Rapid City legislator would end federal cannabis rules on gun ownership

Still believe the Second Amendment is absolute? 

Think again. 

Even therapeutic cannabis patients are banned from buying firearms. 

Republican-glutted states are the drunkest, kill the most kids, are the most obese and most addicted to opioids. States with the most alcohol-impaired driving deaths are Montana, South Carolina, North Dakota, Alabama, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming so the idea that legal cannabis drives violence is more than laughable. But the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) will make sure you lose your Second Amendment rights if you admit to ingesting cannabis.
 
And if by some miracle non-tribal cannabis is legalized in the chemical toilet that is South Dakota State Senator Jessica Castleberry (R-35/Rapid City) wants the legislature to erase federal control over firearms. Castleberry replaced Lyndi DiSanto in the legislature, herself another hoplophile.
Many South Dakotans are concerned about overreach of the federal government and with good reason. One only has to review the examples of the past where laws were brought at the federal level and states were held hostage through funding and aid to follow suit. This week, I introduced SB 129, An Act to prohibit infringement upon the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. [Castleberry]
Recall DiSanto was forced from South Dakota's demented legislature after she spent loads of air time raising awareness of the abuses committed by the Children’s Home Society near Rapid City in the wake of the disappearance of Serenity Dennard. The Children’s Home Society has been under the regulatory microscope before for violations of trust. One former executive director is none other than Republican former South Dakota Governor Denny Daugaard. Mass incarceration fuels the white foster home industry: a pet project of Daugaard’s wife. The search for Dennard has been called off after two years of looking.

It is virtually impossible to determine who is more delusional: a Democrat who goes to Pierre believing (s)he can make a difference or a Republican who believes a zygote has civil rights.
