    A victory for the defendant in United States v. Hemani, but little guidance for the lower courts

    The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Ali Hemani in United States v. Hemani, finding his prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3) for firearm possession as an 'unlawful user' of marijuana violated the Second Amendment. The court highlighted the statute's vagueness, as it fails to clearly define 'unlawful user,' creating ambiguity about who is prohibited from firearm possession.
