Revising Firearms Transaction Record

Dr. Clifton Otto, a medical cannabis certifying provider, supports the revision of the firearms transaction record to clarify the legal status of medical cannabis. He argues that the form should explicitly recognize state-licensed medical cannabis to ensure that patients who use it legally under state law are not unfairly barred from registering firearms.

The commenter supports updating the background check questionnaire to reflect the United States v. Hemani decision, arguing that law-abiding medical marijuana patients should not be dispossessed of their firearm rights. They contend that the current system unfairly penalizes honest citizens while relying on an unverifiable self-reporting system.

Sherry Castro, a medical cannabis patient, supports the revision of Form 4473 to exempt state-certified patients from the habitual user question. She argues that the current form violates Second Amendment rights and demands that the ATF issue a formal notice to FFLs regarding this exemption.

The commenter opposes the proposed revisions to the Firearms Transaction Record, arguing that the language regarding "unlawful users" of marijuana is unconstitutional following the Supreme Court's decision in *United States v. Hemani*. They request that the ATF revise the form to avoid coercing applicants into disclosing marijuana use that would lead to automatic disqualification.

An individual supports the proposed revisions to ATF Form 4473 to remove restrictions on state-authorized medical cannabis patients purchasing firearms. The commenter argues that such restrictions are unconstitutional and suggests including an explicit exemption clause for compliant medical marijuana users.

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.

The commenter argues that Question 21(f) on Form 4473 should be revised to align with the court's decision in US v. Hemani. They suggest that the current wording, which prohibits firearm ownership for any unlawful user of marijuana, is inconsistent with recent legal rulings and should be updated to reflect those specific circumstances.
