Appeal to the Supreme Court and let them overturn the conviction on the History and Tradition grounds that there's no historical precedent from infringing on the gun rights of people on crack. 5th Circuit already ruled on this matter and acquitted the defendant on similar grounds, in the case USA v. Daniels.

For anyone curious. I mean I disagree with these ridiculous overlay broad second amendment interpretations personally, but looks like he has an appeal argument based on how the courts have been treating the second amendment lately. I look forward to the mental gymnastics of the second amendment extremists on this case. Seeing marijuana spelled "marihuana" over and over in the ruling above is also pretty funny.
It's like they channeled their inner Hank Hill.
It was always spelled marihuana until they propagandized it.
Mary Hane just doesn’t have the same ring to it
Wikipedia suggests that the origin of the j in marijuana is a bit more obscure than that:
I might be wrong but doesn't being drunk count against you too in this case, no more drinking and hunting
The supreme court is ready to drop everything and confirm the lower court’s ruling
I hope so
