I feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone. In the Medical Marijuana case the court actually decided to protect organized crime from unfair competition by an honest citizen.

Lawyers for the U.S. Justice Department argued to the Supreme Court that home grown marijuana represented interstate commerce, because the home grown weed would affect overall production of the weed, much of it imported across American borders by well financed, often violent drug gangs.

Think about it...They actually argued that home grown weed would affect the inter state commerce of "violent drug gangs"...It would reduce their commerce! So the feds are claiming purview over home grown weed because it would unfairly reduce the inter state trade of violent drug gangs!

Will the court need to prohibit guns to protect the violent drug gangs from armed citizens?

Congress has done it already, in the case of certain guns so the court doesn't have to.
