"The district court concluded, however, that Wilson's Second Amendment challenge failed under our decision in United States v. Dugan, 657 F.3d 998 (9th Cir.2011)," reads the court opinion."In Dugan, we held that the Second Amendment does not protect the rights of unlawful drug users to bear arms … in the same way that it does not protect the rights of 'felons and the mentally ill.' The Government argues that if the Second Amendment does not protect the rights of unlawful drug users to bear arms, it must not protect any possible rights of unlawful drug users to purchase firearms or of firearm dealers to sell to unlawful drug users."
