It sounds like you are okay with a drug addled user with getting away with lying about ILLEGAL drug use on his background check. Sorry I'm not.Yes he did, but here's the deal. If you are currently taking any number of prescribed drugs your 2nd amendment rights are forfeit under the regulations as now written. That particular question on the 4473 is a form of entrapment. We can agree that Hunter is a pig but even pigs have their rights and get their day in court.
The irony here is that the government has already tried to plea deal the charges away. They DON'T want Hunter to get convicted on that charge and for a myriad of reasons there are thousands of perfectly legal gun owners out there that could be subject to the same charges that don't want him convicted either. Given the ATF's recently runaway over-reach regulation rewrites there are damn good reasons to shut them down now and Hunter's case is a path to doing so. In other words I don't give a fuck about Hunter but I do care about the ramifications of the ATF prevailing on this issue.
What prescribed drugs would preclude you from owning a gun? Psyche meds?
