The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on March 2 over a federal law that bans drug users from buying or possessing firearms, the latest in a string of cases where the conservative-controlled court is positioned to reshape gun control laws nationwide.
The Trump administration asked the justices to overturn a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, which found that the law infringed on Second Amendment rights.
The law prohibits anyone who is “an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance” from buying or possessing a firearm.
