Amid reports Hunter Biden may have given false information on an ATF background check form, it is notable that the punishment for false answers includes fines up to $250,000 and/or ten years imprisonment.
ATF Form 4473 is the background check each would-be retail gun buyer fills out. A Federal Firearms License holder then calls the FBI and relays the information, .
Hunter Biden may have lied about his history of drug use when filling out ATF Form 4473 for a gun purchase in 2018.
The form asks, “Are you the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm(s) listed on this form? … Warning: You are not the actual transferee/buyer if you are acquiring the firearm(s) on behalf of another person. If you are not the actual transferee/buyer, the licensee cannot transfer the firearm(s) to you.”
A “yes” or “no” answer is required.
The question pertinent to Hunter Biden’s alleged 2018 gun purchase is drug related:
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.
The gun purchaser is required to answer “yes” or “no”.
ATF Form 4473 makes clear, “The information you provide will be used to determine whether you are prohibited by Federal or State law from receiving a firearm. Certain violations of the Gun Control Act, 18 U.S.C. 921 et. seq., are punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment and/or up to a $250,000 fine.

the DO”J” and FIB and SS will protect.
That is their “job”: destroy Evidence, kill witnesses,
stop the 1st Amendment, use FISA lying and more
to take out the REAL PRESIDENT, arrest the innocent,
and coverup their own past treason, sedition and conspiracy.
so in short: He is CHOSEN (not by voters) and invulnerable.
NOTHING DID, or will HAPPEN.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Yeah. Hunter Biden indictments forthcoming. Ha ha ha ha ha! Good one!
Standard observation and prediction: Liberal = nothing will happen.
Because
But Senator Joe Biden said this back in 2013!

During the National Rifle Association’s meeting with Vice President Joe Biden and the White House gun violence task force, the vice president said the Obama administration does not have the time to fully enforce existing gun laws.
Jim Baker, the NRA representative present at the meeting, recalled the vice president’s words during an interview with The Daily Caller:
“And to your point, Mr. Baker, regarding the lack of prosecutions on lying on Form 4473s, we simply don’t have the time or manpower to prosecute everybody who lies on a form, that checks a wrong box, that answers a question inaccurately.”
“Prosecutions for gun law violations have been significantly down over the last few years. In this particular case, over 72,000 applications for a gun license were scuttled by background checks, but only 44 cases of information falsification were prosecuted. But what we really need are even more laws!”
He DID !
The trick is to handle it right. Many moons ago when we wanted to do something we would talk to Grandpa.
Chief, remember that idea you had about ( fill in ) Should we do it? Grandpa would answer. “I don’t remember saying that but if it was my idea go do it.”
So someone should ask Biden if they should prosecute Hunter like he told us to.
“Me, but not for thee.” explained Gwen P.Socki.
‘k, get it
Just Us.
We _get_ it.

Lying, as hunter biteme did, means zip diddly for hunter. You or me? See ya when I get out. If I did that that is.
“RACISS !!!”
or something
Looks like they got him and rightfully so got lying on a Background Check.
Everyone should answer those questions 100 percent truthful or face the consequences.
I have had an FFL and I have sold a lot of guns over the years.
If hunter biden had answered “yes” to that question they NICS would never have OK’d or passed his clearance to allow him to buy a gun.
Never, ever, not for anyone.....
Hunter lied his ass off and gets a pass, again.....
Believe it or not, there are folks who go through the NICS check, buy a gun and are later found out to be “prohibited”, as the ATF calls it.
Want to know what happens? They get a phone call explaining that they shouldn’t have been able to buy it and would they mind turning it in. The usual response is, “give me my money back”. ATFs response, “have a nice day, sir/mam”.
I don’t think there’s one federal agency that hasn’t lapsed into such a state of dysfunction that they should be torn down to nothing, decided if they actually served a function, and maybe get rebuilt.
Man, we need a law that says we will enforce existing gun control laws....
the punishment for false answers includes fines up to $250,000 and/or ten years imprisonment.
Uh, no, not if your Hunter Biden.
Exactly.
