Supreme Court Rules Marijuana Users Can Own Guns
Description
The Supreme Court just delivered a seismic blow to federal drug laws by unanimously ruling that marijuana users shouldn’t be barred from owning guns — a direct strike against a 1968 law deemed unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. The case, centered on a Texas man with no criminal record or gun-related charges, has upended longstanding policy and exposed deep fractures in gun politics. Surprisingly, both the ACLU and NRA backed him, while cannabis legalization advocates like NORML joined forces — all against gun safety groups who typically oppose such rulings. This decision, coming amid a wave of gun rights expansions since 2022, also echoes Hunter Biden’s 2018 conviction under the same law — now overturned by history. As half the states legalize cannabis and medical use surges, the federal ban grows increasingly irrelevant — even as the legal landscape continues to shift faster than ever.
