⁣🚨 In a unanimous 9-0 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the federal government cannot broadly strip gun rights from people simply because they are regular marijuana users. The case involved a Texas man, Ali Hemani, who challenged the law after being prosecuted for possessing a firearm while using marijuana.
💥 Why this is getting attention:
The same federal statute was used to prosecute Hunter Biden in 2024 for possessing a firearm while using illegal drugs.
However, the Court did not completely strike down the law.
⚠ The ruling was narrow.
The justices said the government cannot automatically assume all marijuana users are dangerous and therefore prohibited from possessing firearms. But the Court left open the possibility of restrictions on:
👉 Addicts
👉 People currently intoxicated
👉 Individuals proven to be dangerous
👉 Other drug-related firearm restrictions Congress may enact.

⚖ Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote that the government failed to show that Hemani's marijuana use alone justified taking away a constitutional right.

🔥 What supporters are saying:
✅ Major Second Amendment victory
✅ Protects millions of marijuana users
✅ Stops overly broad government restrictions

🔥 What critics are saying:
❌ Could make firearm regulations harder to enforce
❌ Raises concerns about guns and drug use
❌ May complicate future prosecutions

🇺🇸 Bottom Line:
The Supreme Court did not eliminate the federal gun law.
But it significantly narrowed how it can be applied, especially against marijuana users who are not shown to be dangerous.

👉 What do YOU think?
Major win for constitutional rights...
Or a risky expansion of gun access?
