It’s always something with these people (via Hot Air)
(Daily Caller) Hawaiian authorities have asked medical marijuana users to “voluntarily surrender†firearms due to their medicinal status. This may mark the first time a law enforcement entity has moved to confiscate guns from cannabis patients.
Marijuana users in Honolulu are expected to turn over all firearms and ammunition to the state within 30 days of receiving the notice, according to a letter signed by police chief Susan Ballard, reported the website Leafly.
The state’s first medical marijuana dispensary opened in August, but federal law prevents patients who ingest cannabis from owning a firearm. Marijuana is still categorized as a Schedule I drug by the government and is considered in the same league as ecstasy and heroin.
By “voluntary”, they mean mandatory.
This is an interesting case. The state has blown off federal law on the use of marijuana, which is a Schedule I drug and illegal to grow, use, buy, or possess, yet, is using another federal law they seem to like to uphold their gun-grabber ways. Imagine telling your kids that they can have a cookie before dinner, then punishing them for having that cookie by taking away their dinner.
