The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday limited the federal government's authority to prohibit firearm ownership by frequent drug users. According to CNN, the court ruled that prosecuting a regular marijuana user under a 1960s-era federal gun restriction violated Second Amendment protections.
The unanimous opinion, written by Neil Gorsuch, narrowed the scope of a longstanding law designed to keep firearms away from people who regularly use illegal drugs. The report said the decision strengthens constitutional protections for gun ownership in this context.
