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.
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.
