NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — The mother of the 6-year-old shooter at Richneck Elementary School pleaded guilty Monday to federal gun and marijuana charges.
Deja Nicole Taylor, whose son shot 25-year-old Abby Zwerner in her first-grade classroom on Jan. 6, pleaded guilty in Newport News federal court to a felony charge of having a firearm while also possessing marijuana — a drug that’s still illegal at the federal level.
Taylor, 25, also pleaded guilty to a felony charge of lying on a federal background check form when she bought the gun, saying she wasn’t a weed user when she really was. Being a marijuana user remains a bar to purchasing a gun under federal law.

Yet Hunter gets to live in the White House and fly on AF1. What a country.
So, you lose your Constitutional Rights when you smoke an herb God provides? Doesn’t seem right.
Wonder if her kid is screwed up because she smoked the reefer while she was pregnant.
***lying on a federal background check form when she bought the gun, ***
I had a great link on Biden telling the NRA that they did not have time to prosecute false info on federal gun forms.
Now that link leads to Page 404. Not found. Someone is scrubbing info off the internet.
You can be a falling down drunk and purchase a fire arm. You can also consume alcohol while carrying said fire arm. I'm surely not the only one to notice that some people turn in to complete AH's when consuming alcohol but they are still allowed to own and carry.
Your most fundamental right as an adult is the freedom to go where you want, when you want, without having your movements restricted or controlled. The state takes that right from you if you are incarcerated for any criminal offense.
Back in 1942 in the case of Wickard v. Filburn, the Supreme Court held that the federal government could make it illegal for a farmer to grow wheat to feed his own livestock (and not to sell). So, you could be incarcerated and/or have your property confiscated by the federal government just for growing wheat or anything else.
Back in 2005, I was hopeful that a majority of the Supreme Court would use Gonzales v. Raich to overturn Wickard v. Filburn, but instead they doubled down on it.
my first thought also.
This woman gets the book thrown at her.
But Hunter gets away with the same.
Good grief this is infuriating.
Can not drink and carry in Oklahoma.
“So, you lose your Constitutional Rights when you smoke an herb God provides? Doesn’t seem right.”
Please don’t trigger the FR drug warriors.
LOL, sure you can.
Not sure why folks are upset at this. This stupid bitch was so lax with her loaded gun her 6 year old shot someone at school with it. Charge her with anything you can think of. Unfortunately, there isn’t a specific law against being an idiot, moron mother.
Probably.
I agree she should be charged with recklessness, but an african american woman who gets charged with lying over marijuana on a gun background check, while a democrat president's son who lied on his background check on crack use gets off scot free.
Is that not a double standard?
You just can’t be intoxicated and carrying a firearm.
I'm not upset with it. She should be charged to the fullest extent. The piling on of charges for MJ is nonsense. As others pointed out, Hunter the crackhead isn't charged with anything. Beyond that, to single out MJ like this is absurd on its face. Have you ever known a mean drunk? I've known many and have actually talked several in off the cliffs edge. I have NEVER known a mean pothead, unless it was in the presence of other drugs. Mean drunks can still purchase fire arms and carry. Maybe not legally carry in every jurisdiction but nothing beyond that stops them. Being a drunk doesn't stop you from purchase either. With MJ it's just the Readers Digest version of Reefer Madness.
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
I fail to see the MJ connection.
“...saying she wasn’t a weed user when she really was....”
Odd, I’ve never been asked that question on a 4473.
Looking forward to being axed my pronouns, though.
Question 21(g) on the current 4473 form asks:
"Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?
Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside."
There has been some variation of that question on the form for as long as I can remember.
I get your point...but it’s never asked me if I was a “weed user”. I guess that could change the next time the Feds revise the form to include the 47 pronoun choices now available. Thank goodness caffeine isn’t included in the addiction question. LOL
