Originalism strikes again!
By using the Bruen ruling, the judge can ignore that very real safety issues of drug users getting guns, and just say “Well, drug tests weren’t historically required for getting a gun. And today is the same as the era of the Thirteen Colonies, so, they should still have fun! I mean, guns!”
Originalism as a legal doctrine is incredibly stupid. It basically boils down to 'We can have everything nice they had in early American history and no more! Don’t like them apples? Probably shouldn’t have been born in…modern America, where embryos are children, which wasn’t true in early American history!"
It always amazes me how fervently conservatives want to keep guns in the hands of drug addicts and violent criminals, all while complaining about democrats being soft on crime.

Basically, you cant be forced to violate the 4th to practice your 2nd
Make it so that a drug test can stop you from getting a job but won’t stop you from getting a gun then use the increased armed robbery rate to justify more police funding to oppress the poor. And people act like these psychopaths don’t know what they’re doing.

I like the requirement to turn over your social media accounts.
That was found unconstitutional, too.
and it should be.
If they want to go find it, that’s one thing but to require it is not.
