Would you please tell me where exactly the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States says that a user of illegal drugs can be denied gun ownership?
I mean, you’re always going on an on about how people have a right to defend themselves. Against...you know...those people. And of course the government itself! People must have the right to protect themselves against those bucket helmeted storm troopers of the Deep State!
Ed.: Given the dearth of widespread historical laws, gun prohibition for peaceable drug users shouldn't survive Bruen. We'll have to see how the cases progress through the courts. |

The U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to hear a legal challenge to New York's sweeping 2022 gun control law, which sets limits on who can get concealed carry permits.
A lawsuit filed by a New York gun owner challenges the state's new restrictions barring gun owners from carrying weapons in parks, bars and other "sensitive" locations and requiring them to demonstrate "good moral character" to get a gun permit. |

Cao has the most campaign money and past experience running for higher office in a general election among the five contenders in the primary on June 18. He also has the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, who stated that Cao would help stop inflation, secure the border and "defend our always under siege Second Amendment."
Cao's biography includes fleeing Vietnam with his family as a child in the 1970s. In a campaign video, he compares Vietnam's communist regime during the Cold War to today's Biden Administration. |

The Second Amendment Foundation told Secrets that the Texas-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has agreed to hear oral arguments on the group’s claim that the administration crossed a legal line in suddenly imposing new ownership hurdles and taxes on the firearms.
“I expect that we will win at the 5th Circuit, and I am sure that the Biden Justice Department will appeal to the Supreme Court. I look forward to getting this case to the high court,” SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb told Secrets on Wednesday. |

Trump’s long-standing identification as a gun owner, previously holding a concealed carry permit and owning at least two handguns, raises questions about the current whereabouts of these firearms and their legal status. Additionally, Trump’s conviction in New York means that he must seek restoration of his gun rights in that state upon completion of his sentence, adhering to Florida law that requires the restoration of rights by the state in which the conviction occurred.
The broader implications of Trump’s legal troubles extend beyond gun ownership. The former president’s ability to travel, vote, and even potentially run for office may be affected by his felon status, ... |

Hunter Biden’s trial for lying on a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Form 4473 has kicked off in Delaware. The trial has split the Second Amendment community. Some gun owners hope he gets criminally convicted and sent to prison, while others believe that the 4473 is unconstitutional and that no matter what your opinion of the man on trial is, we shouldn’t root for unconstitutional laws.
Hunter Biden marked that he was not a user of illegal drugs on the ATF Form 4473 when he purchased his Colt Cobra revolver. At the time, Biden was using crack cocaine and various other drugs. |

C.A. Bridges, a “digital producer” for Gannett’s USA TODAY Florida network, wrote basically the same story on May 12 and May 28, which claimed that Florida has experienced more mass shootings than any other state. Unfortunately for Bridges and his readers, both stories were wrong, incredibly biased and typical of the fake news that permeates today’s corporate media, especially when the topic involves guns. |

The bill ballyhooed by the Warwick Beacon (and the company’s other two newspapers, the Cranston Herald and Johnston SunRise) and other gun control advocates takes away the most essential reason for constitutionally owning a gun — self defense. A gun cannot be used for self defense or to protect a family member if it cannot be quickly accessed. Thus, the bill is most likely unconstitutional because it takes away the most important reason for gun ownership. |
