Breaking News: The Supreme Court Accepts Another Gun Case
The Supreme Court has accepted a second gun case for the term, United States v. Hammani, challenging federal law prohibiting firearm possession by unlawful controlled substance users (18 U.S. Code § 922(g)(3)). The Fifth Circuit previously found this law unconstitutional as applied to Hammani. The Department of Justice is petitioning to overturn this ruling, aiming to preserve the statute. The case's specific facts, involving allegations of terrorism ties and drug dealing, may negatively impact its broader implications for Second Amendment rights, especially concerning marijuana use in legal states.
