP wants the death penalty (or as close as they can get in trying to hurt his father politically) over lying on a federal form that most of us DO lie on. oops, almost forgot -:confused: LOL!
