    A pro-marijuana ruling in regards to those who partake, as long as you are sober.

    Changing who is a prohibited person is only limited to the 5CA:

    "Just as there was no historical justification for disarming a citizen of sound mind, there is no tradition that supports disarming a sober citizen who is not currently under an impairing influence," Smith wrote. "Indeed, it is helpful to compare the tradition surrounding the insane and the tradition surrounding the intoxicated side-by-side."

    The federal statute applied not only when a person is intoxicated but also when they are sober and in possession of a controlled substance.

    The opinion goes on to suggest that the founders "institutionalized the insane and stripped them of their guns; but they allowed alcoholics to possess firearms while sober."
