Fifth Circuit Says It’s Unconstitutional To Ban Pot Users From Gun Possession
From Ammoland:
The government tried to use laws from the founding era that disarmed people who felt they were dangerous. One example that was given is the banning of British Loyalists from having firearms. The judges rejected that argument, stating that the ban on marijuana users owning firearms would be more akin to the founders banning people who drank alcohol from owning guns. The judges pointed out that the founders drank copious amounts of alcohol. The judge stated the government may be able to prevent someone who is intoxicated from carrying a firearm. Still, Ms. Connelly was not under the influence of drugs at the time of the arrest and was not a dangerous person.

Hunter Biden Verdict Splits Gun Community
From The Truth About Guns:
The case has led to an interesting split of opinions among gun rights advocates. Figures like Eric Blandford and CJ Grisham argue the law used against Biden is unconstitutional and that his prosecution sets a dangerous precedent for gun owners. They admit they face pushback from conservative circles, where supporting Biden is seen as controversial. Blandford explains, “Of course, people are going to say, ‘Why do you support Hunter Biden? He’s the enemy.’”
In contrast, the NRA supports Biden’s prosecution, stating it exemplifies the need for firearm prohibitions for drug users. John Crump over at AmmoLand notes the division within the gun community: some advocate for equal legal treatment, while others oppose prosecuting anyone under what they see as an unjust law.
