It’s basically boils down to “gotcha” requirements. If you get investigated for federal crimes and also own firearms but live in a state where some scheduled drugs are legal that you use, the fed can still just flag any future checks and charge you with lying on any previous background checks.
I am not a fan of that kind of legal fuckery, especially if a person happens to be charged with a crime they didn’t commit and still get investigated.

It’s worth noting that this kind of shit never happens and the only reason Hunter is being charged with it is because that’s all they could make stick
It happens. It’s just not usually news worthy. Low bar, but still.
