I don't often agree with the Ninth Circuit and I have reservations about
this one. I believe that continuing the long-standing prohibition
against allowing convicted felons and the mentally ill from possessing,
purchasing and whatever of firearms is prudent. I don't think it
violates my understanding of the thinking of the founders nor that it is
constitutionally prohibited. It certainly doesn't contradict /Heller./ I
wonder at the inclusion in the decision of people who smoke marijuana,
which I equate with people who drink alcohol. In moderation, where is
the problem? If someone is convicted of numerous DUIs -- which is what
it seems to take in some states before anything serious is done -- then
letting them own guns is problematic. Likewise someone with numerous
arrests for being intoxicated in public from smoking or otherwise
ingesting marijuana. It appears that this guy was growing pot, which is
a felony many places unless he possesses a permit to grow marijuana for
medical purposes. And he was also alleged to be running a firearms
business. It didn't say of he was informally selling guns as a private
party or as a licensee with an FFL and the rest.

Regular smoking of MJ puts the D in the same class as "felons and career
criminals."
