“Last month, Biden was charged with possession of a firearm by a person who is a known drug user, a felony. He had a Colt Cobra .38 Special for 11 days in October 2018. He agreed to enter into a diversion agreement, which means that he would not technically plead guilty to the crime. As long as he adhered to the terms of his agreement, the case would be wiped from his record. If not, the deal would be withdrawn. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.” You are telling me drug users who are found in possession of a gun aren’t often charged? |
| Where is the outrage about this 'Trump appointed AG' and why hasn't the text of the plea been released. |

My dear turnip, do you know what a fact pattern is? |
|
97.6% of felon in possession of a firearm offenders were sentenced to prison; sentences varied widely by whether a mandatory minimum penalty applied in the case.
• 14.8% of felon in possession of a firearm offenders were convicted of one or more statutes with a mandatory minimum penalty: 4.3% were sentenced under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA) (18 U.S.C. § 924(e));1 5.0% were convicted of violating 18 U.S.C. § 924(c); 5.4% were convicted of another statute carrying a mandatory minimum penalty, most of which were drug offenses. https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/research-and-publications/quick-facts/Felon_In_Possession_FY18.pdf |
Okay, dear. Now do the relevant fact pattern. What does any of this have to do with Hunter Biden? Answer: Nothing. |
| Clear to me that Weiss is doing Garlands bidding and its backfiring. |
I would say it's the other way around. He's trying to do his job and trying to pacify politicians (do their bidding) and it's backfiring. |
Almost 97% of felons/drug addicts who lie to buy a gun serve jail time? |
He’s not a felon in possession so that’s irrelevant. |
Lol ATF Form 4473 is checked against National Crime Information Center. It does not check for drug use. It looks at arrest record. Maybe 1% are prosecuted under this law and no one is prosecuted for lying about using drugs. If Biden was not the the son of a democratic president this would never have been charged. In a trial look for the gun charges to be thrown out by the judge. Just a note. If Biden is charge for “lying” on his 4473 any gun owner who drank a beer in a dry county can and should be prosecuted. |
No he is just trying to stay employed. No one is this incompetent. |
The system check does not check for that. |
+1 The "GOP Lawyer" meddling last week and the House "investigations" are doing more damage to convicting Hunter than anything related to Weiss. |
