March for Our Lives All In on Banning Guns for Marijuana Users

While many anti-2A groups are trimming their sails and tweaking their sales pitches to convince gun owners that they too can support gun control measures, March For Our Lives is keeping it old-school. 

The group has come out in favor of the Trump administration’s position on “unlawful” drug users and gun ownership; a bold move given that cannabis use among the young adults that MFOL sees as its base of support is at an all time high (no pun intended). 

Firearms Policy Coalition’s Rob Romano flagged the fundraising email from the group over the weekend. 

You’d think the gun control group focused on Gen Z would be the one that’s okay with marijuana users owning guns, but nope! March For Our Lives sent a email today in support of the government, saying that “certain high-risk situations and behaviors shouldn’t mix with firearms.” pic.twitter.com/2ZmxrtMG6C

In U.S. v. Hemani , a man who uses drugs regularly was arrested after having a firearm – which was a violation of federal law. He is now challenging the ruling at the highest court. 

In the past, Congress passed laws that prevented gun ownership for those with criminal convictions, restraining orders, or other high-risk circumstances – because the data show those limits reduce harm and overall firearm deaths. 

The outcome of this case could prevent Congress or individual states from enforcing limits to gun ownership. Help us fight for gun safety by chipping in now. 

Now, March For Our Lives is hardly the only gun control org to back the Trump administration’s position, but most of them are trying to ignore the case as much as possible. Their base is far more likely to support legalization and decriminalization of marijuana, after all, and if they’re making a play for gun owners the last thing ant-gun adocates want to do is to let potential supporters know that they plan on keeping them from being able to legally use marijuana and own a gun. 

I guess March For Our Lives’ leadership aren’t as concerned about that. I imagine that they’re okay with every one of their supporters toking up on the regular. It’s the gun ownership that’s the problem, at least as far as they’re concerned. 

In its attempt to scare young anti-gun advocates, the group is overestimating the potential for SCOTUS to prevent Congress or individual states from enforcing limits to gun ownership. The limits will almost certainly change, but at best I think we’re looking at a pretty narrow decision restricting Congress’s power to bar marijuana users from possessing firearms, and it’s likely that not every justices who agrees on that bottom line will agree on how to get there. Justice Sotomayor seems okay with ruling the law void due to vagueness, while others seemed to have more of a problem with the government’s argument that Founding-era laws regulating “habitual drunkards” are akin to the prohibitions in Section 922(g)(3). 

I’m not sure how many would-be donors will puff, puff, pass on MFOL’s latest fundraising gambit, but then, the group doesn’t have much of a donor base anyway. It’s gone through multiple layoffs, and its far more of a paper tiger than a powerful political entity. They’re also going to be on the losing side of Hemani, I suspect. If they’re looking for a silver lining in the loss, they can take comfort in the fact it will give them more fodder for anther appeal to donors in the future.
