Frequently Asked Questions

Can legal marijuana users own guns federally?

Currently, no. Federally, marijuana is a Schedule 1 drug. Unlawful users of any drug are prohibited possessors, and this applies to marijuana, even if it's legal in your state. This can create a conflict with federal firearm laws.

What is HR 420 and how does it affect gun rights?

HR 420, introduced by Rep. Earl Blumenauer, aims to federally decriminalize marijuana and treat it similarly to alcohol. If passed, it could allow individuals legally using marijuana at the state level to possess firearms without violating federal law.

Is it easy to make a gun at home?

Yes, it's increasingly easy. Innovations in 3D printing and CNC machining have made home firearm manufacturing more accessible than ever. Examples like a functional AR-15 lower receiver built from Legos demonstrate this accessibility.

What is the purpose of Virginia's voluntary firearm relinquishment law?

The law is intended to allow individuals to voluntarily and temporarily make themselves a prohibited possessor to prevent self-harm. They can report themselves and be unable to pass background checks for a period after requesting the restriction be lifted.
