    I think that Hunter Biden is finally doing what Republicans have been doing for a long time, and Democrats generally refuse to do - go low. Use those courts. Get a Republican appointed judge on record saying "Access to guns shouldn't be restricted, but in this case..."

    The article says it's the federal Gun Control Act of 1968, which says that anyone "who is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance" can't buy a gun. The ATF has interpreted this as anyone who has used drugs in the last year can't buy a gun. It sounds like gun dealers make you fill out a form that says you're not a drug user when you buy a gun. This is assuming that Reason isn't lying to us.

    In any case, if the law is as described, I guarantee that it's been used more to block women and POC from buying guns than any white people.

    Sure, drugs make you paranoid, but Hunter has good reason to want a gun.

    He'll probably do hookers and blow on the Joe Rogan podcast and become a legendary figure amongst youth voters

    Then it will all be revealed to be a FBI counter-psy op against Russian election interference

    (this is the fanfic I am here for)

    Assuming that Reason Magazine isn't lying about this, it looks like it's self-attested - people fill out a form saying they don't do drugs and they can have a gun. To the extent that a law like this is enforced, it's going to be enforced on black people. "Well, sir, you said you don't take drugs, but I imagine you have a history of being addicted to the crack cocaine, so I'm not going to sell you this gun" while the scruffiest white methhead gets their gun, no problemo.

    And it is also something that is only enforced after the fact as an add-on to additional crimes. In Hunter's case, he is being charged with falsifying government records because he said he had was not taking drugs when he filled out his background check form for the gun. If Hunter wasn't being investigated by the FBI as part of the Republican witch hunt, his lie on the background form never would have been found and never would be prosecuted.

    If the ATF were serious about the requirement, they'd require a pee test to prove someone wasn't on drugs as part of the background check.

    Nah, the salesman wants to make the sale. It’ll be selectively enforced, but based on other factors.

    Like, I almost posted in this forum yesterday or the day before that some wingnut is formally opposing Prince Harry’s visa because he admitted to drug use in his book. This particular wingnut is a Brit ex-pat, so he has an agenda.

    I think that Biden should sign the debt limit bill now, instead of waiting until the weekend.

    That party is going to be lit this weekend. :)

    “President Joe Biden will host the largest White House Pride Month celebration in history on Thursday, in a deliberate contrast to a cascade of Republican legislation and other attacks targeting LGBTQ+ people,” Reuters reports.

    As I read this there was a Bud Light commercial with some cornball country song "a cold beer on a Friday nite..." They're sprinting away from Gay.

    Good.

    All those fees are why I stopped going to shows. Especially when they bring them up after the fact.

    I am hoping for a little more though.

    The RFK jr grift (possibly a Bannon ratfvck) represents a hell of a lot of what has gone wrong with the gatekeeper effect in politics

    Hunter will plead guilty to two misdemeanors and gun possession. I look forward to Republicans going off on the latter about how owning guns is bad. :whistling:
