      The NRA is pretty low on the list of organizations that would have tried to push the issue if this involved someone not named Hunter Biden. They’re very much a culture war outlet that won’t go to bat for anyone they consider an undesirable.

      There are other advocacy groups that have been talking about this issue for a number of years, though. And there have been lower court rulings this year that make whether that provision of Form 4473 is going to be able to withstand scrutiny questionable.

      Like I said, where these gun rights groups land on this case is going to be pretty telling about where they stand generally. The culture warriors will come up with excuses. It should be an interesting barometer for whether these groups actually believe in universal application of what they consider rights.
