Summary
The Supreme Court just struck down a federal law that automatically bans gun ownership for anyone who uses illegal drugs, calling it unconstitutional and a violation of the Second Amendment. In a landmark ruling, the justices rejected the government’s argument that modern drug users are like historical “habitual drunkards” — pointing out that past laws targeted people who were incapacitated, while today’s law disarms anyone using even small amounts of drugs, regardless of impairment or danger. The case centered on a man who admitted to occasional marijuana use and was charged with a 15-year prison sentence and lifetime gun ban — charges he won in lower courts. The Court made clear: you can’t strip someone of their constitutional right to bear arms without a direct threat to public safety, and outdated comparisons won’t cut it.
