A federal appeals court has declared the application of a long-standing law banning firearm ownership for illegal drug users unconstitutional as it violates the Second Amendment.
This ruling, announced on Wednesday, August 9, involved the case of Patrick Daniels, a marijuana user. He had been found guilty under that law when police discovered a handgun, a semi-automatic rifle, and marijuana cigarette butts in his car during a traffic stop in Hancock County, Mississippi, in April 2022. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration didn't conduct a drug test, but Daniels admitted to using marijuana, which goes against federal law.
He was given a nearly four-year prison sentence for breaking 18 U.S. Code 922, also called "Unlawful acts," a part of U.S. law that lists prohibited firearm-related actions.
However, a trio of judges from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, Louisiana, determined that the federal law violated a Mississippi man's right to possess and carry firearms, as established by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.The court's decision stems from a U.S. Supreme Court decision last year that broadened gun rights.
In June 2022, the Supreme Court delivered its verdictin the case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen.
Through a 6-3 judgment, the Court invalidated New York's long-standing law regarding licenses for carrying firearms in public and introduced a significant novel structure for assessing legal contentions involving the Second Amendment.

The government’s case against Hunter Biden is far weaker because the Feds only have circumstantial evidence of Hunter’s drug use, mainly from a book Hunter wrote.
Hunter legally bought a Colt Cobra ( a new one, not the kind we love) from an FFL and he owned it 11 days until Hallie Biden (aka Robert L Peters) took it and gave it away afraid he’d shoot himself.
It’s a bull **** charge filed only because he’s Joe Biden’s son.
