When Marijuana Users Get the Same Rights as the Rest of Us
When Marijuana Users Get the Same Rights as the Rest of Us
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses the recent case of United States v. Connelly, in which the US District Court for the Western Dist. of Texas struck down not one, but two parts of 18 USC Sec. 922, which prohibits marijuana users from possessing or purchasing firearms. This case, however is really just the tip of the iceberg in what we anticipate will be a long series of cases challenging these very statutes in every circuit throughout the country. Learn what all of this means to you and arm yourself with education.

They don’t talk about the drunk cop that are always f..king up because of alcohol..
Weed is just bullshit.. hands down… So I call bullshit.
Who is MAN to make one of Gods plants illegal? It boils down to Big Pharma dont want you to know you can grow your antibiotics, pain medicine, weed for the head, all right next to your tomato’s plants, lettuce, onions, ect ect.
This is not an issue for me,, I wonder. Having a marijuana conviction on your record doesnt prove a person uses marijuana presently.
Does a past conviction remove rights to purchase a gun?
To hell with the dopers
Or you can just remove yourself from being a US citizen and correct your status to be a non citizen state national which is your born right. As well as remove yourself from being a federal tax payer cuz that’s also a voluntary decision Not mandatory one . This removes you from the jurisdiction of the maritime court system. Which all drugs laws, and all other victimless crime laws , and Even unconstitutional laws like mandatory insurance even child support and the atrocity of DCS rulings and most other uses laws only been wrote for the profits of the goverment at the expense of WE THE PEOPLE, for the last 80 years since FDR started the ball rolling putting our constitutional republic on hold, giving birth to the corporation known known as the United States of America .
This isn’t a matter that should be heard of any court. There’s no reason to hear your God given rights in a court.
I’m not saying this in a disrespectful way to you or nothing I get it we are only as smart as our education’s that we paid for , just like police think they’re actually doing something to serve and protect the community or doctors really think they’re prescribing medicine that’s going to help their patient’s., I too have an education , it’s in constitutional law, it’s just too bad that everyone wants to ignore the constitution these days.
Not only do they know it, but now, every American is stuck being just as good as their education, and they’ve been listening to liars for 80 years .
#americanstatenational #freeyourself #thelegalsystemisillegal #endthetyranny give up bring a US citizen and federal tax payer and regain your true freedom!
Weed is vilified.
Ya but is it another open door for what’s next maybe like psychodelic shroomies that now are ok for treatment of mental illnesses? What about the people on Rx for anxiety or depression or other issues that rewire you????
I wish they would Quit with the weed thing, its a federal bunch of bullcrap, that got in the way of the cotton business back in the day, now the feds use it as a crime!
Life is god given , rights are man given..
then people that use alcohol shouldn’t be allowed to own cars. that’s the logic. people on weed aren’t going out and playing with guns. they are just using it aa another way to disarm americans.
I hate the gov.
The irony of washington making it illegal to discriminate against cannabise use for job interviews but discriminating to own a gun. Make it make sense
they grew marijuana and hemp when the constitution was drafted with no laws against holding guns to protect yourself …pretty sure everyone was using cocaine and opium back then quite often as well
I always tell people wait till it’s legal recreationally, I know lots of people who smoke weed own & carry guns. Medical is how they can strip your 2A recreationally no way to prove it’s like buying Tobacco.
Free the weed. Free the people.
The constitution was written on hemp paper…
President George Washington grew and used Marijuana like most citizens did at that time!
A verified 18 percent of Americans consume cannabis. That is 48 million Americans. Do you still think we should worry about pistol braces?
Jesus christ weed is just fucking weed. Im not a smoker but i have friends that are and they are some of the most relaxed hard working people I know.
Are there any Federal laws preventing cannabis workers from purchasing or owning firearms if they do not use the products they work with?
the real problem in that federal government considers weed, a byproduct of hemp that’s used for many things, as a tier-1 drug like Heroin, when in reality pot isn’t even comparable to what unrelenting alcoholism looks like.
They do as long as they don’t get caught.
Pushing his moronic view just because he can, but the moron is just that, A guy that loves to lie to his self, and man of no means but sure not the king of the road.
I smoked my entire armed security career, working 12 hours a day 6 days a week is not easy putting up with people that don’t listen people that don’t respect what you do it is why I stepped away 3 years ago
Does anyone have any respect for the Federal government anymore? If so, I can’t see why.
I say no! Pick one gun or pot!
Dear Mr. Kirk,
Would you / Could you please dedicate an episode to just “Defining” “Inalienable” and then give a reasonable explanation of how a government feels they could take away for ANY reason that which was given to a people by their Creator/God?
This has vexed and perplexed myself and so many others for a very long time. If you can walk amongst society or drive then why is a firearm such a stretch?
It’s simple you can drink alcohol and you can posses a gun then having a gun and being a legal cannabis user should be the same simple as that.
im still trying to wrap my brain around WHY it has taken better part of 90 years for us 922 to be challenged on its face … or is it just that LAWYERS are that bad at their jobs?
The 2nd amendment is a right for any Citizen of the United States and I fully support it, me personally however do not believe that ANY person should handle a firearm under ANY substance, I used to use Marijuana and ironically I stopped once I purchased my very first firearm and began training, Marijuana gave me deep anxiety when handling or even cleaning my gun, plus i wanted to save money to purchase ammo and gadgets for it, I like to be 100% vigilant and ready when carrying my firearm in today’s world and substance use is something i decided to stop once I took the big responsibility of owning a firearm.
I think the government doesn’t like the fact that it would be harder to tax weed than alcohol and tobacco which is one of the government’s biggest source of revenue.
Your videos would be alot better if you would just get to the FUCKIN POINT, and drop all the BULLSHIT.
Sorry this is the one time I have to disagree with you on. Smokers are the lowest form of life and pot smokers should never be around firearms
Illegal Immigrants can own guns but law abiding citizens aren’t allowed to practice their Rights; DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE
Sadly, nobody in the government seems to give a shit. I was excited about these decisions earlier in the year, but nothing has changed. It’s not that nothing will change, it’s just that it takes time.
you cannot get addicted to marijuana
Has anyone ever died after being shot by someone just on pot?? How many people have died after being shot by a raging drunk?
A crime is a crime weather or not a gun is involved, a crime with a gun should have more punishment, but the gun shouldn’t be a crime in ,and of itself, a gun is just a tool. What it’s being used for makes the difference. Weather or not you are drunk, or stoned doesn’t matter, as long as you aren’t committing a crime.
I’m glad your on our side. Great information that you are providing.
The reasoning is dishonest or extremely ignorant. The idea that you need a medical reason to use cannabis is legal nonsense too.
I see drunk people fight all the time but I never seen a guy smoking a joint and getting mad
Our secretary of agriculture is a communist democrat. No wonder she’s going after Americans who use marijuana
Gun ownership is a god given!! That’s correct you have the god given right to have and protect yourself efficiently for your times.
Marijuana safer than a peanut free this safe med plant ASAP
They don’t talk about the drunk cop that are always f..king up because of alcohol..
Weed is just bullshit.. hands down… So I call bullshit.
Why wait? Just break their fucking pussy ass laws. I’d like to see some faggot cop try to touch me for having a gun and a plant.
Here’s the actual issue. The gentleman was not just a cannabis user and this needs to be taken into account. He clearly used other substances along with marijuana and that is the problem. As one who has been alcohol free for over 4 years and ONLY smokes cannabis, I can atest that those who ONLY utilize marijuana are far and away safer than anyone who uses the combination of substances. Alcohol consumers are the ones who should be most scrutinized. It’s irrefutable that more alcoholics commit heinous acts with a firearm, amongst other weapons like vehicles and such, before any other. It’s ridiculous some folk can’t grasp these simple truths. I don’t even consume caffeine which is another drug that is abused like refined sugar. Ugh, this land’s priorities are all jacked up…
If they wanted 2nd amendment to apply only to hunting guns they wouldn’t have used the word ARMS. The men were not stupid they choose the word ARMS so that certain gun types in current development couldn’t be limited. At the time the machine gun was being developed…. It’s a god given right.
I dint ask permission, as i dont care what laws are passed, i will stay armed and keep using my Cannabis as it is recommended by my doctor. My Rights are Unalienable…we sont ask permission, now how willing are others to come and take my Rights? There is a tree, it needs t9 be watered.
Shits unconstitutional
