The Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive (ATF) announced a proposed rule change on Jan. 22 that has offered a significant change in opinion from the agency. According to the filing that was published in the Federal Register, marjiuna consumption would no longer be grounds to deny an individual from buying or possessing a firearm. The announcement comes amidst the flurry of an impending case involving the constitutionality of gun bans relating to marijuana use that is slated to be heard in early March. ATF will allow for public comments on the rule change until late June. The agency said it may also reassess definitions of “unlawful users” following the ruling from the Supreme Court.
