Prohibition against drug users ruled unconstitutional

[brix]

Very interesting development.

Aaaand how long before they use the argument "we gotta get rid of guns because drug users can have guns"?

How convenient for Hunter...

I can understand for a pot user, but does this include cocaine, crack, heroin, and meth?

Did not watch the whole video on shaving equipment, so I don't know if there was anything about the topic in it.

Quoted for truth.

Exactly my first thought when I read the title. They'll use this to get the charges dropped, and conveniently also drop the other non-related charges as well.

idgaf about drug addicts. Wake me up when they repeal the NFA or give us nationwide carry reciprocity

You might gaf if you are at a gas station, and a meth head starts to open up on the demons he is imagining...

Should read up on how the Germans were eating meth like it was candy, when they were being chased out of russia.
They thought they were seeing the enemy coming through the snow, opened up until they exhausted all their ammo against soldiers that were not there.

But yeah, you are right on the second part of your statement.

What law would prevent a criminal addict from possessing a gun now?

This ruling simply reinforces “Shall not be Infringed” for the uncounted scores of folks that may use drugs but are not a menace to society.

Better yet is the story of a Finnish solider who OD on meth during WWII

Not one, but if they are stopped for a traffic violation, or being intoxicated in public, the police could take a firearm away from them.

They can do that to you as well for the same reason. And they will still be able to disarm an intoxicated person.

But not permanently...
Not if they are not on the list of known drug addicts.
Being a drug addict should be the same as being a felon.

So, a 18 year old who is convicted of possession of a can of Copenhagen should be banned for life from owning a gun. That is your position? Ok, cool.

Did you just get back from a liberal high school debate ?

Typical leftist straw man tactic. You are incapable of arguing the merits of your position so you resort to bullshit and obfuscation.

Tobacco is the one of the most addictive substances out there. It is illegal for those under 21 in a lot of states ( including Texas ) to possess it.

By your reasoning, an 18 year old who has a nicotine habit ( a drug, by the way) and is convicted for it should be treated as a felon and be barred from owning a firearm.

I am conflicted about this. On one hand, I am extremely pro 2A, on the other hand, I have seen what drug abuse does to people. It changes them. I have seen what would normally be a calm non-violent person become extremely violent to the point of having civil and criminal protection order issued against them because the violence induced by drug abuse.

Yeah hard drugs are a bitch of a scourge. Then again how many mass shooters were idiots on prescription psychotropic medications?

Personally I rather see a weeded with a gun then a drunkard. I have seen way to many angry drunks in my lifetime. A weeded might assail a box of lil Debbie's & a bag of chips.

So, is the wording on a 4473 going to change?

Neither should prohibit the exercise of a God given right. If it is used wrong, lock them away.

If someone is allowed to freely be in society, they should have all the rights of society.

If a felon or addict is so dangerous as to not be allowed basic tools to defend themselves, they shouldnt be in society.

I can't argue with that.
