Our lawmakers are so eager to let us get high but  forced to allow us to protect ourselves

A Senate Judiciary committee held a public hearing on Senate Bill 669, which would legalize small amounts of marijuana for personal use in Hawaii.

Dozens of people testified in support and against the bill.

SB 669 allows for purchases to be limited to 4 ounces every 15 days. For perspective, this is equivalent to possessing approximately 224 joints every 15 days. The bill would also establish regulations for growing and selling purposes.

States that passed legalized recreational pot laws created a conundrum for legal gun owners.

Since pot is still illegal at the federal level, and the ATF rules about using pot and owning guns are also federal, doing something that's legal in the state but illegal regarding federal law, you can lose your right to own guns if ever convicted of a marijuana charge.

Well, that was the old rule anyway.

Then, this happened:  Feb 7, 2023

Gun Ban For Marijuana Users Is
Unconstitutional, U.S. Judge Rules

The ban on gun ownership for marijuana users in Oklahoma has been declared
unconstitutional by a federal judge, as it violates the Second Amendment right to
bear arms.

U.S. District Judge Patrick Wyrick, on February 3, declared that an indictment
against a man charged in August for violating a firearms ban was dismissed as
it violated the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Jared Michael Harrison was taken into custody by Lawton police, Oklahoma, in
May 2022 during a routine traffic stop. The search of his car uncovered a loaded
revolver and marijuana. Harrison informed the officers that he was heading to his
job at a medical marijuana dispensary but lacked the mandatory state-issued
medical marijuana card.

Harrison's lawyers argued that their client's Second Amendment right to bear
arms was violated by a federal law prohibiting "unlawful users or addicts of controlled
substances" from possessing firearms.

They claimed the law, focused on drug users or addicts, was inconsistent with the
historical tradition of firearms regulation, citing the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in the
New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v Bruen case, which set new standards for
interpreting the Second Amendment.

In contrast, federal prosecutors argued that the law, focused on disarming drug users,
is consistent with the longstanding tradition in America of disarming "presumptively
risky persons" such as felons, the mentally ill, and the intoxicated.
