Fox News: 5th Circuit deals blow to federal gun statute used in Hunter Biden case
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit has ruled that a federal law prohibiting unlawful drug users from possessing firearms is unconstitutional. The decision, based on the Supreme Court's gun rights decision, could potentially impact the case against Hunter Biden. The 5th Circuit panel found that the statute's restriction was too broad and unsupported by historical tradition. This ruling marks the second time the 5th Circuit has declared a federal gun statute unconstitutional.
Gun rights activists praised the ruling, while one judge warned of the potential dismantling of laws that protect the country. The court emphasized that there is no historical justification for disarming a sober citizen who is not under the influence and that the statute fails constitutional muster under the Second Amendment. The decision may also have implications for Hunter Biden's case, as the Justice Department could use the ruling to reevaluate their prosecution standards for the same statute.
