Can Marijuana Users Own Guns? SCOTUS Weighs In - The 2A Roundtable

In this episode of the 2A Roundtable, Josh, Michele, Derek, and Todd break down the Supreme Court discussion surrounding marijuana users, the Second Amendment, and the federal firearm restrictions tied to ATF Form 4473. We talk about the marijuana question on the 4473, how “unlawful user” and “addicted to” can be interpreted, the historical “habitual drunkard” argument, and what this could mean for gun owners moving forward. We also get into Connecticut gun laws, the Glock ban, NSSF’s lawsuit, Grant v. Higgins, gun manufacturers leaving Connecticut, permit fees, and why gun owners need to stay involved.
