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 federal law banning gun ownership for marijuana users violates the Second Amendment. The decision limits the government's ability to prohibit drug users from owning firearms unless they are deemed dangerous, impacting millions of Americans in states where marijuana is legal. The case involved political alliances between the ACLU, NRA, and cannabis groups, challenging a 1968 law also used against Hunter Biden.
