Jackson, Miss. – -(AmmoLand.com)-A Forest Mississippi man pled guilty to possession of a firearm by an unlawful user of a controlled substance, announced U.S. Attorney Darren LaMarca and Special Agent in Charge Kurt Thielhorn of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
According to court documents, Braxton Lee McCann, 32, possessed a 9 mm caliber pistol while using methamphetamine daily. Officers of the Scott County, Mississippi Sheriff’s Office recovered the firearm on March 25, 2022. Further investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) revealed evidence of McCann’s daily use of methamphetamine.
As an unlawful user of a controlled substance, it is contrary to federal law for McCann to possess any firearm.
McCann pleaded guilty to a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 922(g)(3) and 924(a)(2), which criminalize the possession of firearms by unlawful users of controlled substances. He is scheduled to be sentenced on September 29, 2022 and faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
The Scott County Sheriff’s Office and the ATF are investigating the case.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles W. Kirkham is prosecuting the case.
This case is being prosecuted as part of the joint federal, state, and local Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Program, the centerpiece of the Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction efforts. PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime. Through PSN, a broad spectrum of stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them. As part of this strategy, PSN focuses enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders and partners with locally based prevention and reentry programs for lasting reductions in crime.

But he plead guilty, something Hunter will never do or be allowed to do.
So the guy committed a crime while using meth & a firearm ? How did he manage to use daily & not shoot himself or someone else ? The BS laws they create. I could care less what drug he chooses to use. Unless his actions were detrimental to someone else life. I see this as BS. I remember when weed was illegal. And there was a time alcohol was also illegal. Who decides what is legal or not is what’s in question here. Got to protect the real drug dealers. We all know who they are.
Well, maybe Feds are waiting for Hunter to become a true felon for all his other illegal Xiden Crime Family Syndicate dealings before charging him with lying on his 4473, prohibited drug user in possession of a firearm……..AND, felon in possession of a gun……somewhere in this world, there will be justice.

If the government disarms the public then the progression of this virus will outpace the survival rate. Analysis detailed in a recent case study on a patient diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma called angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma provided strong evidence for unexpected rapid progression of lymphomatous lesions after administration of the BNT162b2 mRNA booster shot Since these vaccines are specifically designed to induce high and ongoing production of SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoproteins, the implications are ominous. As described above, inhibition of IRF9 will suppress TRAIL and all its regulatory and downstream apoptosis-inducing effects. IRF9 suppression via exosomal microRNA should also be… Read more »
