Joe Biden's son will go to trial for federal gun crimes in June

[JGalt]

According to who?

Well apparently according to the left, the progressives, the liberals, and the Democrats. You people are always the ones crying for more gun laws, but then you defended Hunter Biden when he committed a gun crime.

Why has it even taken this long for him to be charged and tried?

 

[Coyote]

Then you support prosecuting Joe Biden's son for federal gun crimes?

Sure, it is against the law, but it is a pretty mild charge.

You do oppose prosecuting him right?

 

[Billiejeens]

For which person?

The one that you name right there at the end.

A federal felony is a "mild charge"? Do you feel the same way about the January 6th protesters?

As I predicted, attorneys for Joe Biden's son tried to use the Second Amendment to argue that federal background checks are unconstitutional! Hahahahahahaha!

great article: the legal basis of the prosecution was under constitutional challenge? Uhm like most of Trump's alleged crimes are? Yet you people believe a constitutional challenge alone makes Trump look innocent. When courts reject Trump's challenges, will you...? never mind. we all know what you are like

"On the face of it, Hunter Biden appears at risk of being sentenced to as long as 25 years in prison and $750,000 in fines if he is convicted on the three gun charges brought against him by federal prosecutors on Thursday.

In reality, few people fitting Mr. Biden’s profile — a first-time, nonviolent offender accused of lying on a federal firearms application, who never used the gun (in his case, a Colt Cobra .38 that he held onto for less than two weeks five years ago) to commit a crime — get serious prison time for the offenses charged in the indictment.

Just bringing the charges is out of the ordinary in some ways, former law enforcement officials say, and the legal basis of the prosecution is under constitutional challenge.

Here’s a rundown of the accusations against President Biden’s son and what makes the case unusual."

The Gun Charges Against Hunter Biden Are Unusual. Here’s Why.

The heart of the federal case against the president’s son — that he lied about drug use on a federal form when he purchased a handgun — is not typically the basis for a stand-alone prosecution.

No. Just as Mr. Trump, he doesn't.

You satisfied?

Bullshit. Right now there's a federal case against Donald Trump for classified documents he allegedly had in his possession. Joe Biden did the exact same thing, so why is he not under indictment?

Why be so generic? Oh! It makes it look equal to say lying to FBI in order to cover up more serious crimes.

Nope. Look at what Mr. Trump is being charged with. Then look at how President Biden handled similar situations.

go back to sleep

Hunter only made a false claim that he was not taking illicit drugs while in possession of a firearm which is a felony

It's not like he was paying off a whore to keep quiet about their consensual affair.

If he had done that, he would have been hung.

It's not like he was committing crimes in order to cover up election interference.

Who defended him for violating gun laws…other than his lawyers?

Why has it even taken this long for him to be charged and tried?

Easy. It is a very mild charge, not normally prosecuted unless the gun was used in commission of a crime. And, he is wealthy and connected. Kind of like Trump. I think the more serious issues are possible money laundering and tax evasion.

Do you feel that lying on a gun application, with no subsequent gun crimes, is as serious as legally obtaining a gun and gunning down a bunch of kids in an elementary school?

Both are federal felonies

 

[Coyote]

The one that you name right there at the end.

No clue. I don’t have access to all the information nor am I judge and jury.

Many left-wing members on here, claiming he was only "exercising his Second Amendment rights." There have been more than several threads on this, surely you know how to use the board's search function.

 

[Coyote]

marvin martian why aren’t you defending Hunter Biden?

 

[Billiejeens]

No clue. I don’t have access to all the information nor am I judge and jury.

Yet you have no doubt on the gun charge.

Of course.

That is a weird claim to make…what “many leftwingers” are claiming ”he is only exercising his second amendment rights”?

Why aren’t you defending it?

Both are federal felonies

Hunter did commit subsequent crimes. Possession of an illegally purchased gun, and illegal disposal of the gun in a trash can next to a school. "Minor", right?

 

[Coyote]

Yet you have no doubt on the gun charge.

Of course.

No doubt about about what? That it is a pretty minor charge? Another poster outlined that pretty well.

You, well, nothing.

 

[marvin martian]

marvin martian why aren’t you defending Hunter Biden?

Because I disagree with you that federal felonies are "minor" crimes.

 

[Coyote]

Then that needs to be addressed, right?

I’m still trying to figure out why you think this particular felony charge is as bad as the felonies committed by mass shooters.
