If drug users lose their gun rights, alcohol drinkers should too

To the editor: If the 2nd Modification acknowledged that “widespread drunkards” have been to be prohibited from having weapons, then why isn’t this regulation being utilized to the modern-day model of that (“Supreme Court will decide if ‘habitual drug users’ lose their gun rights under 2nd Amendment,” Oct. 20)?

If these “slender circumstances” calling for limiting gun rights for marijuana and drug customers are utilized as a result of these folks may “pose a grave danger of armed, hostile encounters with law enforcement officials whereas impaired,” then they have to apply it to individuals who habitually devour alcohol.

Let’s see the way it works when those that hit the bars lose their open-carry permits.
