I actually don't have very strong feelings about gun control (like, it might help prevent some mass shootings and gun violence, but it's a really imperfect tool that relies way too much on cops not being bigoted assholes who enforce things selectively), but the notion that lying about your food stamp eligibility constitutes a "serious crime" is outrageous

Agree. Any violent crime would be another story and the decision wouldn't have been reversed.
