The Supreme Court ruled Thursday against a broad federal ban on gun ownership by marijuana users, the latest in a line of firearm cases from a court that has expanded gun rights.
The justices decided unanimously in favor of Ali Danial Hemani, a Texas man who argued that a law barring guns from anyone who uses illegal drugs violates the Second Amendment.
FUCK your “right” to own tools of death. That infringes MY right not to have some dumb fucking redneck packing heat around me.
But because you’re a cunt now I also have to arm myself to protect myself from you, and now we’re all fucking armed to the teeth and children get massacred in school every other week.
FUCK your dumb fucking lobotomized idea of “freedom”.
I’m with you mate. I wish every single person with a gun was fucking dead. There I said it.
Dead how, though? You gonna just stab everyone one at a time? Should we line up for it? Do we have to leave our guns at home before we get in the stabbing line?
You’re exactly the type of person that shouldn’t have a gun, I trust that redneck more than your unhinged dumbass.
You need to drink less coffee.
Darlin all those drunks have their guns when they drive and get angry but they are ok?
You have no such right and you never did.
You’re going to argue against an armed citizenry with a stright face. With everything that is going on? No thanks.
what does that even mean, “with everything that is going on”?
because it doesn’t seem to be doing much good
The rise of fascism. And we’re still in the early phases. They’ll go after private gun ownership when people start starving.
A hammer can be a tool of death, really anything can be. And please point us to the law that states you have the right to not be around armed citizens.
Many towns, particularly towns in the Old West, operated like this.

Same thing with many cities in early modern Europe. In many places it’s been common upon entering a town or settlement that you have to check your weapons in at some location, like a sheriff’s office. Check your weapons in when you go into town, get them back when you leave.
The first law passed in Dodge City, Kansas was one prohibiting the carrying of guns inside city limits. So, I suppose that’s the law I would point to!
🏆You have won the idiot of the internet today. 🏆
Explain to the class how one person with a hammer is the same as one person with a gun. Can the person with hammer take down 30 people in a crowded room in seconds? I can list a dozen useful applications for a hammer, as far as I can tell tell a gun has one function.
Lol I’m not sure how you extracted that I was saying the two are the same. All I was saying that anything can be used as an instrument of death if someone is so motivated, but by all means, continue your crusade.
Technically speaking a gun is just a very overpowered nail gun.
wow this guy used his big brain power to tell us a nail gun is similar to a gun. Technically speaking of course.
Sir, last I checked no one was against using gunpowder as a tool. They are against weaponry that can elimate mass quantities of life in mere seconds.
In a world of 3D printers, drones and AI your stuck fighting a cause more lost than the Daughters of the Confederacy.
Got my popcorn ready.
So you think drones should be banned?
I love freedom, I think firing guns is fun, but I don’t own them and am blown away by the downvotes you got. Has lemmy just become gun toting libertarians like reddit?
I’m pretty sure it’s mostly his tone of voice and presumptuous attitude. But all that aside, given how many people in this country have said they want to see me and mine dead lately, I will be hanging on to my firearms, thank you very much, and if that makes me a ‘gun-toting readneck’ then so be it.
Your rights don’t extend over the bodies of others, so you don’t have the right to imagine that nobody is armed.
Except most places they’re not armed
You do realized that there are only about 20 countries worldwide that firearms are outright banned, right? The rest, unlike the US and select African/ME countries, implement and actually enforce strict ownership and carrying laws. So while you can reasonably expect that people aren’t publicly carrying in, say, Europe, they very well can have a healthily stocked safe at home.
So, in other words, in most places worldwide, random strangers aren’t like strapped. It’s almost like your comment was pointless
Depends on the country and also the region within the country. Most Schengen area countries except Switzerland don’t allow it except under very specific circumstances, but elsewhere in the world it can vary wildly.
I get what y’all are trying to get after, guns bad USA is a violent cesspool etc, but if you actually read up on the topic, the US isn’t some isolated bastion of guns. Yes we have more gun violence than many countries, but I’d argue its more endemic with our tossed society and culture than with the weapons themselves.
But they do have the right to move to another country without dumb fucking gun laws.
Do they? As far as I know that is a lot easier said than done. You’d need a passport and a visa to allow entry to the other country, and the whole residence thing is another big hurdle. Not to mention the monetary requirement that expatriating involves.
So it seems you’re just a contrarian. That’s annoying and not productive.
