UPDATE: Supreme Court Cases Could Redefine Who Can Exercise 2A Rights

Gun control advocates don’t just attack the Second Amendment DIRECTLY. They’re constantly working to decide who can actually exercise it, and where.

From imposing subjective criteria for CCW permit applicants, to invalidating CCWs in so-called “sensitive places,” to excluding non-violent members of disfavored communities, to banning hardware like magazines and many handguns and long guns, the elitist anti-gun-owner effort financed by billionaires (and until recently, hidden government grants) continues to carve away at the very foundation of this fundamental right.

In the latest episode of CRPA TV, I join host Kevin Small to discuss two critical cases pending before the U.S. Supreme Court that could determine whether federal bans on firearm ownership by marijuana users can withstand constitutional scrutiny.

  • U.S. v. Hemanicert granted
  • Harris v. U.S.cert petition pending

Both cases challenge 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3), which prohibits firearm ownership by anyone who “is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance” including cannabis.

Defining entire groups of people whose rights can be stripped away is a dangerous slippery slope and it has been misused against religious groups and disfavored races before. Under the Bruen standard, sweeping government restrictions like these must face meaningful historical scrutiny—not blind acceptance.
