New Second Amendment decision
9th Circuit concludes that,despite Second Amendment, habitual drug users cannot traffic in firearms. Sensible decision to me. No constitutional right is absolute. "Because Defendant also had a business of dealing in firearms, a jury convicted him of, among other things, shipping and receiving firearms through interstate commerce while using a controlled substance, in violation of § 922(g)(3")
I could be wrong, but it does not appear that he was convicted of mere possession in his home. The case might be different if defendant was charged with mere possession of weapon in his home.
