Let's have some equal justice for all here DOJ should indict all who have falsely stated on a federal firearms application that they were not addicted to any narcotics when they bought a firearm and they were. What percentage of these people would you think would be Republicans vs Democrats?
If only we can get Republican legislation passed that prevents those convicted of a federal crime from voting. We would win by a landslide in 2024.

(95,257 posts)To enquire deeply into the possible drug use of everyone who's signed one of those forms in the last however many years. I expect it would trigger a boom in prison construction should all the pot-heads and meth freaks who hadn't 'fessed up on no form be given the full Hunter Biden treatment. Probably knock the stuffing out of most local Republican party organizations, too....

(5,553 posts)Remember President Biden was the one of the key sponsors of the Brady Bill which implemented this question and the penalties that come along with it, ironic isn't it?

think there's any overlap? lying on that question is commonplace.

Some of those right wingers can't tell you what planet they are on but will deny that they are addicted
to any substance.
