Then imagine that admitting you were \u2014 even in a state with legalized marijuana \u2014 meant being denied the right to vote. And, if you lie about it, you could face up to 15 years in jail.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fifty-three years ago, Congress passed the Controlled Substances Act, creating a classification system for narcotics. The more fun the drug, the higher it was perched on the government\u2019s \u201cschedule.\u201d Under federal law, for instance, pot was designated a Schedule I narcotic, allegedly among the most dangerous drugs with the highest potential for abuse and no medical use. Other drugs in this category are heroin and meth, and so on. They are all illegal.<\/p>\n<h3>The Problem with Federal Law<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>States where marijuana has been legalized are technically ignoring federal law.<\/li>\n<li>There is no enumerated power that authorizes the feds to ban the sale of a plant or narcotics in states.<\/li>\n<li>The Justice Department uses Schedule I as a justification to strip Americans without any criminal record of their gun rights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The federal government only ignores the parts of the law it finds inconvenient, which is just another form of lawlessness. Last week, after Minnesota officially legalized pot, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) sent out a clarification warning that people who smoke weed or take edibles are \u201cstill federally defined as an \u2018unlawful user\u2019 of a controlled substance\u201d under the Controlled Substances Act and therefore \u201cprohibited from shipping, transporting, receiving, or possessing firearms or ammunition\u201d under the Gun Control Act of 1968.<\/p>\n<p>One of the driving purposes of the ATF, of course, is to inhibit legal gun ownership and to enact policies Democrats have been unable to pass via legislation. But the ATF knows well that several courts have already ruled that banning pot users from owning guns is unconstitutional.<\/p>\n<h3>Recent Court Cases<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>In a recent Oklahoma case, U.S. District Judge Patrick Wyrick ruled that prosecuting someone for having a gun and pot wasn\u2019t consistent with traditional firearm regulation.<\/li>\n<li>In a recent Texas case, Judge Kathleen Cardone ruled that the right to a handgun for self-defense \u201cbelongs to all Americans\u201d \u2014 \u201cthe people\u201d \u2014 not just the ones the government picks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To be completely upfront, I don\u2019t believe any non-violent drug users, especially ones who\u2019ve never been convicted of any crime, should be denied their right to own a firearm, even if drugs haven\u2019t been legalized in their state. Demanding people incriminate themselves to practice their rights \u2014 and then threatening to convict them if they fail to do so \u2014 is an attack on both the Second and Fifth Amendments.<\/p>\n<p>This is really just a long way of saying that I have my fingers crossed that Hunter Biden, the president\u2019s son, will be indicted on gun charges in Delaware. Among many other potential crimes, Hunter is now reportedly being investigated for allegedly lying on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/please-let-hunter-biden-help-overturn-our-unjust-and-unconstitutional-gun-laws\/\" title=\"Let Hunter Biden assist in overturning unfair and unconstitutional gun laws.\">4473 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-to-congress-enact-major-restrictions-on-constitutionally-protected-second-amendment-rights\/\" title=\"Biden To Congress: Enact Major Restrictions On Constitutionally Protected Second Amendment Rights\">federal background check<\/a> form dating back<\/a> to 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The New York Times reports that Hunter\u2019s lawyers are invoking a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/liquor-company-asks-consumers-not-to-buy-its-rittenhouse-rye-brand-to-celebrate-kyle-rittenhouse-verdict\/\" title=\"Liquor Company Asks Consumers Not to Buy Its \u2018Rittenhouse Rye\u2019 Brand To Celebrate Kyle Rittenhouse Verdict\">recent court case<\/a> to \u201cstave off\u201d charges. I\u2019m skeptical Hunter will be charged with a gun crime. Proving that someone knowingly misled the feds on a federal background check is difficult to prove, but the very thought of the president\u2019s shady son using this case to blow up more useless and unfair gun regulation, would be some delicious irony.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What if the government required disclosure of marijuana use before voter registration, and admitting it led to denial of voting rights?
