The Supreme Court ruled Thursday against a broad federal ban on gun ownership by marijuana users, the latest in a line of firearm cases from a court that has expanded gun rights.
The justices decided unanimously in favor of Ali Danial Hemani, a Texas man who argued that a law barring guns from anyone who uses illegal drugs violates the Second Amendment.
If, not saying we should, but if we were going to restrict gun rights for substance use it should be for alcohol. A drunk person with a gun is orders of magnitude more dangerous then a high person.
Personally I’d probably be safer with a gun if I were stoned because I’d just stay the fuck away from it because it would make me anxious.
It’s already illegal pretty much anywhere in the US to carry/use a firearm while drunk.
Sure, but that’s irrelevant to the discussion here. The question isn’t whether it’s legal to use a gun while under the influence of either substance. The question is whether being a user of either substance should disqualify you from owning a firearm.
Not in my state 🤣
