Lee under fire for restrictive gun control policies\">owning guns<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hunter Biden may become an unlikely advocate for the Second Amendment if he&#8217;s charged with purchasing a gun while being an active crack cocaine user. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2023\/06\/01\/hunter-biden-supreme-court-second-amendment-00099544\">Politico<\/a>, lawyers for Biden have told the Justice Department they will use the Second Amendment as a defense for his purchase if he is charged, arguing that the prohibition on gun purchases for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/baltimore-state-attorney-low-level-crimes-will-no-longer-be-prosecuted\/\" title=\"Baltimore State Attorney: Low-level crimes will no longer be prosecuted\">drug users<\/a> is unconstitutional.<\/p>\n<p>But why is this significant? Second Amendment challenges to the ban on drug users owning weapons could result in an expansion of gun rights. The Gun Control Act of 1968 prohibits unlawful drug users from possessing firearms, and violators can receive up to 15 years in prison. However, this provision now faces challenges, as the Supreme Court undid decades of lower-court jurisprudence about the Second Amendment in New York State Rifle &#038; Pistol Association v. Bruen. The court\u2019s six-justice conservative majority ruled that contemporary gun restrictions must be consistent with those of the founding era. This new constitutional test presents a massive opening for people working to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-lawmakers-push-to-loosen-gun-restrictions-in-several-states\/\" title=\"GOP lawmakers push to loosen gun restrictions in several states\">loosen gun restrictions<\/a>, since firearm laws in America\u2019s founding era were, in some ways, extremely permissive.<\/p>\n<h3>The White House&#8217;s Stance on Gun Restrictions<\/h3>\n<p>Hunter Biden&#8217;s defense plan comes as the White House moves to expand gun restrictions and bans. President Joe Biden frequently calls for banning &#8220;assault weapons,&#8221; and the administration also defended a law that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-plans-to-claim-2nd-amendment-right-to-bear-arms-while-on-crack-report\/\" title=\"Report: Hunter Biden to Assert 2nd Amendment for Crack Use.\">prohibits medical marijuana users<\/a> from acquiring guns.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen how Hunter Biden&#8217;s case will play out, but it could have significant implications for gun rights in America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hunter Biden could support the right to bear arms if charged for buying a gun while using crack cocaine.
