Biden Jr’s plea fell apart. Meaning he is facing felon gun charges once again. Charges which he said he would fight using 2A grounds.
This could possibly set precedent that benefits gun owners more broadly.
It would be interesting if there was a X v Biden case to cite in favor of gun rights.
It seems like on paper drug use is still a felony and lying on the background check form is also something people can get charged over. Should we end the war on drugs and legalized things federally? Sure, but thats not what the law is right now.
If anything it seems like the question is more of a 5th amendment issue unless they want to argue there shouldn't be background checks. Really it feels like people should be able to fill out the personal info and get the check done without answering other questions. Isn't the NICS supposed to verify all the important things anyway?
