Is Hilary one of them?

Possession by a convicted felon while trafficking/selling drugs. If it's non violent why carry a firearm?

Yeah because it's ILLEGAL to posses a firearm when you've been convicted of a felony, that includes having one at home etc. It's not like it's a secret these people knew what they were doing was illegal.......

As I posted already, possession doesn't have to mean you're carrying it. It means you have one. If they raid your house and find a gun and you have a drug charge, you get possession. Even if it's locked in a safe. Even if you weren't a convicted felon. That means you can go from legally owning a gun to getting a possession charge just because of the drugs.

The convicted felon having a gun is a perfectly fine charge. The ones where they weren't a felon and still get charged are a load of crap.

So what is the charge if you sold weed (which all but 2 or 3 cases actually were, rest were crack dope coke and meth) with a gun at home being a lawful owner in good standing at the time with no criminal history?

Right here:

uses or carries a firearm, or who, in furtherance of any such crime, possesses a firearm, shall, in addition to the punishment provided for such crime of violence or drug trafficking crime—

Note the difference between "possesses" and the previous "uses or carries".

Is Hilary one of them?

No, because she hasn't been found by a court to have done anything wrong. You are thinking of Donald Trump.

The sooner Barry O is gone the better.

Just highlighted this because it's very important context.

There were 2 or 3 in for marijuana the rest were cocaine, crack and meth while possessing a firearm also the third time for such an offense. Also manslaughter and fake currency. So what about that context?

Mind you the majority were repeat offenders so that whole lawful gun owner argument kind of goes out the window here.
