I wish I could watch the exploding heads at the NRA right now...
How awesome would it be if Hunter ends up being cell-mates with Donald Trump‽
Finally, a reality show idea I can get behind
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.

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

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.
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
The specific charge might be even more political. Lying about drug use in the questionnaire. It gives me some conflicting thoughts.
On the one hand, I don't gaf about Hunter Biden and if he's guilty of crimes, he shouldn't be shielded from that because he's the son of the guy who was elected because he wasn't Trump.
But on the other hand, the charge is such a beaurocratic safety theatre bullshit charge and I don't think any kind of justice is served by charging anyone with this.
I think they are going for a "they not only wanted to change the law to protect the person they supported, but even reduced gun control to do so".
Though a way around this might be to charge Hunter for the Ukrainian corruption stuff (if there's merit to it) and fight all of the bullshit laws still on the books. Not to save Hunter, but so that no one ever has to deal with that bullshit.

Cool, will republicans finally shut up now? That was like the only thing they had going for them for the last 4 years lol.
So it a federal charge, can't the president pardon him? Trump pardoned so many asswipes right before leaving office.
