The Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that a federal law banning illegal drug users from possessing firearms violated the constitutional rights of a Texas man who regularly used marijuana. The decision, delivered Thursday (June 18), marks a significant interpretation of the Second Amendment as it applies to gun ownership and drug use.
I have always viewed the laws taking away the rights of people that have committed some 'felony' as ignoring the 2nd Amendments 'shall not be infringed' clause. What part of the 2A says they can take your rights for making a screw up? In my opinion this SC ruling is in line with what the founding fathers intended.
If you were someone that is of concern to the government because you will not conform to their tyranny it is easy for them to stick a charge on you, and take away your rights to keep and bear arms so they have the upper hand. The founding fathers understood tyranny. They did not intend the government have the upper hand over the citizens.
