Great. We need to just keep stripping away these criminal laws infringing on the 2A

That first line is probably going to make some heads explode

I mean, it would be ridiculous to say "anyone who drinks any alcohol ever should not be allowed to own a firearm", right?

"The government, he wrote, "asks us to conclude that anyone who regularly uses marijuana is categorically violent and dangerous without any further showing.*

Neil Gorsuch wrote the opinion that really opened the door for so many who are deprived unconstitutionally, especially the non-violent felon. This is an outstanding decision for all who wish to own guns and are not "violent".

It is good to see these laws that infringe upon an inalienable right to protect yourself, feed yourself, and enjoy yourself are being overturned. Next, we need to see officers and judges sued for violating the civil rights of people and judgements rendered due to their immunity being removed.

Too many jurisdictions do not care about what is and is not Constitutional. That must end now!!

I think the case was about recreational drug users, not growers/manufacturers. It was a pretty easy call evident by the 9-0 decision.

How about a crack addict, because the same law the SC just overturned was used against Hunter Biden for being a crackhead while possessing a firearm.

The law needs to be adjusted to be based on the schedule of narcotics

Do you think there should be any restrictions on the 2A?

This isn't a gotcha or anything. I am working out what my take is and right now I think there shouldn't be any restrictions.

I thought that was technically because he lied on a federal background check.

In you follow the rational for this decision, he shouldn't have had to lie on a federal form but he did lie which is a big no no when it comes to purchasing a firearm. What you should do is answer correctly and then fight being denied the purchase. That wasn't what Hunter did.

Not much uniting the court these days.
Glad to see weed can bring us together.

Previous felons, depending on the severity of the felony, is the clearest and only one I think most people would agree on.

That being said, Dems and some RINOs want red flag laws to be able to stop people for something as simple as being on prescribed SSRIs

Bare arms as in shaving them, bare arms as in having guns, bear arms as in cutting them off after legally killing them. No restrictions for me for any of them.

Maybe as kneejerk reaction to the question.

Can you articulate why a (or certain) felony convictions should be a restriction on the 2A and the likely impact it would have?

It was three charges for Hunter. Lying on the federal form was one of the 3 but the law the SC struck down today was one of the laws used to charge him

The 3rd charge was lying to a federally licensed gun dealer
