So it becomes a rights issue when Nikki’s rights become personally affected.

Smoking pot isn't in the Bill of rights.

Lots of things aren't in the Bill of Rights. It's not an exclusive list of rights. If we're allowed only what's in those amendments, our restrictions would be crazy.

That seems to be the pattern with most Democrats.

This is political! She is running for Governor is trying to get all the pot heads in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa to vote for her. It will most likely not go anywhere, but she can say look I tried.

How can suing the ATF & Co. change the fact that pot is still illegal in the US. Fried is using taxpayer funds to sue the Feds over something that is probably a legislative issue. If cannabis is to be declassified, decriminalized, or legalized doesn't existing legislation needs to be amended to do so?

Me thinks this is nothing but political showboating on her part.

If any of us had falsely filled out the 4473, we'd be in jail yesterday. But when Democrats like Hunter Biden and Nikki Fried do it, the FBI looks the other way. I am so sick of the dual justice system going on in this country. We don't have systemic racism, we have systemic injustice.

Fried’s politics notwithstanding, this is an issue that a lot of folks are still unaware of. I’ve talked to people who I know have considered medical pot and explain if they’re applying for a concealed carry permit or planning on buying a gun that they will be potential felons. None of the serious gun owners I know are in that boat however. I dont think the gummint will change the policy any time soon so there will ultimately be a court case that involves a citizen violation, but meanwhile I am interested in seeing how Fried’s [political grandstanding?] beef with the ATF will play out

Fried, as in like an egg. She's so damned anti-gun, that this is laughable.

She obviously wants to pick and choose which laws to obey.

She probably 'feels' that one should be ignored.
