I have been reading a lot of posts about gun control on this forum and I thought of a funny scenario. What would you say if the “anti’s” would make a deal stop with the gun control if “we” would stop fighting the legalization of marijuana for recreational purposes? Methods of production, distribution, and sales of both would be subject to the similar regulations, taxes, and sold only through federally licensed dealers (an FML) and a background check would be required before purchasing. Maybe even a waiting period would work for people wanting to buy marijuana. For states that already have ridiculous gun control laws such as CA, NJ, HI, MA, NY etc. Perhaps a 21 day wait and a stipulation that you cannot be in possession of more than a few milligrams (or an amount proportional to a ten round magazine restriction) at one time. Also, for those states that are not “shall issue” it would seem appropriate that you must get approval of your county sheriff in order to carry the marijuana outside your house. Of course, if the marijuana was more than 50 years old and its primary value was due to its historical significance, citizens could obtain a C&R marijuana license (have to keep and bound book and agree to pre-scheduled inspections of their collection). In addition, I am sure both sides could think of several uses for the additional tax revenue.
I agree that we shouldn’t have to comprise or barter to exercise our second amendment rights but I thought this was just a funny idea and was curious what others thought. Also, I made the assumption that “anti’s” are pro marijuana and “we” are against it; this might not be 100% correct. Again, I am not saying this is a viable option; I am just interested what others would think of something like this.
