In a landmark challenge to federal gun-control law, the US Supreme Court has agreed to review whether the ban on firearm possession by illegal-drug users—under Section 922(g)(3) of the Gun Control Act—violates the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
The case, which stems from a Texas prosecution, pits traditional firearms rights against modern drug policy and could redefine gun ownership for millions of Americans in states where recreational cannabis is legal.
