Completely Unexpected - Court Finds This Gun Law is Unconstitutional

In a completely unexpected turn of events, a Utah court finds this gun law is unconstitutional. In U.S. v. Morales-Lopez, the defendant challenged the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(3) (the prohibition on the possession of firearms and ammunition by a person who is addicted to or an unlawful user of a controlled substance). After review, the federal district court found that the gun law is "unconstitutionally vague." This could mean the case makes it way to the United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) for eventual review. But, what does it mean when a court finds a gun law to be unconstitutionally vague? Does it apply to the case in question or to other cases as well? Armed Attorneys Richard Hayes and Edwin Walker discuss the court finding and the implications this could have on the existing gun law.
