Guns Versus Weed: How Background Checks Conflict with State Cannabis Laws
As more states pass laws allowing the use of cannabis for medical and recreational purposes, the potential for legal conflict with the federal government increases as well. Direct conflict between state laws legalizing cannabis and federal law — which puts cannabis in the same category as heroin, cocaine, and amphetamines — is obvious enough. But other possible legal conflicts have also cropped up. Let’s say you live in a state where cannabis is legal.

In "2nd Amendment Sanctuaries," officials refuse to enforce new gun laws
As gun control advocates see more of their proposed policies become law, another group with a decidedly different aim is also gaining momentum. It’s a loose network of local officials who are refusing to enforce the new laws, which include measures to require universal background checks, or ban assault weapons, or temporarily remove firearms from those deemed a danger to themselves or others.
Would Universal Background Checks Create National Gun Registry?
Universal background checks for gun purchases are one of the more popular gun control measures, with 97 percent of the public in favor of them. Acting on this popularity, the Democratic-controlled House passed a bill that would establish them nationally. That bill, HR 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, passed 240–190, with many Republicans supporting it.

Red flag laws and the consequences of good intentions
Something’s wrong with your uncle across the street. He’s always been a strange guy, but he’s been acting more strangely than usual since he lost his job last month. He’s been drinking a lot more too. He sits around all day, drinking Genny Light, and watching TV when he’s not blasting up the backyard with his .12 gauge. He’s been banned from the local bar, which is a rare distinction to achieve. Your aunt is so afraid of him that she and her kids just moved in with you.

How America Fell Out of Love With Machine Guns
Able to fire 25 rounds per second, and with a standard drum magazine of fifty .45-caliber rounds, the Thompson submachine gun, or tommy gun, was the weapon of choice for gangsters of the Prohibition era. From 1921 through 1934, it was possible in many states to walk into a well-stocked gun store, put down cash, and walk out with several of them, legally, and with no questions asked.

The Indicted and the Dead
To be law-abiding and breathing: These are, generally speaking, two commendable qualifications for a candidate to meet when seeking public office. But, as our republic occasionally reminds us, they are not requirements. For the indicted and the dead have been elected before, and likely will be again. This past election was no different, providing several notable examples of criminal defendants being elected to office, as well as a congressman who sued an elderly constituent for defamation.
Ohio Voters Face Endless Obstacles to Voting
Still raw from the electoral strife of the recent past, Ohioans may yet again face daunting hurdles to a fair, easy, and accurate vote. The obstacles range from malfunctioning touchscreen voting machines to voter roll purges and confusion over absentee ballots. The furor over hanging chads and punch-card voting in the 2000 US presidential election ushered in the age of electronic machine voting.
Wisconsin Voters Face Hurdles to Reach the Polls
Some Wisconsin voters may be in for an unpleasant surprise when they head to the polls on Tuesday — thanks to a 2016 state law requiring that voters present certain forms of photo identification in order to vote. While the law was pushed by Republican lawmakers to address the specter of voting fraud, the effect has been to place a disproportionate burden on students and on minority and lower-income voters, according to Jay Heck, director of Common Cause Wisconsin.
