Summary
President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, reversing his prior stance against using executive clemency.
The pardon covers Hunter’s federal gun conviction and tax evasion guilty plea, sparking political controversy.
Biden cited political attacks and a “miscarriage of justice” as reasons for his decision, emphasizing his son’s recovery from addiction and the targeting of his family.
Critics argue the move undermines the judicial process, while supporters view it as within Biden’s constitutional powers.
This decision shields Hunter from potential prison time as Biden nears the end of his presidency.
Yeah mental states should be irrelevant to the ability to tote guns, the most basic of human rights.
Even infant children deserve human rights, give kids guns too!
Who judges these “mental states”? The state? So, like… in the 1980’s, gay people couldn’t own guns? Remember, it too, was a “mental disease”…
Medical professionals have been making these judgements regarding those too mentally ill to hold guns.
Instead it should be armchair professionals like yourself making such judgements.
The same medical professionals who thought being gay was a mental illness?
How about nobody gets to pick and choose who gets what rights?
Exactly! You proved why anti-vaxxers were right all along.
Not at all, but nice try!
