The federal statute of banning firearm possession by marijuana users is likely going to be heard in the U.S. Supreme Court.
I have always felt that this law was ridiculous.
According to Townhall:
The Supreme Court will consider hearing a gun control case related to a federal ban on firearm possession by marijuana users.
The high court is reportedly expected to have a private discussion on whether it will take up the case of US v. Cooper on September 29. The law has been roundly criticized by gun rights advocates who argue that it is a violation of the Second Amendment.
The case centers on LaVance LeMarr Cooper, who was prosecuted for owning a firearm as a marijuana user, which made him a “prohibited person” under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3), a federal criminal statute that bars certain people from owning firearms or ammunition.
This subsection targets those who unlawfully use controlled substances.
