A new Department of Justice rule intended to help restore gun rights to people who have been barred from possessing firearms contains provisions that will block officials from denying applications over the use of marijuana or convictions for cannabis-related activity.The Federal Firearm Rights Restoration policy, announced on Monday, allows people who have been stripped of their Second Amendment rights to apply to have them restored.The rule says that those applications will likely be denied, however, if the person is an “unlawful user of, or addicted to, a controlled substance” or has a state or federal felony conviction within the last 10 years involving “manufacture, import, export, distribution, or dispensing of a controlled substance.”It also allows the attorney general to consider whether the applicant is “likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety,” with one factor being their “past or present use or abuse of controlled substances.”But the rule specifies that the definition of the term controlled substance “does not include marijuana” and that being an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance “excludes those whose only unlawful use of or addiction to a controlled substance consists of the use of or addiction to marijuana.”DOJ explained in a Federal Register filing that the cannabis exemption comes “in recognition of” a recent Supreme Court decision that found the government’s efforts to criminalize possession of firearms for marijuana consumers through a statute known as 922(g)(3) to be unconstitutional.The department also cited “the many comments received regarding use of marijuana” that it received during the rulemaking process, noting that they “focused almost exclusively on marijuana users and argued that regular marijuana use does not render the user dangerous to the public.”>https://www.marijuanamoment.net/new-doj-rule-makes-it-easier-for-marijuana-users-to-regain-their-gun-rights/

>>540987069Weed is for retards and niggers, but this is a good thing. It's all just about confiscating everyone's guns in the end.
DOJ to make it easier for drunk drivers to have motor vehicles.
>>540988306retard
>>540987069Based I voted for this
>>540987069Great. Should alcoholics be allowed to own guns? I would be more worried about some drunk shooting me rather than a pothead.
>>540987069Lost all my guns in boating accident decades ago
The idea of you losing your gun rights for anything other than a violent felony has always been patently stupid.
>>540988465>bigthink.jpgThat's a good point, imo. In my experience, booze is much more likely to cause intense emotions that would be more likely to cause someone to shoot another. The cannabis issue and the subsequent problems are left over from Reagan's war on drugs. Honestly, there should be no restrictions on the 2nd amendment, as it is very clear in it's text.
>>540988569Also this. 2nd amendment is very clear. Drugs, booze, or nothing, my right to own and bear firearms should not be restricted as I am a tax paying, non criminal citizen.
>>540988813>criminals break the law regardless of what the law saysWow. You should work at the DoJ. I'm not being sarcastic, either. They don't seem to understand this.
FPS Russia reboot soon
>>540987069>Get off the druggie watchlist and put on the registered gun owner watchlistAh yes, real freedom.
>>540989278Learn what a 4473 is and how they are handledIt's all designed specifically so the government never gets a list of gun owners
>>540989332That's why the government just buys that information from corpos like Palantir. Also>trusting the government's wordlol, lmao. Guns are collectable toys, try anything funny and you are a government target. The constitution has nothing to do with modern America and it hasn't for quite some time.
>>540987069BRING BACK FPS RUSSIA
>>540987069its so (White) people cant use weed to get out of military service.
>>540988465>>540988569Felons and illegal immigrants should be allowed to have guns
>>540988465This. Least the pothead would be too high to even grab the gun, where as a boozehead on the other hand will not only grab it but will use it on you for no reason at all.
>>540988306why are you assuming people are smoking/high while carrying?
Drug users shouldn't own guns, along with those with a history of alcohol abuse.
>>540992462>Felons and illegal immigrantswhy the oxymoron?
>>540992583So I guess that includes every soccer mom and middle aged man on Zoloft too right?
>>540992687How is that statement oxymoronic?
>>540992769The founding fathers drank a fuck ton, any law prohibiting anything is gay as fuck.
>>540992583All conservatives should be castrated, raped and then sealed underground with the white liberals.
>>540987069Marijuana wasn't illegal during the founding of our country and obviously had no bearing on firearm ownership.Obviously being used to disarm folks.
>>540987069I like how the 2nd Amendment says in clear, plain English, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED and yet the government and most citizens are just utterly convinced that this is somehow "open to interpretation."And then the same stupid fucking faggots who look the other way when the government infringes on our 2nd Amendment are completely flabbergasted as to how and why the same government feels quite comfortable infringing on our 1st, 4th, and other Constitutional rights at their own convenience.If you're not going to fight to defend your 2nd Amendment, that sends a VERY, VERY clear signal to the government about how hard you'll fight for the rest of them.
>>540987069America is so fake and gay it's not even funny. Muh rights, muh guns. Oh YOU can't vote or have guns actually, sorry.
>>540987069Is this a ploy to get more voters for the midterms?
>>540987069Never heard of a pothead losing their gun rights.
>>540995873>if I didn't hear about it, it didn't happen
