Summary: An individual is writing to express strong support for the proposed revisions to the drug disclosure section on ATF Form 4473. They argue that removing the word "medicinal" from the federal prohibition warning prevents state-licensed medical marijuana patients from being unjustly penalized or restricted in exercising their Second Amendment rights.

I am writing to express my strong support for the proposed revisions to the drug disclosure section on ATF Form 4473, specifically the removal of the word "medicinal" from the federal prohibition warning.
Restricting law-abiding citizens who rely on state-authorized medical marijuana treatments from exercising their Second Amendment rights is an unnecessary burden. The proposed language correctly reflects the federal government's shift in cannabis scheduling and ensures that state-licensed medical patients are no longer unjustly penalized or forced to choose between their healthcare and their constitutional rights.
I urge the ATF and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to finalize and implement this specific language change without delay.
