On this edition of Century: Lawyers, Guns, and Marijuana. The Supreme Court is currently considering the case of US v. Hemani. Ali Danial Hemani is a Texas man who was arrested by the F-B-I in 2022 for possession of about two ounces of marijuana, about four grams of cocaine, and a handgun. Federal law prohibits people who are addicted to, or habitual users of, illegal drugs from possessing firearms.
