Trump Admin Makes Weed and Guns Change; Virginia Lawmakers Reject Some Spanberger Gun Amendments
About this episode
The episode discusses the rejection of gun control amendments in Virginia and the Trump administration's reclassification of marijuana.
Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I discuss the Virginia legislature's rejection of Governor Abigail Spanberger's suggested amendments to increase the restrictiveness of passed "assault firearm" and magazine bans. We also discuss the Trump administration's official reclassification of marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act and what it could mean for legal marijuana users who wish to own guns.
