Supreme Court Allows Pot Users Guns
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the government cannot categorically bar marijuana users from owning firearms, with Justice Neil Gorsuch writing the opinion.
The decision struck down a federal ban as a violation of the Second Amendment.
The ruling has significant implications for gun control laws and the rights of marijuana users in states where cannabis is legal.
It was hailed as a major victory for Second Amendment advocates and a blow to federal drug enforcement policy.
