A new piece of legislation introduced earlier this month in the U.S. House of Representatives would allow medical marijuana users to purchase and own firearms.

The bill, dubbed the “Second Amendment Protection Act,” was introduced by West Virginia Rep. Alexander Mooney and states that an individual “shall not be treated as an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance based on the individual using marijuana for a medical purpose in accordance with State law.”

The Senate Tourism and Marketing Committee in a 6-5 vote opted not to advance the bill, known as Senate Bill 4, to the Senate floor for the chamber’s full consideration.

Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris told a crowd at a CNN town hall on Monday that, if elected, she plans to use executive action to implement universal background checks, revoke the licenses of firearms dealers who break the law, close the so-called “boyfriend loophole,” and prohibit people with arrest warrants from buying guns.

“What our policy seeks to do is not put restrictions on gun ownership, but really try and institute a series of best practices that have, hopefully, a chance of keeping guns out of the wrong people’s hands.

I wouldn’t. If I have a firearm in my house [...]

“This isn’t the first time we’ve had to challenge such a regulation,” Gottlieb continued. “It is simply unacceptable for citizens living in public housing to be denied their basic right to have a firearm for personal protection, and in this case, it was unconscionable.”

Colorado’s governor signed the state’s new “red flag” law last week, and anti-gun activists couldn’t be happier. Coloradans will be able to have their housemates’ firearms confiscated beginning January 1, 2020.

Two key Texas legislators have vowed to kill the state’s constitutional carry bill after a pro-gun activist appeared at lawmakers’ homes in Austin to protest their non-action on the legislation (HB 357).
