Cernovich @Cernovich Surprised Hunter Biden was convicted. I hope the gun charge is overturned on second amendment grounds

Now that former President Donald Trump's trial has wrapped up, all eyes are on Hunter Biden, who's facing trial in Delaware for federal gun charges. The sitting president's son is the first child of a president to be indicted on federal charges.

Hunter Biden is expected to plead not guilty Tuesday to federal firearms charges in a Delaware-based federal court during an arraignment that will mark the first time a sitting president's child has appeared to fight criminal charges in court.

The illegal alien let off the hook for the murder of San Francisco resident Kate Steinle in 2015 now wants additional leniency: He wants his gun possession charge overturned because, well, it’s just not fair. You may recall there was no small amount of outrage when jurors in the case of Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, who stood accused of shooting and killing Steinle, failed to convict him even of manslaughter charges but, because they are such gun haters in California, decided instead to convict him of illegally possessing a firearm. The CBS station in San Francisco called the verdict “shocking.”...
