Hunter Biden, the son of the president, is indicted on federal gun charges

Sweet. Now scour every other gun owner's publications and social media and if you find evidence of drug use ring them up on federal charges because apparently we're enforcing that shit on its own now. It's going to be interesting to have to visit all of my rural-ass relatives in a federal penitentiary.

Well I for one am glad this came out.

This cleared up any doubts I had in my mind when it came for voting for this guy for president. Yessiree, I absolutely am not gonna vote for Hunter Biden in 2024.

The NRA is going to leap to his defense, right?

Just like how they leapt to the defense of Philando Castile and Breonna Taylor.

Is going after gun owners who lied about their drug usage while purchasing their guns really the road Republicans want to go down? That is fine by me! Go get all that drug using gun owners Feds!

He is charged with lying about using drugs in order to buy a gun. Today I learned it is illegal in the USA to have a gun if you have ever used drugs. Alright police.... Go round up all the guns from anyone who has ever used drugs.

That's it, I'm convinced -- I definitely won't vote for him now!

now I'm upset that his father gave him a government job and placed him in charge of peace in the middle east...

That's neat part, we don't care.

K. Make sure that is standard for all gun owners.

You can have him. Set some precedents around gun control.

so... all those people who argued that trump getting indicted because is no big deal because an indictment is not a conviction, and it's all poltical... they feel the same way about this, right?

On one hand if he broke the law he broke the law. Charge him.

On the other hand I'm completely convinced he only got caught because Republicans have been "investigating" unnecessarily for years.

Which is super ironic considering Republicans are the party of "small govt" yet "big brother" is why Hunter got hit with anything.

So Republicans are cool with Hunter's indictment over his gun license application details? I guess that means they hate the Bidens even more than they love guns.

Who gives a shit. If he broke the law, convict him, as long as it's consistent with anyone not the son of a famous politician. By the same token, these same rich and powerful people have to be accountable to all of same laws...

Can we stop pretending the offspring of famous people matter?

The Republicans of the House of Representatives announced an Impeachment Inquiry into Hunter Bidens penis today.

Hear me out... General election debate... Biden called out on it.. he responds:

"My son has a problem with pills and drugs. I lost my other boy after his time in the service. This guy and his kids are under scrutiny for insert implications of their wealth and status. Who do you all relate to more? You don't have that one cousin who..? "

After all the Republican posturing this is all they got?

Would have been far better for them to continue the “charges coming” and “laptop incoming” charade to rile their crazy base up. These charges aren’t going to move the needle at all.

It is settled case law that you can't penalize a drug addict for being a drug addict.

How awesome would it be if Hunter ends up being cell-mates with Donald Trump‽

Imma say it, he's kinda based, evades taxes and "illegally" owns guns, free my boy.

A person broke the law. Justice as expected then.

I don't see how this is a political news point though. Has this person been given government positions or control by their relationship to Biden? Is there corruption happening?

Shall. Not. Be. Infringed!

That's what MAGA like to say, right? I'm sure they'll be out to support him.

Those background check questions are bullshit anyway. I mean, who hasnt been addicted to a bit of the old cracky-wakky? Its just so moreish.

This is major news and such an incredible development! I never realised Hunter Biden was such a good match for Solid Snake!

If he was any other US citizen you'd have every single republican screamer coming out to denounce his "politically motivated" and "unconstitutional" charges.

Cool, will republicans finally shut up now? That was like the only thing they had going for them for the last 4 years lol.

I'm going to be honest, when the craziest, most armed people in the craziest, most armed nation, want you dead, you should be able to have whatever weapons you want to protect yourself. 🤷

Ok good. Prosecute criminals. Conservatives think that liberals are also in a cult because it's the only way they can imagine being

I don't know why people are acting like this is on Biden that his adult son broke a law or laws. Everyone's got people in their family who are assholes.

So it a federal charge, can't the president pardon him? Trump pardoned so many asswipes right before leaving office.

I wish I could watch the exploding heads at the NRA right now...

They finally caught their boogie man

America is a terrifyingly broken country.

It's like 'every day is backwards day' crossed with an infinitely-recursive manifold.

It kinda seems like it is politically motivated in the other direction. They are taking this much more seriously and a wealthy white man usually would have to deal with.

I wish our system was unbiased and treated everyone equally

my understanding is it is not just the "Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance? Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside. "....... but also the school issue....Biden's girlfriend discarded the gun in a trashcan across from a high school.[14] This was also an alleged violation of the Federal Gun Free School Zone Act as the firearm was within 1,000 feet of a public high school.

He's named "Hunter" for a reason, no?

Why do so many modern presidents have such embarrassing relatives?

Biden's son, Dubya's siblings, Clinton's brother, all of George H.W. Bush's kids, Reagan's wife, Trump's entire family...

Good. Nobody cares. Send him to ADX Florence and throw away the key and I doubt even his dad will shed more than a few tears over him.
