In reply to the discussion: Now That DOJ Is Running Fact Checks On Gun Applications [View all]gab13by13
(32,377 posts)I was given a similar case to prove that someone else was indicted for owning a gun while being an addict, USA v Daniels.
Patrick Daniels was stopped by cops for not having a license plate. The cops found marijuana butts, could smell marijuana, and 2 loaded firearms in the car. The cops did not do a drug test on Daniels. Daniels admitted he used marijuana several times a month. Daniels was indicted under Title 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922(g)(3) which states a person is banned from owning a gun if he is an unlawful user of a controlled substance. The best I can tell Daniels was indicted and convicted and sentenced to 4 years in jail for that 1 count.
DOJ investigated Hunter Biden to determine he lied on his gun application. DOJ then charged Hunter for 3 fucking counts:
1. Lying on the application
2. Giving that application to a gun shop owner.
3. Owning the firearm
25 year sentence. (maximum)
Hunter Biden owned his never loaded firearm for 11 days before his girlfriend threw it away.
1 charge for Patrick Daniels who appeared to be under the influence while driving, marijuana in the car, a loaded 9 MM pistol and loaded rifle in the car. With all of that information about Daniels the 5th circuit court of appeals threw out the indictment and conviction of Daniels.
It sure looks to me that Merrick Garland's DOJ is treating Hunter Biden much more severely than Patrick Daniels was treated.
It appears to me that Garland is being partisan because this all happened because Republicans raised hell after finding out about the plea deal so Garland washed his hands and made Weiss a Special Counsel.
Was Hunter Biden treated fairly by Garland's DOJ?
