I live in a very rural area full of rednecks. There are a LOT of pot smoking gun owners.
Still, never a single unjustified shooting in our area.
Ive seen several fist fights where BOTH pothead combatants were currently carrying handguns. Never has a gun came out of its holster. Just country boys getting rowdy over stupid shit.
Around here guns only come out if someone pulls a weapon first, or you "mess" with kids.

The fact is that ONLY the pot question on the 4473, is unconstitutional.

If you have a criminal conviction, for possession, sales, intent to distribute, etc you still cannot pass a NICS check, so nothing changes.

They ask you if you are a user of it as well. This is what this section would pertain to and not past convictions or current charges.
When was the last time someone was convicted of a felony for having or using a bit of weed? They don’t even arrest people anymore for it in most areas. Again it’s not simple possession it’s felony possession outside of question f that talks about use and addictions.

A person convicted of crimes, from misdemeanors, DV crimes, some violations and all felonies, are are listed on the na'tl crime register and State registries.

It does not matter if he smokes pot now, it is not a get out of jail free card; this SCOTUS decision does not get him off the bad boy NICS list of past convictions, even for pot possession......"do not proceed".
