Re: BATFE Declares No Guns for Medical Marijuana Users

The BATFE letter seems to leave out parts of the actual law. The letter refferences 18 U.S.C. § 922 : US Code - Section 922 g(3). The letter leaves out the part I highlighted:

(g) It shall be unlawful for any person -
(3) who is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled
substance (as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances
Act (21 U.S.C. 802));
to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce, or possess
in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive
any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in
interstate or foreign commerce.

So, it would seem that if an MJ user would be legal if they bought ammo and firearm that was not shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.
