It’s one thing to find within ourselves a well of empathy and try and put ourselves in their places. It’s fine to hope that someone who has fallen into the depths of addiction will be able to claw her way out into the light, and stay there for the rest of her life.
But when someone lies on a form to buy a gun, we don’t get to smile mournfully and nod our heads as we hear about his “struggle.”
We shouldn’t excuse his act, which brings him so close — a bullet away — from shattering someone’s life because he “didn’t think” he was an addict.
He does not deserve the benefit of the doubt when he clearly committed a felony, simply because his dad and mom love him. And we certainly shouldn’t give him a pass because that dad and mom live in the White House, and he isn’t like one of those normal “addicts” who wander aimlessly on the streets of Kensington. …
And no, the crimes were not the fact that he was an addict, and might in fact still be one. The crimes are not that he is the pampered fair-haired boy of the current president.
The crimes are not that he’s a Democrat, a mediocre businessman with a penchant for dropping daddy’s name, a deadbeat dad with absolutely no redeeming qualities, or a man who slept with his brother’s widow.
The crime is simple, and I’m sure those who support gun control can agree:
Hunter Biden tried to get a gun in violation of laws that protect the public against people like him.
If any of the folks who think the Second Amendment is fake or fungible, and who want to ban assault rifles and do all sorts of things to keep guns out of people’s hands have the audacity to excuse what Biden did, we should point fingers at these rank hypocrites.
And speaking of hypocrites, let’s go after lawyers who were gleefully rejoicing over a document fraud misdemeanor case against a former president but who now sniff that Hunter’s felonies are no big deal.
In the end, Hunter Biden is not important. …
He’s what CNN is so delighted to call Trump: a convicted felon.

Yep. Point fingers at hypocrites. I agree with your sentiment. And while we’re pointing we can point some fingers at republicans. I’m not going to explain because you know of what I speak. Biden broke the law and is now a felon. Send him to Leavenworth. He can share a cell with another recently convicted felon named trump
Neither he nor Trump will see the inside of a cell, both are first-time criminal offenders. Focus your hatred somewhere else, ‘missy’… 🙁
Slow Joe had no choice but to let the trial take place and watch his son be convicted. He is just playing the game he has to play in order to maintain credibility with the mental midgets in the anti-gun crowd before the election.
Hell, it’s not like there is even the slightest chance Hunter Biden will ever spend a single day in prison. Regardless of the election outcome…you can bet the farm daddy will pardon him sometime between November 6th, 2024 and January 20th, 2025.

This will be twisted into a + + for Joe Biden and Hunter will be fined at worst.
This entire case has nothing to do with the right to own a firearm and everything to do with lying on a federal document. Which is considered perjury. Whether you agree with the need for the document is irrelevant to the crime. Even the jury understood that.
false. the form infringes on the right to bear arms. it is absolutely a second amendment issue.
it certainly will be a huge second amendment issue on appeal and when the court of appeal overturns the conviction on grounds that the underlying law is not constitutional.
“Countless lives are destroyed every year under the federal government’s unconstitutional and immoral regulations. We proudly work to eliminate these laws and create a free world. Just as we have in many other cases, we stand ready to assist Mr. Biden in his challenge of federal gun laws,” said Firearm Policy Coalition President Brandon Combs
