Gun Rights for State/Tribal Lawful Marijuana Users.

This bill aims to protect the Second Amendment rights of adults who use marijuana in accordance with state or tribal law. It means that legal marijuana use will no longer be a basis for classifying an individual as an "unlawful user of controlled substances" under firearms regulations. In practice, these individuals will be able to legally own firearms if their marijuana use complies with local laws.
Key points
Individuals legally using marijuana under state or tribal law will not be considered "unlawful users of controlled substances" for firearms purposes.
This allows adults who legally use marijuana to retain their right to possess firearms.
The change amends a definition in the federal criminal code, directly impacting the ability to purchase and own firearms.
