SAF & FPC DESTROY More Federal Gun Control!

This video from Guns & Gadgets discusses the legal challenge against 18 USC 922(g), specifically concerning the prohibition of firearm possession by unlawful users of controlled substances. The Firearms Policy Coalition and Second Amendment Foundation have filed amicus briefs arguing that this law lacks historical analogues required by the Bruen decision, as historical firearm restrictions were based on danger, not mere intoxicant use. The case, US v. Daniel, could significantly impact gun control laws related to drug use.
