WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals court has ruled that drug users shouldn’t automatically be banned from having guns, marking the latest sign of upheaval in the nation’s firearm legal landscape and raising questions about a law cited in the case against Hunter Biden.
The opinion overturns the conviction of a Mississippi man, Patrick D. Daniels of Gulfport, who had two guns found in his car during a traffic stop last year and acknowledged using marijuana regularly but wasn’t accused of driving under the influence.
The appeals court cited the 2022 U.S. Supreme Court decision known as New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which said gun laws must have strong historical roots — a finding that led to challenges of many of the nation’s gun laws...

They will argue that Hunter wouldn’t have had to lie on the form if it was ok for him to have a gun even though he’s an admitted drug user.
Isn’t that convenient

Hunter falsified application. Discarded gun and blamed illegals.
It’s a case from Mississippi so it must be the 5th Circuit, the most conservative circuit. I doubt that they did it to help Hunter Biden.
Somebody needs to put an arm brace and a bump stock in a box with Hunter’s name on it and set it outside a school.
None this would ever change the legal fact that Hunter lied on the federal form.
Maybe Hunter is good for something after all.
There are absolutely people who should be denied access to firearms.In some cases the denial should be temporary...in others it should be permanent.Use of things like coke,crack,heroin,meth call for a permanent ban.
