The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the government cannot prosecute a man for firearm possession solely due to his regular marijuana use, rejecting a historical comparison to habitual drunkards. Justice Neil Gorsuch stated this violates Second Amendment rights under the expanded test by conservative justices.
