ATF: Illegal to sell guns to med marijuana users

Rancho Cordova police said that a Sacramento County Sheriff's deputy heard gunshots ring out near Coloma Road and Ranchito Court.


While deputies searched for the source of the gunshots, they were waved down by a man with a bleeding hand.


The injured man told them he had been injured in a robbery at his home in the 2200 block of Bota Court.


He said that he had been told that someone had tried to steal his medical marijuana from his backyard while he was away.


He returned home to fix the chain-link fence that had been cut open in the attempted theft.


While making the fix, he was confronted with an armed man.


A struggle began.


Soon, two more intruders appeared, one armed with a gun and the other with a knife.


The pot grower yelled for help from others in his home. Gunshots were fired...

Hey, I'm not against pot smokers buying guns. Probably safer than alcoholics.

I doubt folks in Rancho Corbova would agree.


Sheriff's deputies, racing to a former horse property near the town of Ione, found 779 marijuana plants, bullet-riddled trailers and a dead man – covered in blood – grasping an empty shotgun.

Two days after the wild shooting that allegedly involved gang members trying to steal marijuana, authorities held five young men in custody.

They were juggling both a homicide investigation and a probe into possible illicit dealings in the name of medical marijuana.

The deadly incident illuminates the dangerous lure of marijuana gardens – medical or otherwise – during the fall harvest season. The investigation also underscores law enforcements' dilemma in determining at what scale medicinal cultivation may constitute illegal pot growing or trafficking.

Amador County Sheriff Martin Ryan said he is just glad that his officers, who arrived as two vehicles were speeding away, weren't caught in the shootout.

Legalize it, tax it, regulate it just like alcohol. I'll start a business... a smoking patio with lots of tvs and comfy chairs, a deli, and a taxi service.

Has it stopped anyone determined enough to get one? No, yet you would give the one single entity that poses the biggest threat to our freedom the power to define the conditions to exercise our right to maintain our freedom.

Maybe not stopped but definitely deterred. If someone is registered with schizophrenia or paranoia, are they still eligible to get a gun legally?

A smoking patio with microwaves and really expensive microwave Totino's pizzas and pizza pockets, lots of cartoons, and comfy chairs. Surfaces that aren't quite flat and pencils would also be available for entertainment. I might even throw in a fish tank and some perpetual motion machines...

Marijuana doesn't cause those disorders. it treats them.
