United States v. Hemani

146 S. Ct. 1677 (2026)

The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment in Hemani’s favor. Justice Gorsuch concluded that the government’s prosecution of Hemani under § 922(g)(3)’s unlawful-user provision was inconsistent with the Second Amendment as applied to him. Importantly, however, the Court did not find § 922(g)(3) unconstitutional in every possible application. The distinction between declaring a law unconstitutional and declaring its application to a particular person unconstitutional is important to understanding Hemani.
