and under Federal law, it is illegal to buy a gun if you are a user of an illegal drug. Currently under Federal law, marijuana is a illegal drug.

As for their 2nd Amendment rights being violated, I agree, however this is going to have to be resolved in the court system unless Congress suddenly legalized marijuana. No gun dealer (FFL) is going to risk his license and the chance of large fines and prison time to fight this.

And 2nd Amendment rights were routinely violated by cities such as Chicago and Washington DC and nothing was done to fix that for decades.
