The Supreme Court will consider whether people who regularly smoke marijuana can legally own guns, the latest firearm case to come before the court since its 2022 decision expanding gun rights
Sort of. Remember that the supreme court often picks up a case after a back and forth, and that the previous ‘last stop’ of the case helps determine what’s going on. The previous court had voided the law, and now dump and co. are trying to revive the case. So if the supreme court was fine with ‘legalizing it’ they could have done so by dint of letting the lower court’s ruling lie.

My understanding is this court is very absolute on gun rights. I’d imagine them to uphold the previous court, but you never know these days
