Denver started its assault weapons ban story.

It's been through the courts quite a few times, but this begins in 1989.

Like, earlier in March, the court heard arguments on the United States versus Hamani, which was a case about the legality of, basically, if you're using a drug that is illegal, even if it's marijuana and it's legal at the state level, if it's federally illegal, you cannot possess, own, do anything with guns, right?

And that's not really constitutional because the Second Amendment, like it or not, is like a civil right.

Yeah.

And the idea that like you lose a civil right because you're like ingested a substance at some point is like a wildly dangerous and anyway, whatever.

It's the kind of thing that just again, courts have refused to sort of take seriously, even though everyone's known there's very thin precedence.

So the fact that the Supreme Court is finally hearing arguments on this is really interesting.

This is a case.

case of a guy who had both marijuana and cocaine on him when he got busted.

And yeah, so we'll also cover that case.

But there's a lot of going to be a lot of interesting gun stuff happening this year.

Not all of it bad, because honestly, if the Supreme Court were to rule that like, no, you can't say someone can't own a gun just because they smoked pot.

I would say that's a net win.

But obviously, there's a lot of

you know, violations of states' rights and whatnot that's going to be, I'm sure, a part of this too.

It'll be a messy summer for that, but this is going to be some major stories this year.

Border wall construction crews have destroyed an intaglio sacred to the Ottom people.

There is nothing more important than our history, which is what makes us who we are as autumn.

which is a significant increase in their capacity, right?
