ArcaneSlime,

Actually question “21. f” on ATF form 4473 is:


<span style="color:#323232;">Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized
</span><span style="color:#323232;">for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside.
</span>

So “yes, and alcoholics too, technically. Alcohol is a depressant.”

Thing is unless you’ve got prior convictions or get caught with both the gun and a substance, or try to buy the gun while obviously fucked up on something, it’s kinda hard to catch.

I suppose if you film yourself on drugs and then forget to go “no that wasn’t real drugs, it’s fake” like how they filmed Nice Dreams and didn’t get arrested for the weed, and then people put a political target on your back, then yeah that might get you caught too.

Also it’s a dumb rule and should be stricken from the form. Especially weed FFS, which also should be legal.
