This video from Armed Attorneys discusses a new ATF interim final rule, effective January 22, 2026, which revises the definition of an 'unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.' The rule aims to clarify criteria for firearm prohibition, moving away from broad inferences based on past arrests or drug tests towards requiring evidence of regular and recent unlawful use. The speakers express optimism that this change will reduce wrongful firearm purchase denials, particularly for individuals with minor or past drug offenses who were not prosecuted.
