Why wasn’t the NRA fighting for his second Ammendment rights?
Appeal to the Supreme Court and let them overturn the conviction on the History and Tradition grounds that there’s no historical precedent from infringing on the gun rights of people on crack. 5th Circuit already ruled on this matter and acquitted the defendant on similar grounds, in the case USA v. Daniels.
The supreme court is ready to drop everything and confirm the lower court’s ruling
I hope so
Just another example of Joe Biden weaponizing the Department of Justice! …oh wait.
In all seriousness, most people could see this result coming from a mile away. The prosecution had a solid case against him. I expect the justice system to hold everyone accountable for their actions, regardless of who they are. Republicans expecting us to do backflips to defend Hunter Biden as some sort of “gotcha” are completely out of their gourd. He earned this conviction through his own deeds, just like how Trump earned his.
They don’t understand that we don’t worship Biden like they do Trump. Hell, most of us don’t even like him that much.
It’s kind of a shitty law in the first place, but he was assuredly guilty of it. It’s still unusual that they went after him for it when it wasn’t connected to any other crime (which is usually when federal prosecutors use this law) and really unusual that the judge threw out the plea bargain.

Look at all the tears I’m crying because of my blind loyalty to the Biden family! Ah wait, actually I figure if he did those things then justice was served. Sorry magas.
So far a fair number have actually come out against the verdict, including Lindsay Graham… which makes me think there are a number of Republican legislators who own guns and enjoy partaking in a little nose candy from time to time, as well.
I guess I’m not voting for Hunter anymore.
I admit I was on the fence. Now definitely not. Couldn’t in all good conscience vote for a convicted criminal.
I’m voting for him 15 times this election
Typical democrat.
You must be dead.
Well it’s official.
I will not be voting for Hunter Biden in November.
Surely now the NRA will come out and protest this flagrant violation of Hunter Biden’s second amendment rights!
There is a strong argument on constitutional grounds here, it’s why it’s almost never charged.
You can drink and buy a gun.
Do a little crack?
(Okay, a lot of crack)
As long as you don’t smoke crack or drink with the gun, it’s okay by me.
Look, my gun likes to have fun. He’s not loaded so we can’t get too out of control. Plus we don’t want to relive the lampshade incident.
Always practice safe sex folks.
I know multiple people, several of them fine upstanding Republicans that have violated this same law by lying on this same form. Hell, one of them has done it repeatedly in order to straw purchase firearms for his son, a convicted felon.
Well, since nominating convicted felons is in vogue now, Hunter Biden 2028?
Clearly Biden rigged this to politically damage Biden
If I cared about this guy, or he was important in anyway, I’d feel something probably.
That this is even news is just odd.
I guess I’d take note if Trump’s kids or Kushner were convicted, but then they were in and out of the White House far more frequently than Hunter. Nepotism ran rampant.
GOP is trying really hard to push the “crime family” narrative.
Wonder if this opens the gate for cops on steroids to be charged?
I’m genuinely confused as to why I’m supposed to care? Yay, good for you, conservatives! They got trump, so YOU got Hunter Biden! Wow, good job! Anyway…
This wasn’t political as much as Fox News might want it to be.
Actually it kind of was.
This is what they could dig up on the Biden’s after giving a special prosecutor near-carte-blanch to look for dirt on President Biden (and the rest of his family.) this, and the tax stuff.
Even then, they would have had a plea deal, which was more inline with normal sentencing and shit, except that, it wasn’t “enough” so the prosecution decided to fuck around.
As for the tax stuff also being brought in California… that’s been settled by the IRS and still being prosecuted all the same. Because politics.
Welp, I’m convinced. I certainly won’t be settling for only the FATHER of a felon. I’m going to get the REAL THING.
Wonder how Don Jr and his daddy filled out their paper work?
