I guess I’m not voting for Hunter anymore.
Not voting for him but maybe party with the guy if vibes are right
I’m voting for him 15 times this election
Typical democrat.
You must be dead.
I admit I was on the fence. Now definitely not. Couldn’t in all good conscience vote for a convicted criminal.
Yeah I don’t want to be a hypocrite like some so called americans. He is not even a possibility for me now and I might even vote for his opponent to show how much my morals and religion mean to me.
So what’s the typical sentence?
I’ve read a few opinions, and they appear to agree that since he’s a rehabilitated first time offender, he might not go to prison, but a 1-2 year sentence is possible.
Under federal sentencing guideline recommendations, he could be sentenced to over a year in prison
Are you telling me that a white rich person was convicted of a gun crime, in America?
Ironically if he wasnt a rich white guy, then he would have either gotten away with it entirely, or would have got a misdemeanour plea deal.
Literally the only reason this became a felony conviction is because his name is Biden.
Exactly, it’s sad.
No. It’s what should happen. Because then us rich white people can get our heads around the fact that these laws are fucking barbaric.
I don’t give a fuck about any Biden beyond my firm-but-disheartening vote for Joe, but this particular law is bullshit. That question ought to be removed from the federal form.
What upsets me is that it’s pretty much never actually enforced except as an add-on for violent criminals.
I used to sell guns, and people would attempt to illegally buy guns from my store all the time and the Feds didn’t do shit. I had convicted felons on camera outside the store giving cash to people to go buy guns for them, and law enforcement didn’t care.
But THIS they’ll prosecute.
Well it’s official.
I will not be voting for Hunter Biden in November.
Sucks to be him. His name short wires every Republican’s brain into a frenzy, otherwise they’d probably be in full support of him for 2A rights. Very consistent party!
Wonder how Don Jr and his daddy filled out their paper work?
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.
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.
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.
My sister was the victim of public enemy #1 in my state. She survived but there’s cyber stalking laws now because of her. Biden as a Senator sponsored her to speak to Congress. She’s the recipient of the Jefferson Award.
My sister doesn’t like his politics, she probably didn’t vote for him. But there’s no question that Joe Biden is a good person. He is
I think he’s a good person, but I agree with your sister and don’t like his politics.
I will most definitely be voting for him and anyone else who isn’t a Republican for the rest of my life, though.

I wish I had more years on this earth just so I could vote not Republican for longer than I’m going to be able to!
Ideally, there either won’t be any more Republican candidates to not vote for or they’ll somehow salvage themselves as a legitimate political party, but I doubt either of these things will happen in my lifetime.
I believe they can reform themselves, but like you I know I’ll be dead of old age before they possibly could.
Theyd have to stop being giant pussies and slightly less dumbass so yeah your lifetime probably not

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.
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.
It was clearly used as a political tool in this case.
I don’t really get this take. I’ve seen the same people wanting stricter gun control and also saying this is a dumb law. Most responsible gun owners who are pro gun rights would agree that we don’t want drug addicts to have guns. Why isn’t this something people can all agree on? Admittedly, this is hypocritical as hell because police don’t bother to follow up on felons who own guns, and even infrequent marijuana use prohibits people from purchasing firearms. But, it’s just good sense for someone who is addicted to crack to not own guns.
Even with the details of this case, my understanding is that it all started because he was on drugs, and didn’t have his gun safely stored and his then girlfriend, also a drug user, took it and threw it in a trash can in a public place, which is an excellent reason not to let drug users have guns.
Drug addicts need to defend themselves too! /s
“Drugs” are a pretty broad category of thing, it’s unlikely that you’re ever going to get an honest answer out of anyone, and it’s even more unlikely that anyone using illegal drugs who wants a gun is going to not buy a gun because of this. It’s just more war on drugs bullshit.
I’ll also add that if people were actually worried about the competency of people buying guns to own guns, then it would make far more sense to put the burden of proof on the person buying to prove their competency. But that’s not what this law is really about.
Whoop de fucking doo.
Since this was never actually newsworthy, can he go away now?
Good
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.
Ah yes, they finally caught the Biden Crime Family, surely they will be forced to yield to the all powerful might of the very strong and handsome Trump. He’s a shoe in to win the election now, no Russian or Chinese meddling or rioting to overturn the results needed!
Side question: Should’t it also be illegal for Hallie Biden to dispose of an illegal firearm by putting it in a trash can outside a grocery store for a random person to find? That seems like a very irresponsible way to handle a firearm and evidence.

It likely IS illegal to do so but she’ll never be prosecuted for it.
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.
Well, since nominating convicted felons is in vogue now, Hunter Biden 2028?
Only 3 felony charges. Those are rookie numbers.
