BIG Federal Gun Control Law STRUCK DOWN! Supreme Court? USA v Daniels, 5th Circuit Court of Appeals

Guns and Drugs: they don't get along, at least under the law. 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3) makes it illegal for any person “who is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance . . . to . . . possess . . . any firearm.” An “unlawful user” is someone who uses illegal drugs regularly and in some temporal proximity to the gun possession.

In this video we will be analyzing USA v. Daniels in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.
In April 2022, two law enforcement officers pulled Daniels over for driving without a license plate. One of the officers—an agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”)—approached the vehicle and recognized the smell of marijuana. He searched the cabin and found several marijuana cigarette butts in the ashtray. In addition to the drugs, the officers found two loaded firearms: a 9mm pistol and a semi-automatic rifle. Daniels was taken into custody and transported to the local DEA office. At no point that night did the DEA administer a drug test or ask Daniels whether he was under the influence; nor did the officers note or testify that he appeared intoxicated. But after Daniels was Mirandized at the station, he admitted that he had smoked marijuana since high school and was still a regular user. When asked how often he smoked, he confirmed he used marijuana “approximately fourteen days out of a month.” p. 2-3 of decision
