9/11/22 update - The G26 XXXL Glong by Chairmanwon has been added to a new remix folder.
The Glong is a statement piece first and foremost. It is a statement to the testament of the DIY small arms production community known as FOSSCAD and the continuing dedication to make the means of small arms production available to the masses. The Glong is also a statement on the current legality of controlled substances, foremost that of marijuana.
According to the 2020 census, over 145,000,000 American citizens (or greater than 44%) live in a state where marijuana has been legalized. Marijuana is less physiologically dangerous than alcohol or meth. Marijuana has been used safely for thousands of years by billions of people. Yet, according to the federal government, this plant is illegal and has no medicinal value – therefore more dangerous than fentanyl, dilaudid, hydrocodone, or codeine.
Because of marijuana’s legal status, the ATF says that possession and/or recreational or medicinal use of this plant is grounds to deny a potential firearm transferee while undergoing a mandatory background check. You read that right, if you own a medicinal marijuana card, you are breaking the law by using this plant and owning a firearm.
The fact that we most often call this plant “marijuana” and not cannabis (or MARIHUANA as it is written in federal documents) is a testament to the racist and xenophobic history of prohibition. In 2016 there were almost 600,000 arrests related to cannabis, and black people were arrested almost 4x the rate of white people. Once you factor in the felony charges, the result of marijuana prohibition is the continued disarming of black and brown people – a foundation of all gun control measures.
