I'm gonna take a shot in the dark here and guess that they'll completely forget about the historical precedent test that they just randomly pulled out of their ass, but only when it comes to drugs, queer people, and leftists.

Just so we're all on the same page, the current status quo is that you cannot buy a firearm if you use pot. This ruling would potentially change that. No, it does not matter if your state has legalized it, or if it's strictly for medicinal use. The ATF doesn't care.

It's rarely enforced, but it's there.

They're looking to overturn the law preventing gun ownership for drug users.

This story is even stranger when you consider this:

Trump named a legal drug/pot dealing dispensary owner in Dearborn to be a special envoy to Iraq.

He has enough money to play in this grand pay to play scheme.

In 2019 I asked my doctor if I should have my vaccinations boosted because I was traveling for work. He asked if I was traveling to third world countries. I said I was. He asked which ones and I replied, "The US."

He boosted all of my vaccinations and added a couple of others.

i asked about meningicoccal , they would refuse if they dont think your in a risk population group. i was about varicella once, but i already shingles a long time ago, and that indicates a chickenpox infection, (the vaccination dint prevent or lessen the effect shingles) as i already had the viremic version of varicella.

I swear I read this exact comment about the UK after brexit...

Good call.

I had them all as a kid but with the way things were going in the US I was afraid of bringing measles home. My wife has had the MMR four times and it doesn't take. She had it as a kid then she was tested before each kid and they gave it to her again because she didn't have antibodies.

Here's a Facebook post from 2021 after getting the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine talking about getting all those vaccinations two years before, in 2019.

Fuck you.

Ah yes, another spectacular "small government" approach from those Conservatives. "Don't tread on me, unless I'm brown/queer/leftist then tread all over"

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

I'm confused here. The current law bans Marijuana usage and owning a firearm. It has done so for decades.

The Supreme Court is considering legalizing it

People who regularly smoke weed should not own guns. Neither should anyone else. Sincerely, every developed nation.
