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
I think the issue should be pretty cut and dry. You can drink as often as you want and own guns. You can’t go out shooting while you’re drinking. You should be able to smoke whenever you want as long as you’re not inebriated when you’re shooting.
What does this have to do with legally owning a gun. This isn’t about shooting inebriated. This is about cherry picking one group and castigating them. I have no idea where you go the idea that anyone said it was okay to get high and shoot. That’s a total straw man.
This ridiculous nonsense should and will get the NRA up in arms.
Chill dude, you’re calling out “straw man” like I’m disagreeing with you. I’m saying that the rules should work the same way. There’s no reason people that smoke should be banned from gun ownership, just like people who drink aren’t banned.
I simply replied to your post that didn’t address the topic of pigeonholing pot smokers to segue about people who smoke pot shouldn’t shoot like drinkers can’t shoot. Yes we all agree anyone fucked up shouldn’t be shooting and I really haven’t heard anyone suggesting they should? Especially here so yeah that’s a logical fallacy even if good intentioned.
Try telling that to the old farts at the trap range.
I knew one club shooting president who really, really wanted to ban drinking while using any of the ranges. The culture of having a beer while shooting was too entrenched, and the loss of membership numbers from the old guys leaving would have put the club out of business. So it was only banned on the pistol/rifle ranges. Had to leave trap and skeet as they were.

Fully agree, and have alienated myself from former friends over this.
You can drink all day and night. but don’t you dare touch a firearm while drinking. I don’t care if you’re just a little buzzed, man
As far as I’m concerned, smoke weed every day. But don’t you dare touch a firearm while high. I don’t care if you’re just a little toasty, man
Drugs and guns don’t mix. Alcohol is a drug. Don’t drink and shoot.
Well, drugs that impair you, anyway. Caffeine, for example, is fine, unless you’ve had so much that you get jittery.

Wow, you’re a little insufferable
