Hunter Biden's Lawyers Use Gun Ruling to Fight Charges

Hunter Biden's purchase of a gun in 2018 while he was allegedly using crack cocaine is being investigated by the Justice Department. If charged, his lawyers have said they will challenge the law under the Second Amendment, which could turn the case into a high-profile showdown over the right to bear arms. The Gun Control Act of 1968 prohibits unlawful drug users from possessing firearms, but the constitutionality of that law is newly in question after a precedent-rocking decision the Supreme Court handed down almost a year ago.
