(4,775 posts)I think I saw a headline somewhere about MMJ patients not clearing background checks to own guns because of their patient status. Know anything about that?
Regarding the handgun collection you posted about, I don't know how I feel about that. If it went down the way you say, that sounds ridiculous, however I'd need to know the full circumstances. I'm not a gun supporter, I don't like them and don't like living in a country that has so many of them, but I'd rather see us make guns uncool and therefore less common, rather than taking them back in actions like you describe. I can imagine some circumstances where I could support armed raids to collect them.
This thread, however, is not a gun thread, it's a thread about unjust prohibition and its consequences. Should probably keep it that way. And that woman would have a difficult time killing anyone with those plants, so I don't see much of a parallel with the action you brought up.
