There has been a ton of buzz in lately about the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) stand on marijuana. According to a report from the U.S. Dept. of Justice, that translates to about 5,000,000 alcohol-related violent crimes per year. So to be clear, you must be convicted 3 time with an alcohol DUI to lose your gun rights OR be caught casually consuming cannabis. Under a decades old law from 1968, ATF asserted users of marijuana remain barred from purchasing and possessing guns. Yet it faces huge hurdles including the ATF holding it to a different standard than alcohol.
