Feds Can Still Ban Gun Ownership to Medical Marijuana Users

Posted Friday, September 2, 2016 by Andrew Charles Huff

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just ruled that the federal ban against selling guns to medical marijuana card holders does not violate Second Amendment rights. The court rejected the legal challenge from Nevada by finding that medical marijuana is still prohibited by federal law and may impair the judgement of gun owners. The court’s ruling will apply to all nine states in the Ninth Circuit including California and Washington.
