a license for medical marijuana ( MMJ card ) because you can ’ t say no , you don ’ t use cannabis on a gun permit , and have a license for legal marijuana at the same time . Legal marijuana is not 100 % legal because it is not allowed federally , but it is for sale at a store near my house . Up is down , and down is up . People say that potheads get too high . It seems like the lawmakers are getting way higher than I am . I would like to know what strain they have .

The woman who inspired this story , according to the article , “ pleaded guilty in federal court to two charges : using marijuana while owning a gun and lying about her drug use on a federal form .” Forget the fact that she lives in Virginia , where marijuana is legal . Are you getting confused yet ?
Let ’ s also not forget the fact that she left an unsecured firearm where a child could have access to it . Instead of locking her up for that — let ’ s lock her up for smoking pot . If we have “ Federal ” laws that forbid you to own firearms and use marijuana , why not also forbid you to use alcohol and prescription opioids ?* That might make a lot more sense , but that isn ’ t the point I ’ m trying to make . We need our federal and state 2 legislators to set uniform laws that make sense , regardless of what the law covers . It can ’ t make sense to anyone to have things continue on this path . I ’ m not talking about guns and not talking about drugs ; I ’ m talking about common sense . It ’ s worth noting that in Missouri , it is legal for marijuana users to own and carry a firearm .
By the way , any progress we were making in removing the stigma from marijuana may have just taken two steps backward .

2 . You Do Not Have to Register Your Guns in Missouri . The state of Missouri does not require you to register your guns . Even if you plan to carry your guns around with you , local ordinances may have differing regulations , but no Missouri law requires a license for people 19 and over . As long as you avoid purchasing from a federally licensed gun dealer , nobody will even know whether or not you own a gun . However , it ’ s best to be a law-abiding citizen !
