Appeals court rejects Hunter Biden’s Second Amendment defense as prematureA federal appeals court dismissed Hunter Biden’s attempt to derail his upcoming trial on gun charges, ruling Tuesday that his claims of Second Amendment protection have to be argued later.
The trial of the president’s son is set to start next week in a federal courtroom in Delaware. He is charged with possessing a gun as an unlawful drug user and with lying on the federal firearms purchase background check form about his drug use. The Supreme Court two years ago issued a landmark ruling in the Bruen case striking down state laws setting strict standards for who can obtain a concealed-carry permit. In that case, the justices said only gun restrictions envisioned at the time the Second Amendment was crafted are permissible.
“Apart from the harm of being convicted, the mere prospect of prosecution causes a distinct injury by inhibiting Biden and others who fear that prosecution under Section 922 may follow the exercise of their Second Amendment rights,” Abbe David Lowell, Mr. Biden’s lawyer, argued.
