They also need to invalidate, with jail time for legislators and governors, all the flagrantly unconstitutional gun control laws in blue states. A constitutional right is a constitutional right.

Nice to see a unanimous decision on a (by most appearances) controversial topic like this.

Looking at the first page, the circumstances surrounding the indictment are infuriating. I thought that search warrants had to be specific to avoid just that kind of fishing expedition. The initial warrant was for terrorism related charges, it seems they found no evidence of it. How come they can then turn around and go for other charges?

someone being a user of a drug, doesnt mean they lose any right to keep and bear a firearm as soon as they start using in perpetuity since, "once a user always a user" a responsible person should realize they violate more than they vindicate by getting HAF and taking potshots at hallucination delusions and illusions. bare minimum, put the guns away, for boilerplate in a timelocked safe, until you are on level cognition again. removing someones right to effective self defense, permanently in complement to a temporary condition is disingenuous considering alcohol use is somehow not a permanently disqualifying condition vs "drug" use being ineffable impairment.
