"Marijuana user or not, Paola is a member of our political community and thus has a presumptive right to bear arms," U.S. Circuit Judge Kurt Engelhardt, an appointee of Republican former President Donald Trump, wrote for a three-judge panel.
Engelhardt said that while the government may be allowed to bar someone currently under the influence of drugs from having weapons, "there is no historical justification for disarming a sober citizen not presently under an impairing influence."

Engelhardt said until the 19th Century, little regulation of drugs existed. While some laws dating to the country's founding barred carrying weapons while under the influence of alcohol, "none barred gun possession by regular drinkers," he wrote.
