Hunter Biden Case for Appeal: Gun Law is Unconstitutional
Washington Times ^ | 10 June 2024 | Stephen Dinan

Posted on 06/11/2024 3:58:14 PM PDT by impimp

Hunter Biden’s conviction on federal gun charges Tuesday ignited a feverish debate, including among conservatives, over the constitutionality of the law he was found guilty of violating.

Thanks to a 2022 Supreme Court ruling, courts are taking a new look at the federal government’s main gun control law that bars felons, illegal immigrants, dishonorably discharged veterans, fugitives and unlawful drug users, among others, from possessing a firearm.

The Question should be who’s going to pay the Biden’s Legal Bills now and why it doesn’t count as Campaign Contributions which are limited?

“Anything of value…”


Appeals are crazy expensive

How about violating FARA? Child sex? Drugs? Tax fraud? Influence peddling? Dodging child support?

Love the sinner, hate the sin.
Yelling fire is the act to hate.

That’s not an illustration to compare to restricting the gun rights of citizens.

Shall not be infringed, and the Bruen declarations fit nicely together. A reasonable interpretation of Originalism.

” a constitutional right to buy a gun.”

The right is inalienable, not given by the Constitution.
The Constitution prohibits Government from infringing on those inalienable rights.

2nd Amendment protects you from them. It does not give anyone rights.

Neither druggies nor felons should lose gun rights.

The definition of a felony is “any crime for which you COULD have gotten a year or more in prison.” That’s a very low bar. Lots of felons never do any time. Should they lose a constitutional right for a crime that minor.?

Also for gun rights conversation; Enter all the theaters, schools, hospitals, etc. that have “Gun Free Zone” or some such rule/posting/signage. This is not right either.

What right do the Feds have to even ask if you take drugs on a gun application?

Government doesn't have "rights". Government, in the USA, has legitimately delegated constitutional authority (and illegitimately seized unconstitutional power). So ... what legitimately delegated constitutional authority do the Feds have to impose a "gun application" on We the People?

“Please identify the crime associated with yelling fire in a crowded theater”

Disturbing the peace at a minimum.

Only thing is, 99.9 percent of drug addicts are not thinking about buying a gun legally. They would rather have drugs. Unless they are wealthy drug users! lol

Lying on a federal application is a felony.

just like on a tax form.

Just think, if Hunter had bought that gun from his drug dealer, he might be a free man today .../S

“Lying on a federal application is a felony”

If that’s true, it’s dumb. Talk about a non-violent victimless crime!!

Do you want crazy drug addicts owning guns?................

Obviously the question on the 4473 did not prevent it.
