“The Court pointed out that historical laws targeted those whose drinking left them “incapacitated” and unable to manage their own affairs, not anyone who simply used intoxicants.”
(Jeff Charles – Townhall) The Supreme Court on Thursday handed down a historic ruling striking down a federal law banning gun possession by those who use illegal drugs.
The lawsuit centered on a Texas man who was arrested after admitting to regularly using marijuana while being a gun owner. In a unanimous decision in United States v. Hemani the Supreme Court ruled that the law violates the Second Amendment and narrowed how the government can enforce the ban.
The case began back in 2022 when Ali Hemani, a U.S. and Pakistani citizen born in Texas, faced suspicions that he was involved in terrorism. Federal agents searched his family home but found no evidence of terrorist activity. Hemani cooperated fully during the raid and turned over a firearm he kept in the home. He pointed out some marijuana in the property and told agents he used it about every other day.
