Supreme Court Limits Gun Bans for Weed Users
Description
The Supreme Court just cracked open a major legal door for marijuana users: federal gun bans can’t automatically target pot smokers. In a landmark ruling, the justices sided with a Texas man seeking to legally own a firearm, declaring that blanket gun restrictions based on cannabis use are no longer valid. The decision doesn’t let users grab guns while high or addicted — the government still has tools to keep firearms away from dangerous individuals. But with over half the states legalizing cannabis and federal policy shifting, this ruling signals a major win for personal rights and reflects changing social norms. It also reshapes a 1968 federal law, potentially setting off ripple effects as more states legalize weed.
