Supreme Court Rules on Guns and Marijuana
Description
The Supreme Court just delivered a major blow to federal gun control, unanimously ruling that a 1968 law barring gun ownership for drug users violates the Second Amendment — a decision that could reshape the legal landscape for millions. The case centered on Ali Danial Hemani, a Texas man convicted only of marijuana use, and echoes the controversial Hunter Biden case. This ruling follows a wave of recent gun rights decisions since 2022, including striking down bump stock bans while upholding protections for domestic violence victims. Meanwhile, marijuana legalization is surging across half the states, with federal reclassification signaling a shift in policy. Surprisingly, even rivals like the ACLU and NRA joined forces to support Hemani, while gun safety advocates stood against him — a rare moment of unexpected unity in a deeply divided debate.
