“More than fifty-two million Americans used marijuana during 2021, according to the National Survey of Drug Use and Health, and another ten million people used other illicit substances. Actual usage is higher because some people are paranoid about confessing crimes to federally funded survey takers. Roughly 40% of American households possess firearms. Thus, roughly twenty-five million gun owners were probably felons because of their possession or use of marijuana or other illicit indulgences. Though most gun owners who violate marijuana laws pose no threat, federal agencies could have potentially rounded them up as if they were hostile Indians being confined to a reservation. … Despite the victory at the Supreme Court, gun owners should remember that most of Congress, the Justice Department, and the Trump White House remain dire threats to their rights and liberties. Any politicians who brazenly seeks to destroy the Second Amendment cannot be trusted to respect any other constitutional right.” (06/19/26)
