Supreme Court Limits Government Power to Disarm Drug Consumers
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Texas marijuana user seeking to legally possess a firearm, marking a significant expansion of gun rights. This decision is a setback for the Trump administration, which defended the 1968 law against other gun restrictions. The case involved Ali Danial Hemani, who argued that prohibiting gun ownership for illegal drug users violates the Second Amendment. The ruling comes amid changing cannabis laws across the U.S., with over half of the states legalizing it in some form. Unusual political alliances emerged, with support from both the ACLU and the NRA, alongside cannabis legalization advocates.
