Yesterday a federal appeals court ruled that banning gun sales to people who hold medical marijuana cards, whether or not they actually use marijuana, does not violate their Second Amendment rights. In reaching that conclusion, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit relied on antiquated, scientifically unsupportable assumptions about the violent tendencies of cannabis consumers.....

With that kind of "logic" they could easily ban the rights of people who use alcohol. It's a well known fact that alcohol has probably caused far more violence than cannabis...so far. It is true that many violent offenders when tested (or autopsied) are found with cannabis in their systems.  But we're on that slippery slope once more.  The 9th Circus Court strikes again!!!

It's 9th Circus Court logic, I believe they are the most reversed court in the country and for good reason. I bet it's not long before this ruling is reversed also.
