Hunter Biden has been convicted of all three felony charges related to the purchase of a revolver in 2018 when, prosecutors argued, the president’s son lied on a mandatory gun-purchase form by saying he was not illegally using or addicted to drugs.
This is the question btw. It’s incredibly ambiguous what constitutes a drug user in this context. It’s setup basically that you can hit 1 (or both) of 2 conditions: unlawful user [of drugs] or addicted to [drugs]. Well, addiction is problematic alone since what if you never got diagnosed with an addiction? Most people wouldn’t. But for the user part, there’s no timeline or amount given. Smoking weed once at 16 would make you an unlawful user of drugs for life from a certain viewpoint. In fact, IIRC, when I bought my first handgun I kinda half-jokingly asked the shop owner (a friendly but obviously extremely right wing “you smoke weed and I’ll shoot your ass, boy” type of guy) what constitutes a drug user… he just replied with “do you smoke weed? Check yes.” I didn’t and actually never had… perhaps still haven’t, pleading the 5th on that part, so I checked no and got my gun (a revolver).
So it’s a shit question. Many of the questions are shit. I cannot take this seriously when Hunter violated a law that almost everyone who owns a gun PLAUSIBLY also violated. I don’t care particularly if he goes to prison, but at the same time anything Hunter has done I can basically guarantee Trump’s son in law Jared or his two actual sons have done far worse. Hunter got paid off from Ukraine and maybe China as a nepobaby position. Jared got paid off by Saudis. I’m not sure why I should care about Hunter’s gun either way. Charge him with some crime related to bribery and charge Jared too.
