"Marijuana user or not, Paola is a member of our political community and thus has a presumptive right to bear arms," U.S. Circuit Judge Kurt Engelhardt, an appointee of Republican former President Donald Trump, wrote for a three-judge panel.
Engelhardt said that while the government may be allowed to bar someone currently under the influence of drugs from having weapons, "there is no historical justification for disarming a sober citizen not presently under an impairing influence."
Engelhardt said until the 19th Century, little regulation of drugs existed. While some laws dating to the country's founding barred carrying weapons while under the influence of alcohol, "none barred gun possession by regular drinkers," he wrote.
“Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.”

“Pot users having guns”. But does this affect the nasty line on the 4473 about medical marijuana patients “purchasing” guns from a FFL? GARY
