Reply to comment by [deleted] in Firearms deaths involving preschool-aged children had increased at an alarmingly high rate in the United States in the past decade, but state laws may help curb shooting deaths among young children. by Wagamaga

But not if you have your medical mj card. Totally fine if you’re an alcoholic or on opiates, but can’t have both a concealed carry & medical card.

That's a federal thing, states can't override that.

Well, marijuana is illegal at the federal level, but some states have decided that they can declare it legal...

yes, but you don't have to go through a federal background check to buy weed at a dispensary and the ATF hasn't decided to enforce the T part of their name there, but you try to go around the background check for a firearm and they'll be at your door shooting your dogs in no time.

It is possible and legal to buy a firearm without a background check in the US. Not disagreeing with the picture you painted, just sayin.

Not from a gun store. Private sale, yes. Noone in thier right mind risks an FFL and a visit from the atf to sell a gun. He'll, if I owned a gun store I wouldnt sell a personal firearm to a friend w/o check just to make sure the feds don't show up. Your point is valid that there are ways around that check but using those avenues have strict lanes to stay in and I can't see a state passing a law that any ffl dealer would lean on to get around it.
