Supreme Court Weighs Controversial Gun-Marijuana Law
The high court examines a law that makes it a crime for gun owners to use marijuana, uniting diverse groups in opposition. Will the court rule on this divisive issue?
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to tackle a controversial law that makes it a crime for gun owners to use marijuana, a case that has united an array of strange bedfellows, from conservative gun rights groups to liberal civil liberties groups.
The law, which has been used to prosecute President Joe Biden's son for illegal gun possession, is at the center of a heated debate over the intersection of gun rights and drug laws. Proponents argue the measure is necessary to keep firearms out of the hands of those who may be impaired, while critics contend it unfairly targets lawful gun owners and infringes on their constitutional rights.
