How are Republicans overplaying this? He’s being prosecuted by Joe Biden’s own DOJ.

I guess you never watch Fox News???

Why would I watch Fox News?

The situation here is straight forward. He declared that he wasn’t abusing drugs when he purchased the gun. He later wrote in his book that he was a drug addict at that time. So the facts are not in dispute. Biden’s attorney claims that the declaration isn’t factual but about state of mind and although he was a drug addict, he was in denial at the time and therefore it wasn’t a false declaration according to what Biden believed to be true. It’s a bad legal argument and if he is not convicted following Trump’s conviction it could be very bad and dangerous for our country.

If he’s guilty he’s guilty but Republicans playing it up are definitely clueless about how many Americans can relate to stories of addiction. And seeing a father and mother not give up on their wayward son. Republicans are ridiculous for thinking they can make that a negative thing.

Most families have a “black sheep”. Many families have a loved one who struggles with addiction.

Only MAGA think a Hunter conviction will hurt President Biden. It won’t. If anything it helps Joe. It shows once again that he is a caring man and father. Juxtapose this with Trump, a horrible, cruel man.

I’ll take having a calm, steady and caring leader over an erratic, narcissist who whines that he’s a victim.

No, most families don't have a black sheep. Families who has done something wrong in their lives, paying up to the seventh generation for their wrongdoings.

I pray for any loved one you may have that struggles with addiction.

I think this case is awesome. Typically, prosecutors don’t pursue self reported addiction issues on gun purchases. This opens the door for prosecutors to go after anyone that has misused prescription drugs or drinks too much. As someone interested in gun control, I hope they throw the book at Hunter Biden. It opens the door for so many gun confiscations

This crime is no different than what Marilyn Mosby or Trump were prosecuted for, false declarations.

No one disputes that he claimed to not abuse drugs on the form. No one disputes that his book proves that this was a false declaration. The fact that his book is about his struggles with addiction irrelevant.

You are delusional. Trump didn’t just lie on a form. He committed election fraud and tax fraud.

No one gets prison for lying on this form. It’s ridiculous how Republicans get away with intimidating prosecutors and courts all while crying that they are the ones being persecuted.

It will hurt Biden more if he’s not convicted than if he is.

Which is really F-ed up. If a jury of 12 everyday Americans thinks the prosecution didn’t make a case they should find Hunter guilty. But MAGA demand a guilty verdict. Then comes to sentencing if the judge doesn’t give Hunter, the maximum sentence then MAGA and RW media scream it fixed.

Basically what you’re saying is that it’s impossible for Hunter to get a fair trial.

Not really. Hunter is guilty.

You are delusional. Trump didn’t just lie on a form. He committed election fraud and tax fraud.

What is tax fraud? He misrepresented his business costs on tax forms.

He disguised a reimbursement to his coconspirator for hush money that had been paid to benefit his campaign as a tax deductible expense for legal services. That’s business fraud to commit tax fraud and campaign finance fraud.

I don’t know what the penalties are nor what is typically meted out but it is a crime. And if you care about gun control this really needs to be vigorously enforced.

Exactly. And Hunter Biden misrepresented his drug use on a legal form in order to purchase a gun that he would not otherwise have been legally allowed to purchase.

Well the gun shop made changes to the form later. The prosecution managed get that suppressed so the jury isn’t getting a full account.

Were the changes to the form relevant to the part about drug use?

I’m so excited that we’re now going to go after every addict with a gun. Finally a dent in the gun problem. Alcoholism counts, gun nuts.

IKR? I wonder if there are any Republicans who didn't fess up to their drug use or addiction when applying for a license for their gun(s). What do you think?

[Anonymous]

Republicans, would you support mandatory drug testing before a gun purchase? And periodic drug testing for gun owners? I think that’s a great idea!
