OBAMA TURNS 300,000 MEDICAL MARIJUANA USERS INTO FELONS?

 

Link to Wyoming Firearms Freedom Act

By Larry Pratt

With the stroke of a pen, the U.S. Justice Department has just subjected hundreds of thousands of Americans to a lifetime gun ban.

In an open letter to all licensed firearms dealers, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) unilaterally decided that any person who is prescribed marijuana for medical purposes is prohibited from possessing a firearm.

If you could tap into Obama's mentality on this matter you mind find a thought like this: "No court? No trial? No problem! This stroke of a pen stuff worked fine for the USSR for decades. What shouldn’t it work for the USA? Conservatives are always clamoring for more streamlined government. I just gave it to them. Hope they appreciate it. They should be thanking me for this one!"

But speculation aside, this edict from Obama means that 300,000 people in the states that allow medical marijuana suddenly cannot buy or possess a gun. Oh yeah, and for the many who already own firearms, watch out. They are now felons and could be subject to lengthy prison terms of up to ten years!!!
