ATF Clarifies Marijuana Users Barred From Gun Sales
The ATF says federal law bans selling guns or ammunition to registered medical marijuana users and anyone who shows probable drug use. The ruling, issued Sept 21, covers buyers with medical cannabis cards and expects dealers to deny sales if they have reasonable cause. Critics say it tightens rights and burdens gun dealers, while the agency cites safety and existing law.

Senator Rand Paul opposes expedited passage of a pipeline safety bill, signaling openness to a debate but blocking unanimous consent. The measure, backed by Democrats and industry, would boost inspectors and require valve considerations while funding via industry fees. Rep. Jackie Speier says it’s a good start but lacks full NTSB recommendations.

Clinton said both nations share vital interests in fighting terrorism as Islamabad faces growing threats from the Haqqanis and al Qaeda. The State Department reviews designating the Haqqani network as a foreign terrorist organization, extending sanctions beyond its leaders.
