Supreme Court Rules Gun Rights Over Marijuana Use

The Supreme Court just handed down a landmark ruling siding with a Texas man who owns a gun despite using marijuana — declaring that federal law banning firearms for drug users violates the Second Amendment. Justice Gorsuch clarified that active addiction or intoxication still bars gun ownership, but the decision signals a major shift in how federal law treats marijuana users. With half the states legalizing cannabis — often for medical use — the Court highlighted the absurdity of federal claims that millions of Americans are inherently dangerous. Unlikely allies including the ACLU, NRA, and cannabis advocates united behind the plaintiff, while gun safety groups found themselves on the opposing side — underscoring the growing complexity of gun rights in a changing legal landscape.
