DOJ are you listening? These are the same charges Hunter is being indicted for
Hunter is most likely going to walk for good reason. What he was charged with are unconditional laws. If he walks, so will Trump. And that’s assuming you can pin Trump with unlawful use first.
DOJ knows they are getting crushed with Hunter. Even 2A orgs offered legal help to him. They know the laws can’t be upheld by an honest judge. So why hit Trump with the same charges that they’re losing their shit over with Hunter?
No, it isn’t. Hunter is being charged with lying about drug use on a gun form. This would be Trump buying a gun with active indictments against him.
Nah
While Trump remains the frontrunner in the GOP race for the White House, he has also been indicted in four criminal cases this year, and therefore cannot purchase a gun under the law.

Many would argue that he can’t run for president either.

Because stopping him from running would require a constitutional amendment of some sort, OR he be disqualified under the 14th.
A federal judge in texas ruled last year that preventing people under indictment from purchasing firearms was unconstitutional based on the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision, just FYI. So I don’t think the situation is as cut and dry as it would have been just a couple years ago.
I don’t really think it’s super worthwhile to spend a bunch of time discussing if and should about those cases here. The larger point is that he apparently tried to lie about his gun cred by pretending to buy a gun. And that of he had, he would have been committing the same crime they got Hunter with.
In other news, Bruen is terrible.

TIL…well good to know if I ever become indicted & feel the need to purchase a gun, which I’ve never done before.
Is he shopping for his final firearm? You know, the pistol that stops him from being taken to jail?
Trump would flee to Russia before he would off himself
Then start a grift to convince true patriots to move there with him.
I’d be okay with this.
What can we, as normal American citizens, be doing to encourage this MAGA migration?
trump brand vodka? Honestly, I’m just wanting them to get Russian citizenship (which requires them denouncing and revoking their US citizenship… which means… they no longer get to vote here…)
With any luck it’ll be a Secret Service persons duty pistol.

The one that will be found in the bunker with Eva Braun?
So a spokesman posts on Twitter that he bought a gun and then someone has to delete the post and say it is not true? Sounds like amateur hour for his campaign but I thought he only hired the “best and brightest”.
I thought he only hired the “best and brightest”.
“they’re not sending their best”
“And some, I assume, are good people”
There’s more evidence that Trump makes bad hiring decisions than there’s evidence for gravity.

Trump will never stop committing crimes
Wait, I’m still catching up. Why would it have been illegal?
He doesn’t live in that state.
This is the reason.
He’s been indicted on felony charges, felons can’t own guns.
He’s not a felon (yet). Does that law apply to indictments?
Edit: No, it doesn’t:

People spend money on this abomination
The law only applies to brown people under indictment who want to purchase firearms, not
whiteorange ones.I can’t wait til he snorts a ton of coke he’s next debate so any one that’s ever done the drug can pretend he was totally sober, again.
He really wants to make sure nobody breaks his record as most indicted president of all time I guess…
