DOJ are you listening? These are the same charges Hunter is being indicted for
Hunter is most likely going to walk for good reason. What he was charged with are unconditional laws. If he walks, so will Trump. And that's assuming you can pin Trump with unlawful use first.
DOJ knows they are getting crushed with Hunter. Even 2A orgs offered legal help to him. They know the laws can't be upheld by an honest judge. So why hit Trump with the same charges that they're losing their shit over with Hunter?
No, it isn't. Hunter is being charged with lying about drug use on a gun form. This would be Trump buying a gun with active indictments against him.

It's funny to watch his facade occasionally fall and the curtain to be peeled back, and yet the show just keeps going.
Unlike other politicians, the trail of grifts with him is long, and yet people still keep him going.
I truly don’t get it.
It's the sunk cost fallacy.
It’s also people who brush off inconvenient information because a guy hates all the people they hate and they wish they could have a huge platform to say what he says.
There are multiple things. Part of it is that they never hear of news like this part of it is that "there's no way he did all of that, the fake news/dwu state/globalists are making things up, because they are scared of him. And for the remaining: "yeah, dauber he did it, but democrats are already doing it/would do it if they had a chance".
While Trump remains the frontrunner in the GOP race for the White House, he has also been indicted in four criminal cases this year, and therefore cannot purchase a gun under the law.
A federal judge in texas ruled last year that preventing people under indictment from purchasing firearms was unconstitutional based on the Supreme Court's Bruen decision, just FYI. So I don't think the situation is as cut and dry as it would have been just a couple years ago.
I don't really think it's super worthwhile to spend a bunch of time discussing if and should about those cases here. The larger point is that he apparently tried to lie about his gun cred by pretending to buy a gun. And that of he had, he would have been committing the same crime they got Hunter with.
In other news, Bruen is terrible.

Is he shopping for his final firearm? You know, the pistol that stops him from being taken to jail?
Trump would flee to Russia before he would off himself
Then start a grift to convince true patriots to move there with him.
I’d be okay with this.
What can we, as normal American citizens, be doing to encourage this MAGA migration?

With any luck it’ll be a Secret Service persons duty pistol.
The same Secret Service that conveniently yet 'accidentally' deleted all of their texts from January 5-7 after they were subpoenaed and told to preserve those texts? The same Secret Service where Mike Pence said (like a Criminal Minds victim), "I'm not getting in the car, Tim. I trust you, Tim, but you're not driving the car. If I get in that vehicle, you guys are taking off. I'm not getting in the car."
I wouldn't particularly hold your breath about Trump's Secret Service detail being particularly loyal to the United States.
Trump's SS
The one that will be found in the bunker with Eva Braun?
So a spokesman posts on Twitter that he bought a gun and then someone has to delete the post and say it is not true? Sounds like amateur hour for his campaign but I thought he only hired the "best and brightest".
I thought he only hired the “best and brightest”.
"they're not sending their best"
"And some, I assume, are good people"
Turns out the best and the brightest insist on being paid.
There's more evidence that Trump makes bad hiring decisions than there's evidence for gravity.
I thought he only hired the “best and brightest”.
He hires only the best and brightest he can get. It's a much smaller pool.
Wait, I'm still catching up. Why would it have been illegal?
He doesn't live in that state.
This is the reason.
He's been indicted on felony charges, felons can't own guns.
He's not a felon (yet). Does that law apply to indictments?
Edit: No, it doesn't:
https://www.texastribune.org/2022/09/19/second-amendment-texas-case-buy-guns-felony-indictment/
Can he try NOT committing any crimes for like one day? Just to see if he can do it?
Trump will never stop committing crimes
One day he will die. Crimes inspired by and in his name will never stop though. He's practically a religious figure now.
He’s replaced Christ to evangelical Christians. He’s their messiah now. Jesus was too woke 🤣

What and get DTs? You monster.
Lying liar says what?
The law only applies to brown people under indictment who want to purchase firearms, not ~~white~~ orange ones.
I can't wait til he snorts a ton of coke he's next debate so any one that's ever done the drug can pretend he was totally sober, again.
Plot twist: he runs out/spills his supply, they run to the nearest corner and it’s fent laced.

He really wants to make sure nobody breaks his record as most indicted president of all time I guess...
