The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court in support of the respondent in United States v. Hemani, a case challenging the federal lifetime ban on firearm possession for marijuana users. SAF is joined in the amicus filing by the California Rifle & Pistol Association, Second Amendment Law Center, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus. We urge the Court to affirm the Fifth Circuit and reject this unconstitutional overreach.”The ban on firearm possession by marijuana users affects millions of law-abiding Americans who face losing their Second Amendment rights simply for using a substance that is state-legal and widely accepted, often for medical reasons. “This case highlights the federal government’s unconstitutional infringement on the right to keep and bear arms for those legally using marijuana, ignoring clear historical limits,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “SAF is committed to defending these rights against outdated prohibitions, and we believe this warrants the Supreme Court’s affirmation.”For more information, you can visit SAF.org.
