Deja Taylor, a Virginia mother, has been sentenced to 21 months in prison for using marijuana while owning a firearm.
Her 6-year-old son took her handgun to school and shot his teacher, Abby Zwerner, seriously wounding her.

Deja Taylor, a Virginia mother, has been sentenced to 21 months in prison for using marijuana while owning a firearm, an act that is illegal under U.S. law. This sentence comes in the wake of an incident where her 6-year-old son took her handgun to school and shot his teacher, Abby Zwerner, seriously wounding her. The incident has sparked a debate on the intersection of drug use and gun ownership, particularly in states like Virginia where marijuana use is legal.
The boy had taken Taylor's handgun to school and shot his teacher, Abby Zwerner, in her first-grade classroom. Zwerner was seriously wounded in her hand and chest. Investigators found nearly an ounce of marijuana in Taylor's bedroom and evidence of frequent drug use in her text messages and paraphernalia.
Taylor was convicted of using marijuana while owning a gun and lying about her drug use on a federal form when she bought the gun. Federal prosecutors in Virginia sought a 21-month prison sentence, which was granted. This sentencing is the first measure of accountability for the shooting incident.
The case of Deja Taylor comes at a time when marijuana is legal in many states, including Virginia, while many Americans own firearms. This incident has brought to light the legal complexities and potential dangers that can arise when these two issues intersect.
