Supreme Court May Allow Marijuana Users to Own Guns

What Happened During oral arguments on Monday, a majority of Supreme Court justices signaled they may overturn a federal prohibition on firearm ownership by marijuana users. The case centers on Ali Danial Hemani, a criminal defendant who uses cannabis a few times weekly and was prosecuted under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3), which makes it illegal for anyone who is an “unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance” to possess firearms.
