They are irrelevant to this thread and are harder to give evidence for than DWI
But again, none of these have any bearing on gun ownership. A person who would shoot someone while drunk would do it sober and that is a mental problem not a gun problem.
Are we done making mental problems into gun problems? Or will you not stop until every American citizen is disarmed?

Where are your studies and peer reviewed articles to back that up?
A drunk action is a sober thought.
Alcohol changes the behavior not the intentions

From what I've read that's not true, alcohol changes the brain in ways that change people's behaviour and emotions totally opposite from a sober state.

Drunk emotions will cause you to take action that sober you would not, even if it is in the back of your mind to do so.
Anyways back on topic.
Federally, alcohol is not classified as a depressant and therefore does not apply to the ATF form for purchasing a firearm, but marijuana and all other controlled substances and narcotics are covered.
If you think that needs to be changed feel free to take it up with the ATF and see how fast you get shot down. If alcohol is included on the form that would disqualify most, if not all, legal gun owners immediately.
But I guess making millions of felons overnight is a common theme with the ATF lately.

You say nobody cares when I still have yet to see anyone say that alcohol and firearms do not mix.
Nobody is saying that, ever
But you are trying to make felons overnight and take guns away from, otherwise law abiding, citizens. That's not okay

Again, nobody on here, and nobody I have ever met, says that guns and alcohol go together so you can climb on down form that high horse.
"psychotropic depressant" is not on the form, if so please find it and point it out to me.
Again, who is saying they go together?

Wrong
Drug Test: "A drug test is a technical analysis of a biological specimen, for example urine, hair, blood, sweat, or oral fluid/saliva"
None of that covers a breathalyzer, nice try though
Lets go over this again shall we for those that didn't care to read everything else.
Alcohol is not a controlled substance, the only "unlawful" users are under the age of 21, and it is not classified as a drug under the questionnaire.
Again, many medical professionals describe it as a psychotropic depressant, and that is in the questionnaire.

Once again since you seem to be missing it, and I will even put it in caps so you can read it a little better
WHO IN HERE IS SAYING THAT ALCOHOL AND GUNS GO TOGETHER?
Nobody?
Cool, glad we got that out of the way.
You know you can stop being a gun grabbing liberal anytime you want, right?

The law has already been found to be unconstitutional in the 5th Circuit.
I'd be happy to see hunters gun charge dropped if it meant dropping all of the unconstitutional anti gun laws the rest of us have to deal with.
Then we could go after him for all the fraud, money laundering, drugs, and pedophilia... but those would connect him to his party so we'll likely never see that

There is wide agreement that anti-corruption must be at the top of this list, and that reforms must include an overhaul of the Prosecutor General’s Office including removal of Prosecutor General Shokin, who is widely regarded as an obstacle to fighting corruption, if not a source of the problem.

That is from a State Department memo that was provided to Biden prior to his trip to Ukraine.
I know, it is quite clear.
However what happened was
Biden told Ukraine that if they did not fire the prosecutor that was investigating HIS SON
that they would not get foreign aid.
They fired the prosecutor
and Biden released the foreign aid.
He fought corruption by threatening the country for investigating his son and preparing to prosecute his son.
That is corruption, abuse of power, and extortion, perhaps treason for selling foreign aid to another nation for personal reasons.
The Ukrainian prosecutor was a bad one.
