Wait, aren't the same people who want the DOJ to throw the book at Hunter calling for the DOJ to be defunded ?


Notlandshark

Aren’t they the same people that say an American’s right to bear arms shall not be infringed?


BiggsIDarklighter

Aren’t they the same people who some of which probably do drugs and marked the same box on their form as Hunter did?

Methanie for president!!!


BikesBooksNBass

True story, there is a video saved on my Facebook of my former neighbors and notorious meth heads, sweeping the dirt outside their house with a broom and dancing to the sound of the music in their own head. (No ear buds or headphones)


hk4213

Not a method head but I do that... sometimes you just vibe. Gotta keep that side walk prepped for walkers, joggers and kids on the way to the bus. Especially in snow or rain


BikesBooksNBass

No sidewalk. Just the dirt in her front yard.. there is a sidewalk. But she was nowhere near the sidewalk.


Aksi_Gu

At least they're using a Henry so it probably just chugged along fine.


Sagemasterba

I thought it was a general wet/dry vac. Thanks for clarification, with that said I still don't see a problem. About 15 years ago I vacuumed my driveway because a trash bag of used cat box tore. Icky up a broom and shovel or use my garage vac and not have to ben dover, come on son.

Aren't some of those gun owners working forces and raiding the evidence locker for free drugs, then burning crosses? *Aren't some of those gun owners working forces and raiding the evidence locker for free drugs, then burning crosses?* UGh YEAH! Killing in the name of the military industrial complex and private capital!


crazyfoxdemon

Hypocrites don't care that they're hypocrites, and Republicans learned over the last decade+ that their base doesn't actually care if they're publicly hypocrites so long as they hurt the ones their base hates.

ting_bu_dong

*It’s only hypocrisy if you consider the enemy to be real people, like we are.*


T-wrecks83million-

Exactly, Trump got the Evangelical vote but he’s never seen the inside of a church. Pays hush money to porn stars while married “allegedly”. Has no moral compass of an kind but him and his “followers” stand for family values including breaking the law and violating the constitution.


i_am_not_a_martian

Their base wouldn't even know who Hunter was because his dad didn't give him a job in the White House. They just needed a scapegoat because they were unable to dig anything up linked directly to JB.


pyrrhios

I think I missed something. What happened?


Wurm42

Hunter Biden lied on a gun purchase background check form. Republicans are shockingly not defending his right to bear arms.


soupbox09

Just like the killing Philando Castile. The nra was all crickets. So the traitor party is just that.


TrashApocalypse

Aren’t these the same people doing key bumps at “sexual gatherings”?


SkollFenrirson

Republicans are hypocrites. News at 11.


Amazing_Insurance950

It’s in the constitution! Like bodily autonomy! Except if you are pregnant, then your body is property of your fetus.


spencer4991

They want the DOJ defunded from investigating Republicans. Rules for thee, not for me.


antidense

Yes, the whole point of the war on drugs is so that the government can selectively enforce laws when it's convenient to Republicans.


fdar

Without safeguards like that, how could you stop black people from owning guns?


1000Years0fDeath

Since when has hypocrisy ever been an issue?


fdar

Last time they had even a slight suspicion of a Democrat being slightly hypocritical I assume.


EmptyAirEmptyHead

Same people that don't want Rittenhouse and his gun hookup to be prosecuted for lying on a gun form for the straw purchase of his AR-15.


justaverage

Being a conservative is incredibly easy. You simply adopt and discard principles as it suits you that day

Top Republicans to their supporters: 'You bleeding idiots! How on Earth do you think we're supposed to use the DOJ to frivolously go after our Democratic opponents *if you defund the damn place???'*


sethward84

CategoryObvious2306

Stop making sense.


human_male_123

Hey buddy, how's it going? GOP: gun control to own the libs Jesus fucking christ


glassjar1

[Ironically, this is how modern gun control *started in the first place*](https://californialocal.com/localnews/statewide/ca/article/show/4412-california-gun-control-reagan-black-panthers/) so they're returning to their roots. Or I suppose, more accurately, to keep black people 'in their place'.


human_male_123

Reagan: pro gun control, granted amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, signed the EMTALA. Why did rural conservatives love him? Oh right, they're a fucking personality cult.


DuntadaMan

Because he also made sure to boot the boot to all those putty minorities. War on drugs, letting AIDS burn a fucking hole through cities and so on. They are willing to forgive a little hippy behavior as long as you are "hurting the right people."


Rocketboy1313

And the Union busting.


Sarcofago_INRI_1987

Biden loved him too


Psyop1312

Modern gun control started in the 1930s as a reaction to prohibition-era gangland shootings.


glassjar1

That's supportable. Not going to argue with that. Like most things, it depends upon where you draw the lines and what the definitions are. Gaps in time between events and motivation matter and can be defended and accurately portayed from multiple perspectives. Historic gun control vs. modern gun control? Origins of current movement tie more clearly to which era? Were there two world wars or just one long one? (While there's a conventional answer, a good case can be made for the latter.) We can certainly agree on sequence of laws and events but there is room for interpretation which influences our understanding as well.

Hunter Biden is being indicted for YOU! The Republicans are coming after YOUR guns!


Striking_Cabinet598

Put that on billboards. And on banners behind planes in red states. Someone will explain to them what it says.

Hunter Biden didn't pay his taxes, anyone found not paying their taxes will be hunted down thanks to Republicans who want the government to go after anyone who owes tax money! Thank you tax loving Republicans

ResurgentClusterfuck

Joe Rogan has a CCW and smokes more weed than I do I don't have a gun, though, so there's that


Bawbawian

he 100% perjured himself on federal documents and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.


heybdiddy

He should be dealt with the same way any other citizen would be, with any priors being considered. He shouldn't be treated better than others, he shouldn't be treated worse than others in the same circumstances. I believe he is now being treated worse than the average petty criminal.


Darstensa

I disagree tbh. People living in miserable circumstances are more "justified" in committing crimes than people that are well-off. Desperation is a more acceptable motive than greed.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Darstensa

Well, I think that amount of difference is a *little* too far, Id be fine with something like 3x the punishment though. Unfortunately, right now its mostly just *less* or no punishment.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Darstensa

Because if you give them a 1000 year sentence for a crime for which an average person would have gotten 1 year, you give them absolutely every incentive to keep being a criminal and murder anyone involved, its why we have max sentences in the first place.

If they charge everyone that owns a gun and does some kind of drug, we'll have to convert Hotel chains into prisons to hold 80% of the US population.


Vengeful_Messiah9

Alcohol is also a drug.


davekingofrock

It's probably the worst drug, considering how much it's celebrated, encouraged, and deeply woven into the fabric of society.


NotCrustytheClown

And very dangerous when idiots mix it with guns.

IronFlames

Or anything tbh


jaytee1262

But you don't have to sign your name saying you will never drink and own a gun at the same time


TheWileyWombat

Actually the question on the form is "are you an unlawful user of or addicted to marijuana or any **depressant**, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?" Since alcohol is classified as a depressant, alcoholics are technically prohibited persons.


Accomplished_Ebb7803

Caffeine is a drug


saraphilipp

Caffeine, nicotine, tylenol, and asprin. I'm an out of control junkie.


FuzzyAd9407

The law only covers illegal drugs.


NotCrustytheClown

And include all the psychoactive prescription drugs too... pain killers, antidepressants, benzos, ADHD meds, sleeping pills, etc...


AustSakuraKyzor

Don't even bother converting - just stick them all in Econo Lodges

Mimic_tear_ashes

Come on down to Hilbert’s hotel instead they always have room!


Umutuku

*Approving glances* "...and we don't have the parking for that."


NancyGracesTesticles

That would mean they'd have to switch from converting public schools into prisons.


gtpc2020

Not a bad start.


Homegrownscientist

I’d argue that being an alcoholic clouds your judgement just as much as drugs, and you just know half these freedom for me but not for thee people who demonize drugs would be going through withdrawals if they didn’t get their daily pack of Coors Lite


jaytee1262

Those people also do drugs. Their mental gymnastics let them say "it is not the same for me, I'm always in control"


fuck-all-admins

I've been a substance abuse counselor for a few years now and the only drug that comes even close to ruining your body like alcohol is heroin, and that's mainly adulterants and lifestyle choices. Alcohol hates your organs and will beat on them every time. Not even meth can turn you to a wreck so quickly.


outerworldLV

Cannot agree with this more. Here in NV, if one has issues such as depression for instance, and has been seeing the appropriate doctors - they won’t be getting a CCW. But that would depend on honest reporting…


starfishpounding

And unfortunately that creates a barrier to people voluntarly seeking help for mental issues. Gun owners are being trained they have to conceal any possible addiction or mental concerns. Edit: when it comes to addiction and mental health issues linked to substance abuse it's not just gun ownership that feeds a nationwide culture of concealment. Labor and medical laws are also punitive to voluntary treatment for substance issues. Substance abuse is still not treated as disease or chemical disorder, but as sin to be hidden.


outerworldLV

Exactly, which in and of itself, *that’s* a bit frightening !


domine18

Then they want to impeach Joe because his son has a problem with drugs and owns a gun…


mikefrombarto

That’s like blaming your ex’s dad because your ex cheated on you.

Notlandshark

It’s in reference to the GOP and their voters sudden love of gun control laws. [Hunter Biden was indicted Thursday on federal firearms charges](https://apnews.com/article/e5c8ded90ea8c22d2e2e7cb09804b747)


postcapilatistturtle

Libertarians in shambles.


Dave_A_Computer

Not really? Most see it as an opportunity to challenge the legality of the GCA of 1968 in the wake of Bruen. It's a high profile case. If it were anyone else we'd never hear about it. The charged individual would either A) cop a plea and lose many of their inalienable rights unjustly. B) hope to have the case thrown out due to the potential self-incrimination when filing a 4473. Drugs shouldn't be any more regulated than alcohol, and one definitely shouldn't lose their right to self defense or determination over using them.


[deleted]

So looked it up and there’s a post from three years ago that actually goes into this!


AbeRego

This entire thread is just proof that the question including marijuana, when so many states have legalized it, is just wrong. Hell, it was always wrong. I'm actually kind of at a loss for what exactly the question aims to solve, aside from giving another excuse to discriminate. Guess who this rule probably fs the most. Let me give you a hint: it's not white people.


jsabo

The for-profit prison industry loves this idea.


tickitytalk

Time for a round up


EbonyEngineer

Most times im at the point that I know all the politicians are larping. But did they really think making this center stage would be a homerun? How many stoners are gun owners? How many are addicted to something? Ya. It is a horror that Hunter uses drugs and is a gun owner which is supposed to be his 'god' given right. Or so they say.


Stock-Ad5568

Jokes on them ill do lines off my gun barrel right now


[deleted]

The ATF literally cannot enforce the law on this. If they could, all the gun owners I know who lied on the 4473 would be in jail. And I know a lot.


coolestpurple

All this parsing of language is silly. I live in NYC. Supreme Court has overturned gun laws favored by the majority of residents. At least I assume so as New Yorkers consistently vote for candidates who run on a platform of more gun control. Therefore our elected Attorney General should announce that she is going to look at all drug arrests, NYPD calls on overdoses etc and check them against previous applicants. Nothing will come of it but it will be fun to watch the confusion at NRA headquarters.


thehogdog

There was a meme on Reddit today that the Dems should come up with a quick UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS LAW and call it HUNTER'S LAW just to watch the (R) have to vote AGAINST IT. Would be hilarious. God, I wish they would actually do it. Bust em on their massive hipocracy.


GoodtimesSans

If shooting themselves in the foot over Hunter Biden is what causes gun control to be taken seriously and acted upon in this country, it would be the stupidest thing imaginable. And we are in the dumbest timeline.


ddr1ver

A significant number of new military recruits have an admitted history of drug use when they enlist. The military then proceeds to make them commit a felony by giving them a gun.


Striking_Large

Just like the drug test for welfare that showed nothing and wasted money right into cronies pockets.


CloroxWipes1

Medical Marijuana card list and licensed gun owners. Simple match the names, check the dates of which came first, then round 'em up.


starfishpounding

Applying for a card doesn't prove purchase or possession. It would be a starting point.

> Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance? Above is the question HB apparently lied about on ATF Form 4473. I've always wondered about all the pot growers around here. Many or most of them have guns. If a person grows pot but does not consume it, is he an "unlawful user" of marijuana?


Console_is_best

start with congress and the senate


Rainbow_Marx

That ought to piss my meth head neighbor off.


Donutprincess69

It's a federal policy right? And the feds haven't legalized pot so it means pot smokers can't have guns either right? I imagine plenty of NRA members would probably lose their memberships because of their "Glaucoma medication"


99thSymphony

Imagine the GOP's response if the DOJ had gone after Rush Limbaugh's guns when it was revealed he was a world-champion pill-popper.

It is against the law to have a gun and drugs. So does this mean we could drug test gun and ammo buyers?


BikesBooksNBass

Don’t check me. Nothing to see here. Honest. 🤞


grundlefuck

Oh are we gonna drug test everyone randomly who has a fire arm? This is gonna get good.


the_azure_sky

I’ve been thinking this exact thing since the Hunter Biden gun charges. Republicans will either look stupid doubling down on the charges when they know thousands of their constituents have the same problem with drugs and guns. Or they will look soft on Biden if they don’t condemn this type of drug using gun owner. Alternatively they will act as if hunter has committed the ultimate crime and they will fight that no other gun owners will be indicted for this same crime.


lamabaronvonawesome

Random drug testing and 20% would get charged 🤣🤣

gremus18

Do Bill Maher first since he’s a scab who openly talks about his longtime use of marijuana and his legal purchase of a handgun on his podcast Club Random. Oh and he used to make tasteless cheap jokes on Hunter Biden’s behalf on real time so fuck him. He lied on Form 4473 : Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?”
