Court Rules Banning Marijuana Users from Owning Guns is Unconstitutional - Ammoland.com
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals dealt another blow to the gun control regime by ruling the law banning marijuana users from owning firearms is unconstitutional.
In December 2021, El Paso, Texas, police responded to a call for “shots fired.” When they arrived on the scene, police found John Connelly standing on a neighbor’s porch with a shotgun. Police promptly arrested the man before speaking to his wife. His wife, Paola, told police she used marijuana to help with sleep and anxiety. Police would search the couple’s house, where they would turn up drug paraphernalia used for smoking marijuana. Also, in the search, police would turn up firearms, one of which belonged to the woman. Paola Connelly was not under the effects of any drugs when police searched the residence.
Police would charge Paola Connelly with “possessing firearms and ammunition as an unlawful user of a controlled substance” and “providing firearms and ammunition to an unlawful user of a controlled substance.” Both charges are federal offenses because federal law says you can not use marijuana and own a firearm even if you have a prescription for the drug. Paola did not have a record of violent offenses, and her attorney argued that the charges she faced were unconstitutional.
Ms. Connelly would file a motion to dismiss in District Court with her attorney,

Ran into some money issues.
Two days ago, my A/C went out. It froze up and when the technician came, we found the coil is disintegrating. Living as close to the Gulf of Mexico as I do, the salt in the air has a deleterious effect on the coils.
Good news, the coils are still under warranty. The bad news, the labor and freon charge is not. So instead of having to pay $1,275.00 plus labor and freon of almost $600.00, I only have to pay for the labor and freon charge. Unfortunately, since I am on Social Security Disability, I only receive $1,150.00 a month.
Unfortunately again, however, the new coils will not be delivered until the 9th of September, so I am trying to deal with the heat. I am doing ok, but the animals are not doing too well. I have been using frozen water bottles so the cats and dogs could get some cooling.
So if you can spare some cash without affecting your own finances, I would appreciate any donations.

“I would personally suggest the gun control groups develop a BATNA to help induce more good-faith negotiating,” Tom H. Hastings, Director of the Peace and Nonviolence Studies, Conflict Resolution graduate program at Portland State University and Secretary for the Oregon Peace Studies Consortium writes in the Lockport Union-Sun & Journal.
“BATNA?” Hastings asks rhetorically (“Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement”). “It simply means that, if you are trying to negotiate with anyone, it’s important to not only think about ‘what if these negotiations fail,’ but to let the others know what you will be forced to do in that case.”
What does Hastings believe he’s “negotiating,” with whom, and what will he feel compelled to do if his demands aren’t met?
“My choice of BATNA would be, ‘Look gun rights people, we want to negotiate common sense regulations with you,” Hastings explains. “However, literally every time we pass such measures at the local or state level, you work to overcome the will of the people by challenging those commonsense measures in court, with your lawsuits, and it’s all based on the Second Amendment.”
“So we have a best alternative to a negotiated agreement,” Hastings imagines. “Our BATNA is that we are going to stop all other gun control work and focus all our resources on a campaign to repeal the Second Amendment.”

FBI Document Leak: Gun Owners Are Violent Extremists - Ammoland.com
Lawyer Stephan Stamboulieh on X (formerly Twitter) released more documents from the FBI’s symbol guide. This list seems to be an updated list of those previously released to the public. At the same time AmmoLand News received the same print outs.
The new terms added in this edition are “molon labe,” “prepping,” and “Second Amendment(2A).” The FBI says these terms can be signs of violent militia extremism. The document also says militia violent extremists (MVEs) might regard “red flag” laws, aka extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs,) as unconstitutional, but it isn’t just MVEs that think that. Many legal experts and civil libertarians openly oppose ERPOs for the lack of due process. Several lawsuits have been filed challenging such laws, and members of Congress have spoken out against “red flag” laws.
“What’s this,” Stamboulieh tweeted on X. “New FBI’ Symbols Guide.’ Suspicious terms include ‘Molon Labe,’ ‘prepping,’ and the scariest one, ‘Second Amendment.’”
