Hunter Biden’s conviction on federal gun charges Tuesday ignited a feverish debate, including among conservatives, over the constitutionality of the law he was found guilty of violating.
Thanks to a 2022 Supreme Court ruling, courts are taking a new look at the federal government’s main gun control law that bars felons, illegal immigrants, dishonorably discharged veterans, fugitives and unlawful drug users, among others, from possessing a firearm.

How about violating FARA? Child sex? Drugs? Tax fraud? Influence peddling? Dodging child support?
Love the sinner, hate the sin.
Yelling fire is the act to hate.
That’s not an illustration to compare to restricting the gun rights of citizens.
Shall not be infringed, and the Bruen declarations fit nicely together. A reasonable interpretation of Originalism.
” a constitutional right to buy a gun.”
The right is inalienable, not given by the Constitution.
The Constitution prohibits Government from infringing on those inalienable rights.
2nd Amendment protects you from them. It does not give anyone rights.
Lying on a federal application is a felony.
Neither druggies nor felons should lose gun rights.
The definition of a felony is “any crime for which you COULD have gotten a year or more in prison.” That’s a very low bar. Lots of felons never do any time. Should they lose a constitutional right for a crime that minor.?
The fact that the ATF and a 4473 exist at all is unconstitutional Luke od did you forget that?
Pass the popcorn
This is gonna get interesting.
“Progressives “ calling gun laws ‘unconstitutional’
Hunter Biden arguing that he shouldn’t have to ‘pay his fair share’.
This Ping List is for all news pertaining to infringes upon or victories for the 2nd Amendment.
FReepmail me if you want to be added to or deleted from this Ping List.
More 2nd Amendment related articles on FR's Bang List.
Also for gun rights conversation; Enter all the theaters, schools, hospitals, etc. that have “Gun Free Zone” or some such rule/posting/signage. This is not right either.
Government doesn't have "rights". Government, in the USA, has legitimately delegated constitutional authority (and illegitimately seized unconstitutional power). So ... what legitimately delegated constitutional authority do the Feds have to impose a "gun application" on We the People?
“Please identify the crime associated with yelling fire in a crowded theater”
Disturbing the peace at a minimum.
Only thing is, 99.9 percent of drug addicts are not thinking about buying a gun legally. They would rather have drugs. Unless they are wealthy drug users! lol
Lying on a federal application is a felony.
just like on a tax form.
Just think, if Hunter had bought that gun from his drug dealer, he might be a free man today .../S
“Lying on a federal application is a felony”
If that’s true, it’s dumb. Talk about a non-violent victimless crime!!
Do you want crazy drug addicts owning guns?................
Obviously the question on the 4473 did not prevent it.
Hunter Biden Case for Appeal: Gun Law is UnconstitutionalThen so is taking the 2nd amendment right from non violent convicted felons ...TRUMP
