U.S. Court Of Appeals For The Ninth Circuit: Opinion In Wilson v. Lynch

This opinion was issued on August 31, 2016, by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The initial complaint was filed by a Nevada resident who was registered with the state to use medical marijuana. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) had denied the plaintiff's request for approval for a firearms purchase because the plaintiff used marijuana regularly. The plaintiff said ATF's denial interfered with the Second Amendment right to own weapons. The appeals court sided with ATF . . .
