United States v. Hemani

Summary

The Supreme Court held that the federal unlawful‑user provision of 18 U.S.C. §922(g)(3), as applied to Ali Hemani’s marijuana use, violates the Second Amendment. The Court applied the Bruen historical‑tradition test and found the government’s analogies to historic habitual‑drunkard laws deficient. The Fifth Circuit’s judgment dismissing the indictment was affirmed.
