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.

    You’re going to argue against an armed citizenry with a stright face. With everything that is going on? No thanks.

        The rise of fascism. And we’re still in the early phases. They’ll go after private gun ownership when people start starving.
