Naah, not hung. I would be happy if he were simply removed from office. Won't/can't happen, but it is a nice thought...
Well I hate Chuck and anti gun legislation, but whats so bad about keeping druggies from getting guns? They often have a false sense of reality. I dont want some dumbass crackhead who legally bought a gun, shooting a politician and screwing things up for me.
If they take another test later to prove that they are clean i am fine eith them getting a gun
I am open to being corrected on this stance though, do yall know something I dont?

I admitted to the intake personnel at MEPS in 1987 that I had smoked. They handed me a cup and directed me to fill it. I was negative because I wasn't an addict and didn't smoke like a chimney. According to the wants of Mr. Schumer, I shouldn't be allowed to own a firearm.
First sentence of the article:
If someone admits to a federal official that he's used illegal drugs, that information should be sent to the FBI so that person can be disqualified from purchasing a gun, Sen. Chuck Schumer said Sunday.
He's a tool.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who appeared with Rendell, said that some would argue that if more people had been carrying guns, the alleged shooter may not have gotten off as many rounds as he did. But, he added, Loughner apparently suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, which went untreated.
I smoked quite a bit of grass in high school. I stopped a year before joining. I did my four years honorably. I don't smoke anymore. I've been out three years. I carry firearms safely and responsibly, if not always legally. My story is fairly typical.
I'll let everyone here make their own judgements about those facts.
And yet what about alcohol, Mr. Schumer? Oh, wait, the government says you can use that inebriating substance so that's okay, but to toke on a smoldering weed they deem unacceptable turns you into a potential psychotic set to kill if you own a gun some day. Read the second quote in my sig, says it all about Schumer and this kind of government thinking.
My neighbor made a nice analogy the other day: "Little brother, according to the Government, it's okay to jump off a cliff as long as you have a pair of skis strapped to your feet, but smoking a joint on your own couch in your own locked house is somehow too dangerous?"
The ramifications of such a law have the potential to go far beyond the "Right to Keep and Bear Arms" issue. Think of the legal uses of the information once entered into a database of "Self Admitted Substance Abusers". Would it be said that the person wiavered their Fifth Ammendment rights in such a case? Under the Fifth Ammendment a person has the ability to refuse to answer a question because the response could provide self-incriminating evidence of an illegal conduct punished by fines, penalties or forfeiture. Remember the Lautenberg Ammendment?
"There is a right to bear arms. It's in the Constitution. And you can't ignore it, just like you can't ignore the others," Schumer said. "But like all the other rights, it's not absolute." Democrats face tough fight on gun control after Tucson shootings - CNN.com

Schumer and his like are as dangerous to American Freedom as a loaded .45 with the hammer back ! He has always been a anti firearm nutcase and will never change. A large percentage of American boys have tried prohibited deeds at some time of their lives and seen that was not the way to go. To tell the Feds anything in any manner about one's uses, deeds, mistakes, habits is the first mile on the road to slavery by the liberal, progressives, commies, and socialists !
Its one thing to have tried prohibited things and another to be a worthless scum bag with hair growing down to the ass that is a useless hunk of only consuming and never producing anything of value to the community. Show me a grown man that hasn't either as a boy smoked, chewed, played with johnson or puffed a weed. Or something Pop and the community thought evil ? I like my beer but never a DWI. never jail, never !

I never smoked that crap, but I could not care less what other people do as long as it aint affecting me and I dont have to see it!
I think boot camp has a good way of "weeding" out the dopers.. I dont think dopers could make it through basic training.

Urinalyses are given before and during (as a surprise) basic training. I saw one guy get shit-canned for failing during basic. Afterwards they are given on a semi-random basis for the remainder of the career. I've seen LOTS of people get shit-canned for marijuana.
I to have seen people lose a career for popping hot on a urinalysis while in the military. I've never touched the stuff but I do remember a time in the military when many people answered yes to that question about usage. How many veterans/military members would lose their second amendment rights for answering yes to a question 20+ years ago?
A law as such would be a nice way for Chuck to say, "Thank you for your service!"

How about drug screenings before collecting ANY Gvnmnt or State aide?? OH but that would be "Violating" those F'ing losers rights I'm sure he'd say..... what a F'ing LIBF-CK JACKA$$ that SCHMUCK is!!!!!
I was in county with one and supervised many others on their way out. The AF may be more stringent about this than other branches (just as they're easier on DUIs).
By the way- I wonder what interesting legal battles will be fought by those legally using marijuana in Commiefornia?
