About the charges just filed by Trump-appointee David Weiss against Hunter Biden:
"This crime is nearly always charged as something tacked on to some bigger crime, like murder or robbery. It’s almost never used to prosecute someone on its own. Just imagine how many people, especially in gun-loving red state America, are unlawful users of or addicted to controlled substances while in possession of a firearm."

"One ironic fact: There’s a case out of the conservative Fifth Circuit that has held the law in question here unconstitutional under prior Supreme Court precedent. The statute, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3), bars anyone who is an 'unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance' from possessing a gun."

“'Our history and tradition may support some limits on an intoxicated person’s right to carry a weapon, but it does not justify disarming a sober citizen based exclusively on his past drug usage,' the Fifth Circuit ruled back in August."
In short, America — MAGA above all — thinks ANYONE should have a "right" to a gun, regardless of his/her history of addiction or drunkenness.
Own petard, meet hoist.
