Well, conservative gun fanatics have unintentionally let Hunter off the hook.
"Drug user cannot be barred from owning guns, US court rules"
"Aug 9 (Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Wednesday ruled that a decades-old law prohibiting users of illegal drugs from owning firearms was unconstitutional as applied to the case of a marijuana user, the latest fallout from a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year that expanded gun rights.
A three-judge panel of the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that the federal law violated a Mississippi man's right to "keep and bear arms" under the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment."
There goes the case against Hunter since, according to a bunch of conservative judges (both Supreme Court and Appellate Court) it is unConstitutional that drug use disqualifies a person from owning a gun. Hunter has been indicted for illegally owning a gun while a drug user. But at this point Hunter can't be found guilty of breaking an unConstitutional gun law, as any Republican can tell you.
