The Supreme Court takes up ANOTHER gun case [View all]

[In It to Win It]

The Supreme Court takes up ANOTHER gun case, asking whether the Second Amendment allows the government to disarm a person convicted of unlawful drug abuse.

The 5th Circuit said no (of course); I think SCOTUS will say yes, disarming such a person is fine.

Honestly kind of incredible that the 5th Circuit decided THIS person has a right to bear arms ... far-right Republican judges become woke as hell when a terrorist-sympathizing, drug-dealing cocaine addict demands the right to own a Glock. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Correction: This case asks whether the government can disarm a person ACCUSED of illegally abusing drugs, not only convicted of it.

I still think SCOTUS will say yes. After all, it allowed the government to disarm people accused (but not convicted) of domestic abuse in Rahimi, 8–1.

JUST IN: SCOTUS will decide in United States v. Hemani whether the statute that bars addicts from possessing firearms violated the 2nd amendment. This is the same charge Hunter Biden faced.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court agrees to hear three new cases, including a challenge to the constitutionality of a federal law that prohibits drug addicts from possessing firearms (United States v. Hemani, No. 24-1234). #SCOTUS
