Supreme Court Limits Ban on Gun Ownership for Drug Users

The Supreme Court issued a decision affecting the federal ban on firearms for drug users. The case involved a Texas resident who owned a gun and faced criminal charges. The owner had admitted to using marijuana, an illegal drug under federal law. He argued that the gun prohibition violated his Second Amendment rights. The Court’s ruling narrowed the scope of the law. The decision limits how broadly the ban can be applied to drug users. Legal analysts say the ruling may impact future prosecutions. The case highlights ongoing tensions between gun rights and drug enforcement.
