2. it is called consistency

and it is related. Going to prison simply for having a pistol, bag of pot, eagle feather, or some other victimless crime falls under the same concept.
It isn't the gun, it is the larger issue. The gun is part of the larger issue. It isn't about gun control per se, but putting the screws to Ms. Allen for a technical violation while letting Ray Rice slide for a violent assault is unjust. It doesn't matter if Allen had a pistol, a joint, or eagle feather. Doesn't matter. Justice is justice, double standards and ideology need not apply. It is honest and consistent and not seeing that is cognitive dissonance.
