The U.S. Supreme Court rules in favor of Ali Danial Hemani, a Texas man charged with unlawful gun possession. Hemani argues that a federal law barring firearm possession by people who use drugs illegally violates the Second Amendment. According to reporting from PBS NewsHour and ABC News, the case centers on Hemani’s admission that he regularly smokes marijuana, which he said should not make gun possession a crime under the Second Amendment. The Court’s decision sides with Hemani and reverses the outcome of the lower-court proceedings, holding that the government cannot apply the federal gun ban in this way. PBS NewsHour adds that Hemani is not charged with any other crimes and is not accused of using the firearm while under the influence, focusing the dispute on the interaction between drug use and firearm eligibility rather than on actual use of a weapon. The ruling applies to Hemani’s circumstances and addresses the constitutionality of the statutory restriction as applied to a person who acknowledges marijuana use.
