Marijuana company buys entire California town for 'hospitality destination'
The State of California has become an undignified subculture in and of itself. It's understandable why some people in that state don't want citizen's owning firearms. They have bought into the deception that a "gun-free zone" is a safe place, and that outlawing outlaws is an effective way to keep the peace. It's not!
Now we see one of the reasons why they don't want "Joe Citizen" bearing arms. It's because they cannot bear arms themselves.
There are whole sections of society that are voluntarily giving up their right to bear arms; i.e. the moment that a citizen consumes or ingests marijuana, even the so-called "medical marijuana", they have voluntarily set themselves up to fail the mandatory NICS background check. They will no longer be able to make a legal retail purchase of a firearm.
This means that whole areas like the proposed Nipton, CA will likely become vulnerable to those to whom the law means nothing. But then, maybe the law means nothing to them either; extra-legal hedonism is an element found in anarchy.
Time to remember the old maxim "stay out of stupid places where stupid people are doing stupid things." It applies to California too!
