It looks like Hunter Biden has cut a deal with the Justice Department to to the various charges against him without doing any jail time.

And that has incensed a lot of people 鈥� including the Bellevue-based Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

More from Dave聽Ross: Ancient Roman garbage is valuable, why isn’t mine?

Because as part of that plea deal, Hunter Biden will not be prosecuted for his purchase of a handgun in 2018 when he was getting high on crack. According to the charges, Biden had the handgun for 11 days in October 2018. But under the agreement, instead of being prosecuted as a felon, all he has to do is remain drug-free for 24 months and agree never to own a firearm again.

That鈥檚 it.

Alan Gottlieb, head of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, called that deal 鈥渁n insult to the intelligence of the American people.鈥�

鈥淲hy should anybody respect any gun laws if the president鈥檚 son gets a pass?鈥� he said.

And that is significant.

Because if Gottlieb, the man who founded the Second Amendment Foundation, says the Second Amendment does not protect a drug user鈥檚 right to keep and bear arms and that such people should be considered felons 鈥� no exceptions 鈥� then you can take that to the Supreme Court.

Because who disagrees with that? The Second Amendment absolutely should not protect people whose judgment is impaired by drug use. And in my opinion, that should include all the judgment-impairing drugs.

Suits: Hunter Biden is getting special treatment in plea deal

That鈥檚 why many states, including Washington, prohibit carrying a firearm where liquor is served. Even with a concealed weapons permit.

So, what’s Congress waiting for? Impose mandatory jail time for any user of intoxicating substances who buys or possesses a firearm, even if he only has the gun for 11 days. And, at the very least, like Biden, upon conviction– he is disarmed for life.

If the founder of the Second Amendment Foundation is serious and the Second Amendment doesn鈥檛 protect what Hunter Biden did, that鈥檚 a big green light.

Pass the law, close the Biden gun crime loophole, and let the disarmament begin 鈥� before any more impaired gun owners get the idea that the Second Amendment applies to them.
