Wonderful, set precedent that the 2nd amendment is totally subject to the whim of the president. Then let’s flip all of government in 2028 and work on fixing this gun problem once and for all.
i’m all for better gun laws, and I speak as someone who owns multiple and yet still does not trust the 2nd amendment anyway. I think we should be reminding folks that “amendments” don’t mean shit, and we need legit common sense laws.
and a separation of concerns when it comes to what a gov can and cannot do. eg: laws won’t stop ppl from owning guns, but mental health/healthcare WILL stop people from causing harm.
gotta be careful with the wording, because “common sense” has such a broad meaning that it can be used by fascist to distort reality.
true!! i mean logical. my bad.
The way the law works currently it’s just a mechanism to remove gun rights from people and to tack on extra bullshit charges to anyone who happens to get caught with a little weed and also owns guns. Sincerely hope they can actually change this law because it is almost entirely used for bullshit.
Notice how they don’t go after those who regularly do Ketamine or the Cokeheads sauntering the halls of the WH at any given hour.
One of the biggest potheads I know is a right wing trumpet with TONS of guns. The irony would be pretty sweet I gotta say.
I think you’re a little mixed up. It is currently illegal for a regular pot smoker to own guns. The supreme court is looking at potentially getting rid of that restriction. So if they did, I think it would actually reenforce your friend’s love of Trump.
Fuck, I clearly only read the headline and inferred that they’d be looking for an excuse to take guns seat in states where it’s legal (mostly but not all bluer states).
What if I irregularly smoke pot?
Only can own ARs then
Just so we’re all on the same page, the current status quo is that you cannot buy a firearm if you use pot. This ruling would potentially change that. No, it does not matter if your state has legalized it, or if it’s strictly for medicinal use. The ATF doesn’t care.
It’s rarely enforced, but it’s there.
This story is even stranger when you consider this:
Trump named a legal drug/pot dealing dispensary owner in Dearborn to be a special envoy to Iraq.
He has enough money to play in this grand pay to play scheme.
Ah yes, another spectacular “small government” approach from those Conservatives. “Don’t tread on me, unless I’m brown/queer/leftist then tread all over”
Watch as the GOP takes away gun rights from a sizable portion of their own pot smoking, 2A glazing base… and none will waiver their support.
Like clockwork, they get mad for all of 3 seconds, then they remember the GOP is leading the genocide against brown people and LGBTQ+ people, then they forget anything happened at all.
It’s already illegal. This is a challenge to restore those rights.
I wish people would read the articles. Weed is already Federally prohibited. The case is an attempt to overturn that.
They can have it once it’s empty.
Well said.
I hope they decide they can. That said the entire corpus of the Roberts court still needs thrown out

The case is about overturning an existing restriction, not adding new ones.
In 2019 I asked my doctor if I should have my vaccinations boosted because I was traveling for work. He asked if I was traveling to third world countries. I said I was. He asked which ones and I replied, “The US.”
He boosted all of my vaccinations and added a couple of others.
Never happened
Here’s a Facebook post from 2021 after getting the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine talking about getting all those vaccinations two years before, in 2019.
Fuck you.
