The DOJ says marijuana use, which Biden thinks should not be a crime, nullifies the Second Amendment

Even as the president bemoans the injustice of pot prohibition, his administration insists that cannabis consumers have no right to arms.

In a ruling issued on Friday, a federal judge in Oklahoma said prohibiting marijuana users from owning guns violates the Second Amendment. That restriction, U.S. District Judge Patrick Wyrick concluded in United States v. Harrison, is not "consistent with this Nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation"—the constitutional test established by the Supreme Court's 2022 decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.​

The Oklahoma case involves Jared Michael Harrison, a marijuana dispensary employee who was pulled over last May on his way to work for failing to stop at a red light.​

Deep roots in this nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation?

Possession by a marijuana user became the law in 1986.

Just how deep does this judge think the regulation must go?
