Hunter Biden Indicted on Gun Charges, Case Could Challenge Federal Firearm Ban for Drug Users

Hunter Biden was indicted for lying on a federal form to buy a gun and possessing a firearm while illegally using drugs.
The charges relate to a federal law prohibiting unlawful drug users from owning firearms, which Biden's defense may challenge as unconstitutional.
In 2008's Heller case, the Supreme Court established an individual right to possess guns but left some regulations uncertain.
The 2022 Bruen ruling expanded gun rights outside the home and set a new test challenging many regulations.
Recent court decisions have struck down charges based on gun bans, possibly dismantling federal firearm regulations if Biden's case succeeds.
