I was told today from a good source that beginning in 2017 the ATF will add another line to the questionnaire used when purchasing a firearm and this line will ask the simple question whether or not you smoke marijuana. Most know there is already a question asking if you are addicted to drugs but this is simply directed toward the use of marijuana and whether or not you use it.
While this will not affect me I can't help but wonder what the motive is behind this since the federal government seems reluctant to enforce existing drug laws regarding marijuana. Could this be a trade of one's second amendment right for the "privilege" smoking pot? Is this some legal ploy which will be used to confiscate guns from people who might get arrested for marijuana charges in the future?
Or is this just another example of how the feds are trying to keep us all safe and warm?
Thoughts?
