SUMMARY: A federal appeals court has ruled that drug users should not be automatically banned from owning firearms. The ruling overturned the conviction of Patrick D. Daniels, a Mississippi man found with marijuana and two firearms during a traffic stop. The court's decision is not expected to impact current cases, such as that of Hunter Biden, but could influence future charges filed under this law. Questions about the future of the law, which was projected to be part of a plea deal for Biden, are now being raised.
