In between buying and smoking crack, Hunter Biden also bought a gun. While buying crack (which has sent a whole lot of people to prison, but it’s okay if you’re the president’s son and writing a memoir about it) is fine, buying a gun and lying about your crackhead status is a federal offense and it’s one of Hunter’s many crimes.
But Hunter has a great defense.
“The defense also said that Hunter just wandered into the store and was pressured to buy a gun. The store employee testified that he came into the store specifically looking for the gun,” Jonathan Turley tweeted.
I’m always offended when I walk into a furniture store with no intention of buying furniture and then buy a couch.
How many people who have no interest in buying guns walk into gun stores?
Occam’s Razor says that if Hunter went into a gun store, it was to buy a gun and not to check out the pine tree air filter selection.
Hunter’s defense is that he didn’t identify as a crackhead at the time.
Jurors have also been shown dozens of pages of Hunter Biden’s memoir, “Beautiful Things,” written in 2021 after he got sober. And they heard lengthy audio excerpts from the book, which traces his descent into addiction following the death of his brother, Beau Biden, in 2015 from cancer. The memoir covers the period he bought the gun, though it doesn’t mention the weapon specifically.
Lowell has said Hunter Biden’s state of mind was different when he wrote the book than when he purchased the gun, when he didn’t believe he had an addiction.
So Hunter was buying and smoking massive amounts of crack, but was unaware that he was doing it?
The ATF form states, “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?”
We can quibble about addiction, but it specifically states “unlawful user of.”
The key issue, though, said Lowell, is “what Hunter thought at the time” he bought the handgun.
Lowell told jurors that people who suffer from addiction are often “in a deep state of denial” and that by checking “no” on the form, he didn’t intend to deceive the gun store or federal authorities.
The attorney stressed that while Form 4473 has definitions about terms such as fugitive, it included no definitions for “addicted to” or “unlawful user” of drugs – the two critical terms in question for the trial.
Hunter was so in denial that while smoking crack, he didn’t understand that he was an “unlawful user” of the crack he was smoking.
Also, there’s no definition of “unlawful user” of drugs which probably confused Hunter who has a law degree from Yale.
What could the form possibly mean by “unlawful user” of drugs, the Yale JD wondered while buying a gun.
What struck me was a lot of subcultures, even in USA (or especially in USA) have no concept of rule of law. So lying on government forms is normal for them.
Yes, they’re shameless. If you or I lied on a form like that we’d be in prison getting stabbed to death.
And the Biden name is a joke. It only opens back doors.
Whoever down voted me takes it up the ass. It’s probably you, right Dickporn? You’re such a stalker. Have you written a manifesto for when you go on your shooting spree?
My advice is to do it at a Target store. Anybody who shops there deserves to die. You could go out on a high note, psycho boy.
Did Hunter Biden “identify” as a member of a greedy depraved psychopathic politically and morally
corrupt criminal berserk hate – America and hate US working and middle class citizens woke leftist
democrat family ?
If not, Hunter is a liar.
What you say is true. However I strongly disagree with harsh penalties for lying on gun applications.
Politicians won’t (at least for now), outright repeal and get rid of the second amendment. What they do though is attach harsh penalties for even trivial violations of gun laws. And yes, this is trivial, who would admit hard drug use on any application? How many of us lie on every application we fill out?
Politicians pass so many laws that it becomes impossible to keep track and know all of them. And then they get you on a technicality and impose a harsh sentence on you. Now certainly Hunter probably knew that lying on a federal application is against the law, but that’s not the point. Many want to see him go down just because he is part of the dems machine. Just like many dems would love to see Trump spend his life in prison for the most trivial of violations.
Hunter Biden is a threat to no one. Just a fine and probation for his first offense should suffice in a just world.
Gun laws are the worst. We pass so many strict gun laws with harsh sentences that it becomes impossible for people to keep up with all of them. You drive into a new state with your gun inadvertantly and you probably violate some gun law that could get you 10 to 15!
Many of my fellow conservatives unfortunately go along with these harsh laws for gun violations, effectively chipping away at the second amendment. And if you want to get technical, there is no second amendment exception for being a junkie.
This is the land of the free. End these gun violations that can get you serious jail time for the most trivial of offenses.
I agree. Considering the number of pot users in America, I would assume at least 30-50% of people who buy guns lie on the ATF form.
For sure. Exactly. I personally have known chronic pot users who legally own firearms.
It’s ok if you purchase a gun BEFORE you become a pot user. You are then not required to give it up.
I heard on the news the other day that more Americans smoke pot nowadays than drink alcohol. I don’t know what to think about that. Certainly, pot is much less dangerous than alcohol but 53% of Americans sitting around watching Netflix and munching on delivery pizzas probably isn’t good for society.
Crack Hunter is a threat to no one? Say that when he gets behind a wheel high or drunk as fuck.
You want to imprison him on a hypothetical? Are you serious?
If he gets behind the wheel intoxicated and gets pulled over, he’ll face arrest and the same penalties for DUI as anyone else(or at least he should).
So according to you, lets arrest everyone and lock them in prison for what they “might do”! That’s the kind of free society I’d like to live in!
Besides genius, he isn’t being charged with drug use or DUI. You just want him in prison because of his last name. Damn, you are worse then the dems!
Respectfully my friend, you are a major moron!
What you just said, made everyone in the room a little dumber!
The glaring truth is that criminals do not fill out that cute Federal form asking is you are a criminal and criminals nationwide conceal carry without “permits”. Only goody goody’s do that.
If Hunter skates on this one, perhaps even more black folk will vote for Trump.
what swamp ilk privileged is backflowing out of our toilets that we are told doesn’t exist and we should ignore it.
Hunter Biden: “yeah stoned outta my head and driving 227 mph down a public hwy, identify as a clean and sober person”
Most people can’t even afford to buy a car that can go 227 mph down a public highway 🙂
I hadn’t thought of that but you’re right.
I remember driving my Toyota Corolla (I loved that car almost as much as my current Camry) on the outback section of highway 18 in the Mojave and the speedometer topped out at 110 MPH but I was sure I was going faster than that. Every time I hit a slight dip in the road, the car almost came off the ground.
I almost wish I had a corrupt daddy who spent his entire worthless life gorging at the public trough to buy me a car that goes 227 MPH but I don’t smoke crack so I’d be afraid to drive that fast.
Just another drug addicted idiot too darn stupid to quit and too stoned t think right just like his father
You can bet this jury is going to walk Hunter. It’s the mirror image of the jury that convicted Trump. People who have no loyalty to the law or facts .. people who will convict or acquit based on reasons wholly unconnected with the evidence .
and a prosecution that didn’t want to bring the case
Hunter didn’t lie. Dr. Feelgood legally prescribed “Crack” for Hunter’s depression and anxiety brought on by flashbacks of episodes with his father. He was legally allowed to smoke a golf ball sized rock every day as needed.
Given that he could have identified as a woman on the form and we would have to accept that, I guess we have to accept that his identification as a non-crackhead was true.
ANOTHER EXCUSE for Hunter’s FELONIES – he was absent the day they covered this at HIS LAW SCHOOL!! I do hope the PROSECUTION followed up the Defense’s “lack of definition” with “Mr. Hunter BIDEN, You have a Law Degree, you PRACTICE LAW, in fact you’ve been paid MILLION$ for your KNOWLEDGE of the LAW, and you certainly can read a form”? “YES”!! Then why is YOUR Lawyer making it appear that you are IGNORANT of the LAW?? Would you prefer another attorney since this one questions your intelligence??
How i would love to see Hunters face behind bars with his Father why break up a more vile pair of lowlife no account Polecats and Sidewinders
The ATF form is a joke . It even askes you if you are a criminal, if your sex is “non binary”, your race, if you are a fugitive from justice, if you are an illegal alien, etc….. Um…..guess what, criminals don’t fill out this form when getting a gun. Only goody goody’s do that. In addition criminals nation wide conceal carry without getting “permits” but law abiding citizens must go through the process. The whole situati9n is absurd.
When (not if) Hunter is acquitted, maybe gun laws (used as a way to limit 2nd amendment) will slowly erode.
Are you an unlawful drug user?” The defense sounds familiar. It depends on what the meanings of “are” are. If drugs are not unlawfully used while answering, “No” is not perjury – if answering while privileged.
