Deja Nicole Taylor might have been playing too fast, and too lose with her gun; but, the charge to which she just plead guilty, and for which she's facing fifteen years in prison, is irrelevant.
She's facing fifteen years in prison for lying on her 4473. When she, a black woman, filled out the same form that I filled out twice, said that she wasn't a user of an illegal, controlled substance, when she bought her gun, she was attacked by the state because she was proven to be a marijuana user.
She didn't kill anybody. She absolutely didn't kill anybody due to reefer madness. The claim is that she lied about her substance intake to get the gun.
This is multiple levels of stupid.
First of all, let's just deal with this -- it's always fucking stupid that your home state can grant you a liberty that the federal government can deny. Weed is legal in Virginia. Regardless of the state, it's dumb to deny the right to own firearms to people who use weed. I'm not a weed user; but, I am a struggling alcoholic who doesn't have to worry about my possession of a firearm landing me in prison for more than a decade.
That doesn't even scratch the surface of the stupid or the evil.
This is happening in the same fucking week that Hunter Biden is getting off with a slap on the wrist for committing the same crime, and lying about the use of much harder drugs while lying on the federal forms that he needed to fill out to buy a gun.
So, if Biden's you're guy, your guy is the white dude who will throw a black woman in prison for the exact same crime upon which he'll look the other way if it's a white man doing it.
