#SCOTUS sides with a Texas man who says it’s not a crime for marijuana users to have #guns

The justices, in a unanimous decision, sided with Ali Danial Hemani, who argued that a law barring guns from anyone who uses drugs illegally violates the Second Amendment. Hemani wasn’t charged with any other crimes or accused of using the weapon under the influence.

@Nonilex Cocaine surely also a great idea. By no means I should have a legal problem when I carry a gun while consuming cocaine. America is so great now, it never was as great.

@dschulten the Court's decision is explicitly narrow and wouldn't address a situation like that.

In fact, that the government failed to present a case along those lines was part of why the Court ruled as it did.
