The Supreme Court unanimously struck down a law banning "habitual" marijuana users from owning firearms on Thursday.

The court ruled the law, which was used to prosecute Hunter Biden, was overbroad and improperly deprived individuals of their right to have a weapon in their homes.

The case involved a Texas man charged with a felony when FBI agents raiding his home found a handgun he kept for self-defense, and he also admitted to smoking marijuana every other day.
