The US Supreme Court has agreed to review a law that prohibits illegal drug users from owning firearms. The case, known as Holloway v. Garland, originated in Pennsylvania and centers on a man who was convicted of a misdemeanor drug offense in 2005 but has since completed his sentence and sought to purchase a gun for self-defense. However, federal law prohibits individuals who have unlawfully used controlled substances from owning firearms.
Supporters of the law argue that it is necessary for public safety to prevent drug users from possessing guns, as they may pose a higher risk of violence. On the other hand, opponents, including gun rights advocates, argue that the law unfairly infringes on the Second Amendment rights of individuals who have served their sentences and have since remained law-abiding citizens.
The Supreme Court’s decision to hear this case has sparked debate among legal experts and advocates on both sides of the gun control issue. Some believe that this case could have significant implications for the intersection of Second Amendment rights and drug policy in the United States.
The Court is expected to hear arguments in the fall, with a decision likely to be issued by June 2023.
