Surprised Hunter Biden was convicted.

I hope the gun charge is overturned on second amendment grounds

This Cernovich fella is off his rocker. I agree with the latter half of his comments but Hunter must get a harsh sentence out of three felony convictions.

[stanne]

Oh please. No. Hunter won’t spend even a night in jail. Stop

[mac_truck]

Cerno is an internet rent-boy, and gets paid to be “controversial”.

[SaxxonWoods]

Meaningless side show.

[Macho MAGA Man]

How does he get paid, and by whom?

[Roadrunner383]

Not really a 2A issue. Nobody has the Constitutional right to lie on Federal Form 4473, and it’s stated on the form that it’s a felony to do so.

Crazy. Poor Hunter.

Never worked a day in his life.

palmetto state armory is having a great sale on heritage Rough Riders. I bought one.

If the underlying prohibition (possession of a firearm by someone who uses illegal intoxicating drugs) is found to be unconstitutional, there is an argument the requirement for the form was unconstitutional.

The real crimes are found in Hunter’s laptop - ie. child porn, money laundering, 10% for the Big Guy, etc.

His Daddy also poured hundreds of millions into the IRS so people pay their Fair Share.

Please start with Hunter and Jim Biden

Perhaps this is meant as a message to Pedo Joe to bow out before the Democrat Convention.

[Bob the builder]

Now that he has been found guilty, will he be disbarred and lose his law license and voting rights?

Not really a 2A issue. Nobody has the Constitutional right to lie on Federal Form 4473, and it’s stated on the form that it’s a felony to do so.

It's a conundrum.

On the one hand, the second amendment is clear:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. That question can be seen as a screen to keep drug users from keeping and bearing arms -- clearly an infringement.

However, there is also Article I Section 8 Clause 16:

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

The 2A term "well regulated" most likely refers to the tasks laid out in Article I Section 8 Clause 16 "organizing, arming, and disciplining... and training" the militia to be ready to be "employed in the Service of the United States" because Article I Section 8 predates the ratification of the second amendment and Congress was already familiar with the Section 8 powers when they crafted the second amendment.

Combining this with 2A, a federal court could interpret both together to suggest that the question of drug use on the federal form is not intended to keep guns away from drug users, but to inform the federal government of members of the militia who meet the level of "well regulated" if needed to be called into national service.

Someone like Hunter Biden would have been clearly rejected as not being a "well regulated" member of the militia and would not have been called into service due to being an unreliable member of the militia, despite possessing his own arms.

By this reading, failing to check the box on the federal form can be lying to the federal government while also withstanding the 2A infringement argument.

Proxy justice wars.

You’ll have to ask him how he gets paid because the last time I checked he was a stay at home dad who did some consulting on the side.

I do know he worked for the Kelli Ward campaign for a hot minute a few years ago, but that relationship went south in a hurry.

I keep Cernovich on blast because he’s a political shape-shifter adept at creating controversies...ymmv

The 4473 shouldn't even be required.

“I hope this is over turned on Second Amendment grounds,” really Mike? You equate a degenerate drug addict with honest Americans who might get caught on a technicality and say they are all the same - is that about right?
Go away.
