Bill overview
This bill, the Second Amendment Protection Act, aims to clarify federal law regarding firearm ownership for individuals who use medical marijuana. It amends existing federal regulations to exempt individuals who are using marijuana for a legitimate medical purpose, as defined by their state’s laws, from being considered an ‘unlawful user’ or ‘addict’ for the purposes of federal firearms restrictions. This change would allow these individuals to purchase, possess, and transport firearms without facing federal penalties. The law will take effect 90 days after it is enacted.
