What if NORML and the SAF joined forces?

How would the culture warriors deal with this?
Not a smoker myself, but I love this quote enough to give them a couple of bucks, and send an email to SAF/

“This is an affront to our constitutional rights and hopefully other Second Amendment groups will stand with us in calling for an end to this practice, but it will likely require the rescheduling of marijuana by Congress,” Erik Altieri, executive director of NORML, said in an email.

The 2 groups you mention face the same kind of opposition: Prohibitionism. And both groups can benefit from mutual legitimacy. 2A folks can stand a broader public image than the MSM-maintained stereotypes of loud, white, RW males, and marijuana legalizers could stand the boost from 2A rank and file which knows how to pierce armor when referenda are not in the offing. The potential is there, esp. given the gross potential abuse -- renewed and itensified by the 2016 revision -- Form 4473 has always posed.

I would support such a joining.
