So his accountant fucked up his taxes and he brought a gun into a gun-free governmental zone at some point?
He also lied about drug use on his paperwork while buying the gun. Which is also felony.
He also also admitted to drug posession while armed, which is another felony.
You know what's also a felony? Stealing and concealing top secret-eyes only classified documents.
Sure and anyone doing that should be punished as well. That's a separate topic. Hunter Biden needs to face the consequences for his actions, hence this thread.
Yeah, uh, that's why Trump is being charged with 38 federal crimes. What was even the point of this comment?
Is this thread about Hunter Biden or Trump?
Why do we even give a shit about Hunter Biden? Is he or was he in office? Was he on his dad's presidential staff?
It's a human interest story. He's the president's son, so he's going to garner attention.
See:
Sasha and Malia
Barbara Bush jr
Chelsea Clinton
Donald Trump jr
People are just interested in the whole family. I mean, I don't give two shits, but a lot of people do. Just that good 'ol collective western psyche
I am downvoting this post not because I disagree with you, but this thread is about Hunter Biden's legal issues, not Trumps. I hate Trump and everything he stands for, but I think we should focus our conversations on the topics at hand lest this become an echo chamber. There are plenty of threads on the fediverse devoted to talking shit on the orange menace and I encourage you to post there. Have a good one buddy
BUT WHAT ABOUT TRUMP :( :( :( :( :(
What questions about drug use are on the paperwork? Lawyer pretty told me to ALWAYS lie about previous drug use unless it's gov paperwork or courts.
When getting a handgun license or registering a firearm in some states there can be questions like "are you a habitual drunkard" and "Are you an addict or habitual user of a controlled dangerous substance?" Lying about this can end up being a felony, at least in Maryland where I pulled the above two questions from.
Do they really word it that way? That's stupid broad. Applied for a IT Position for a local PD decades ago, the wording was very clearly "Have you ever done any illegal drugs; List every instance and explain".
I did not end up applying.
Would actually be hilarious if you're clean.
"Have I ever smoked marijuana? Well, no, I haven't. So I better lie about this and check 'yes' just like my lawyer advices."
The form is ATF4473, it is a government form, and lying on it is a felony.
"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."
Not entirely relevant here but I'll say it anyway.
I fully support people not getting in trouble over lying on this question due to the marijuana inclusion.
Its funny that he got caught because of his memoirs book where he mentions a period of being on drugs and it coincided with him filling out a gun form saying he was not.
