Sweet. Now scour every other gun owner’s publications and social media and if you find evidence of drug use ring them up on federal charges because apparently we’re enforcing that shit on its own now. It’s going to be interesting to have to visit all of my rural-ass relatives in a federal penitentiary.
Every one of my republican voting friends owns firearms and smokes weed. One of them has a hemp businesses that they’re just waiting to switch over to cannabis as soon as it’s legalized. Guess who’s the most diehard Trump lover of the bunch…
So you’re suggesting ruining someone’s life because you’re pissy about political theatrics? Be better.

Gro-bro culture.
Every weed grower voted against legalization when California would have been the first in the nation to legalize in 2012.
It would be super fun if Hunter’s expensive lawyers raise some argument about the constitutionality of gun crimes that eventually makes it to the Supreme Court - put Thomas and Alito in the position of either pissing off gun nuts or pissing off MAGA idiots (and the center of that Venn diagram is quite large).
You’re not wrong.
But it’s also not incorrect that Biden’s son is a piece of shit, and I would really like to see our president spend as much effort trying to get a living wage for the American people as he does trying to keep his offspring out of jail.
Lmao… no he isnt… It’s not shity, to like your own penis and take pics of it to send out… enjoy having sex, even with whore (take a lesson from frank Reynolds) and to be into guns, and oh yeah, coke.
That is literally your everyday republican politician… they just don’t like Hunter, cause his massive dong made them feel confusing feelings they try to repress.
What makes him a piece of shit? Genuinely curious. Do you know him personally?
Not the person you asked, but from what I can tell based on what I read, he’s a typical nepo baby who trades way too much on his father’s fame. The calls to Biden were things like “hey Dad, how are you?” during a meeting to show that he could get the VP on the phone. Biden didn’t even know he was bragging about his father in a meeting when he took the call. He just thought it was his son calling to say hi.
So kind of an asshole nepo baby.
Well I for one am glad this came out.
This cleared up any doubts I had in my mind when it came for voting for this guy for president. Yessiree, I absolutely am not gonna vote for Hunter Biden in 2024.
I don’t know, seems like a different kinda leader, not a beltway insider.
The NRA is going to leap to his defense, right?
Just like how they leapt to the defense of Philando Castile and Breonna Taylor.
Is going after gun owners who lied about their drug usage while purchasing their guns really the road Republicans want to go down? That is fine by me! Go get all that drug using gun owners Feds!
Honestly, that’s a horrible idea. Far more minorities are convicted on drug charges than their population represents. It’s likely that the document violates people’s 2nd amendment rights (for those who think that it still applies when a well regulated malitia is not required for the protection of our free state). Regardless, it’s a bad precident. I don’t care about Hunter, but this should not be used on anyone else. If I had my choice, he’d use his resources, which he has plenty of, to fight it for the good of all other people, but that would be bad politically.
If its a horrible idea, the law should be changed. It shouldn’t be determined by one rich, white guy’s ability to fight it in court. Precident isn’t going to help any minorities or majorities with this type of case.
If it’s ruled unconstitutional then it’s unconstitutional. It won’t just be for him. I believe it’s happened once for this form, but it was in a stare court, so the precedent isn’t set at the federal level. I might be wrong though. It might just be strong suspicion that it’s unconstitutional that hasn’t been tested yet.
He is charged with lying about using drugs in order to buy a gun. Today I learned it is illegal in the USA to have a gun if you have ever used drugs. Alright police… Go round up all the guns from anyone who has ever used drugs.
Republicans. Because they are jonesing for a way to impeach the other guy so they can feel better about Trump.
Used drugs… ever??
That sounds quite absurd honestly. So who would be left to even own guns? People who never even touched alcohol once in their life? I feel like that’s almost nobody left in the US.
The text of the statute refers to someone who is “an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance,” so alcohol wouldn’t count. You’re asked on the form to attest that you are not either a current user or addict, so I don’t think past use applies either. You just can’t both own a gun and do illegal drugs simultaneously, which I guess they think they can prove Hunter did. It’s one of those stupid laws that can be enacted selectively to add charges and put people in prison for longer.
I’ve never been asked if about prior drug use in connection with buying a firearm. Is it normal to ask that? Or is it something that isn’t asked about and happens to be obscurely illegal?
You’ve never done an ATF 4473? It’s required if buying from a dealer. It may vary by state for private sales.
Yes, they said iirc it says are you now or have you ever been addicted to xyz.
Ed: Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance? Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside.
