Supreme Court sides with a Texas man who says it’s not a crime for marijuana users to have guns

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of Ali Danial Hemani, a Texas man who argued that a 1968 law prohibiting gun ownership for individuals who use illegal drugs violates the Second Amendment. The decision limits but does not eliminate the government's ability to restrict firearms from drug users, and it marks a loss for the Trump administration, which had supported the law. The ruling also impacts a prior case involving Hunter Biden, who was convicted of buying a gun while addicted to cocaine in 2018.
