Hunter Biden Case for Appeal: Gun Law is Unconstitutional
Washington Times ^ | 10 June 2024 | Stephen Dinan

Posted on 06/11/2024 3:58:14 PM PDT by impimp

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.

Hunter Biden’s conviction flies in the face of the second amendment of the constitution. I look forward to the day that his ridiculous and unjust prosecution for violating nonsense gun laws is overturned on appeal.

I think the fact that one must not lie about using illegal drugs on a legal document is a 5th amendment violation against self incrimination.

What right do the Feds have to even ask if you take drugs on a gun application?

Exactly, drug users should be allowed guns, as should dishonorably discharged veterans.

I actually agree with this; oh the irony if this goes to the Supreme Court and they concur that the Brady law is unconstitutional and eliminates all federal background checks.

It would be great that now the liberal ox is gored that the USSC overturns all these nonsense gun laws that the liberals wanted.

So anyone who smokes weed, or takes magic mushrooms (psilocybin) or LSD - all of which I did at least once in my youth - is a "drug addict" and should be denied their 2nd Amendment rights to bear arms? Cannabis was 100% legal until 1937 - one year after the imbecilic film "Reefer Madness" was released to mass moral panic.

I don’t know much about the ins and outs of this subject, but why do you even NEED a gun application? I recall kids in my school getting guns at something like the hardware store or similar. They just bought them and I never heard anything about an application.

Doesn’t/can’t an application result in “infringed”?

Pa Ingalls never filled out an application, I’m pretty sure. 🤔 Maybe.

At the time of purchase if you use those things daily maybe buying a gun is not such a good idea.

Of course convicted felons and crazy paranoids should be allowed to carry guns and AK47’s. It’s in the Constitution. /sarc

The Constitution is pretty clear. Shall not be entrenched.

Same with opium, laudanum, and just about all the other narcotics. Filthy union government went so far as to criminalize alcohol for years. Same phenomena at work now with tobacco. Control scum know no bounds.

The app and waiting period are only for pistols. Long arms can be taken home the same day.

.
Do you know that Selective Prosecution is called out as Unconstitutional.

That alone - and there’s about 7-8 other Constitutional Violations in just one Trial of Trump.

This Law is enforced in all 50 States hundreds of times a year.

The tax evasion case is far more interesting to me…

Didn’t pay taxes on more than a million dollars of income.
