US Supreme Court

The US Supreme Court ruled unanimously Thursday that a habitual user of marijuana cannot be barred from owning a gun.

The 9-0 ruling is a victory for supporters of the Second Amendment to the US Constitution, which says Americans have the right to keep and bear arms.

The case before the court involved Ali Hemani, a Texas man who was indicted for being unlawfully in possession of a Glock pistol after admitting that he used marijuana about every other day.
