Supreme Court Limits Gun Bans for Marijuana Users
Description
The Supreme Court just struck down a federal law that automatically disarmed occasional marijuana users, ruling that blanket gun bans based solely on past drug use violate the Second Amendment. Justice Gorsuch emphasized that the government can’t assume millions of Americans are dangerous without evidence—especially as marijuana laws evolve across states. The decision doesn’t protect habitual users or intoxicated individuals, nor does it undo other gun restrictions. With about 300 annual prosecutions under this law, the ruling narrows—but doesn’t eliminate—potential future restrictions, setting the stage for more legal battles in this fast-changing area.
