1. Fascists attempting to be outraged

about gun law violations should be amusing.

[PCIntern]

2. When you pry my cold dead hands....

Right?

[maxsolomon]

3. ATF form 4473 question G

I'd wager 50% of firearm buyers lie on that question. If you smoke weed, you don't qualify to buy a gun.

Looking forward to the mass prosecutions...

[drray23]

11. I am pretty sure this recently was ruled unconstitutional

by an appeals court.

[maxsolomon]

13. yes, but that wasn't in the same circuit.

so it doesn't stop this indictment.

it may get tossed the second it's in front of a judge. i presume h. biden's lawyers will be pointing that out immediately. i would.

[FBaggins]

24. And it may be a stretch to apply it to this set of facts

That ruling related to prior marijuana use. Not then-current use of heroin. At least one of the three charges appears (to me) to be clear of this defense even if it were in the 5th.

27. I predict no jury in California will find Hunter guilty of anything.

[Johnny2X2X]

31. Delaware

It’s in Delaware. But same deal.

[MichMan]

33. Weiss previously said the charges were being dropped and they were going to be refiled in Cal.

I guess it changed back now that he is named as a Special Counsel?

[tritsofme]

4. So he's as guilty as every gun owner in America who ever walked into a dispensary

or smoked a doob?

Quelle horreur!

[magicarpet]

5. TrDump will rush to Hunter's defense,...

,.... to protect and defend his Second Amendment gun rights. TrDump constantly screams about the Right to Bear Arms at his Nazi Rallies and on social media.

[gab13by13]

6. Why did we need a special counsel for this?

[woodsprite]

7. 'Cause Weiss wanted the title. nt

[gab13by13]

9. So is this all the SC came up with?

Didn't we know about this years ago? How long will Weiss keep the title, until after a trial or plea?

[former9thward]

16. He is not finished.

The tax charges will come next.

[triron]

8. DOJ needs to make the MAGAs happy too.

[drray23]

10. these won't stick.

it was recently ruled by an appeals court that the type of offenses he is charged with are not constitutional.

[gab13by13]

12. I see this is being challenged in the courts.

The federal gun charge, which makes it unlawful for a drug addict to possess a weapon, is a rarely used statute that is facing legal challenges and has recently been used as a catch-all charge against white supremacists.

[onenote]

32. The government will strongly defend the use of the statute v. Hunter

Keep in mind that in the 5th Circuit case, it was the government that was seeking to apply the law and the government is currently considering whether to file for rehearing of that case. They can't walk away from this prosecution based on the fifth circuit decision.

[former9thward]

18. That appeals court does not cover Delaware.

So it has no affect. Only as what another court has said when the defense is making their argument.

[drray23]

22. yes but it's likely the Biden defense team will challenge it

and cite that other case as a precedent even thought it's a different district. We shall see if this is successful again here or not in front of this jurisdiction.

[Quakerfriend]

14. And, on every channel is BIG news 😳

Hunter shown with Joe in every picture….
Gotta paste it on Joe.

[Iggo]

15. Gunfuckers: Why don't we enforce the laws we already have?

Feds: Mr Biden, you’re under arrest.
Gunfuckers: Hey there, ho there, now wait just a durned minnit.

FOR THE RECORD: I like it when people who aren’t supposed to have guns get in trouble for having guns.

[Recycle_Guru]

19. I doubt it

there are no gun lovers going crazy to defend Hunter. They are all hypocrites.

[Iggo]

21. You sure about that?

[Recycle_Guru]

23. yes. I've owned guns hunted, etc as a youth; guns are a ridiculous luxury we can't afford

BOTH Australia and New Zealand are now poster children for how you effectively deal with out of control tun violence.

I vomit in the face of every person who thinks their desire for guns trumps my child's safety

[Iggo]

28. I mean...it's not like we're the only ones here.

[Recycle_Guru]

29. not sure your point

[Iggo]

35. It'll come to you.

In the meantime, have a wonderful afternoon!

36. Some Democrats own guns.

A number of gun-owning Democrats are defending Hunter.

[Johonny]

17. Without a positive drug test at the time in question

Can they prove this beyond reasonable doubt?

[former9thward]

20. Hunter said so in his book.

So unless he says he was lying in a book he wrote then its pretty easy to prove. Plus he may have made incriminating statements to the feds already about it.

[womanofthehills]

37. Judge Maryellen Noreila asked Hunter if he was still doing drugs & he said yes

She asked him how many times he had been in rehab and I don’t remember exactly what he said but it was around 20. Also, he videotaped himself doing drugs and took photos with his gun. Not good choices when people can hack others so easily now.

I don’t know why his lawyers didn’t insist Hunter be in a rehab program before he went to court. The judge was pissed beforehand anyway because someone from Hunters lawyers firm tried to influence a clerk.

Anyway, many people I know who smoke pot own guns but being addicted to hard drugs is another level. I know, I have a grandson doing fentanyl and we worry every day if he’s still alive each morning.

[wiggs]

25. How many magats own guns and are alcoholics? nt

[LiberalFighter]

26. After reviewing the form there need to be more in the miltary

that should be dishonorably discharged. They don't get to possess firearms.

[DJ Porkchop]

30. Good! Now they don't have to impeach him.

/sarcasm off

[NowISeetheLight]

34. New Rule?

Maybe the RepubQcans would support mandatory drug testing for all gun buyers... after all it would stop hardened crime family people from buying guns?

[Emile]

38. The great Republican gun grab begins.
