Ever since Hunter Biden was convicted on federal charges of possessing a firearm while an unlawful user of drugs (and lying about that fact on the background check forms he filled out when purchasing a revolver), Joe Biden has insisted that he wouldn't be pardoning his son. That all changed late on Sunday when Biden announced he'd issued a full pardon, just a few weeks before Hunter was scheduled to be sentenced for his felony crimes.
“No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son — and that is wrong,” the president said in a statement.

For all of the claims by Democrats that Donald Trump is a threat to institutional norms, he never issued any preemptory pardons for himself or his offspring. ...... It would be one thing if Biden had insisted that the statute in question was unfair or unconstitutional. But Biden's DOJ maintains that the statute is absolutely necessary to prevent dangerous people from legally accessing firearms, and Biden himself has never cast doubt on the efficacy or constitutionality of the prohibition.
Throughout Hunter's legal odyssey, many Second Amendment advocates (myself included) have expressed their own concerns with the statute in question, and groups like the Firearms Policy Coalition even offered their support if Hunter wanted to mount a Second Amendment challenge to the prohibition. Joe Biden could have hopped on that bandwagon, but instead he chose to engage in a glaring double standard when it comes to "unlawful" drug users possessing guns; allowing guys like Patrick Darnell Daniels to face years in a federal penitentiary while giving his own son a "Get Out of Jail Free" card.

At the same time that many Politicians, DAs, and judges are demanding more gun laws, they refuse to use the laws they insisted upon in the past to lock up repeat felons.
Hunter Biden was the classic example of the need for a red flag law.
Giving a gun to a crackhead so he can prowl the streets looking for a drug dealer to make a score is just asking for trouble.
This man had a gun in his pocket while making drug deals!
And now they say no big deal.
Biden’s entire life = double standard
Rule of Law? I don’t see it.
Rule of Men? Yeah, that Oligarchy is staring me in the face.
The funny thing, the original plea bargain deal was meant to make this whole issue go away with a minor fine and probation and a guarantee of no further investigations. The fine was merely a business expense for Biden Crime Inc. so this pardon amounts to just a slightly sweeter version of the original sweetheart deal.
I believe Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi prove just because you claim to be a devout Catholic does not mean you are a devout Christian.
... doesn't mean you actually are one.
Someone announcing to the world that he's "devout" basically tells me that he lacks humility, which is a pretty important virtue not to have. The truly devout people will tell you they're poor sinners in need of grace.
Pedo Joe needs to pardon the gun too!
It’s a blaring admission that there really is a two-tier legal system in this country and whatcha gonna do about it?
The Law gives POTUS the power of pardon.
Simple as that.
I do pray that Biden and Pelosi and the rest of their ilk have the opportunity to make a full and good Confession before The End.
I’m going out on a limb guessing the white powder security videos have long since been destroyed so Kash can’t get him on something. Yeah, there should be tons of things to file on outside of the last 4 years.
That usually happens as part of a plea deal where the defendant agrees to plead guilty to the more serious charges.
The whole family’s entire life.
They still hope to take guns from honest, non-violent citizens while leaving them in the hands of violent criminals.
Gun laws are only for leverage to be used against democrats political opponents.
Just like every other law they’ve passed recently.
My old man would kick my butte and
Take it back !!!
Catholics are in a cult, like Masons, or Tom Cruise.
