Hunter Biden in Court, Pleads Not Guilty to Gun Charges
I wonder if it will turn into a circus like last time.
Hunter Biden entered a Delaware federal courthouse today. Officials will arrest him before he enters a plea on gun charges.
The gun charges are the same ones as before. It stems from his gun purchase in 2018:
Hunter Biden was indicted on felony gun charges in September for making false statements and unlawfully possessing a firearm.
According to the indictment, “on or about October 12, 2018, in the District of Delaware, the defendant, Robert Hunter Biden, in connection with the acquisition of a firearm, that is, a Colt Cobra 38SPL Revolver with serial number RA 551363…knowingly made a false and fictitious written statement, intended and likely to deceive that dealer with respect to a fact material to the lawfulness of the sale of the firearm…in that the defendant, Robert Hunter Biden, provided a written statement on Form 4473 certifying he was not an unlawful user of, and addicted to, any stimulant, narcotic drug, and any other controlled substance, when in fact, as he knew, that statement was false and fictitious.”
The court released Hunter under these conditions:
The judge went over the conditions of Hunter Biden’s release and said he discussed them with the probation officer.
The conditions of release include supervision by a U.S. probation officer in the Central District of California, actively seeking employment, not possessing a gun, not using alcohol, not using drugs and submitting to drug testing if required by the probation office. He would also have to participate in substance abuse counseling if the probation office requires it.

I have it on good authority that the indictment ends with the phrase “nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more, say no more.”
Ironically, for living in a banana republic, I haven’t gotten my monthly allotment of bananas yet.
For your convenience, the monthly banana allotment has been increased from 1 pound to zero pounds. Enjoy!
Federal Department of Banana Distribution: “Yes, we have no bananas. We have no bananas today.”
We are to the point in the hierarchy means there are no laws for the parasite class. Funny the SOL run in 2014 for Turmp but they are still attacking him.
How does he plead not guilty?
Apple doesn’t fall far eh?
Haven’t you ever heard no criminal was ever
It gives his lawyers time to work on a deal before the trial. One that will avoid prison.
Looks like they’re going for one True Believer(tm) in the jury to hang the verdict.
The recent decision in the 5th Circuit, United States v. Daniels, No. 22-60596, (5th Cir. Aug. 9, 2023)…

…may point to this case eventually being dismissed by SCOTUS. This clearly isn’t news to anyone at DOJ. It’s interesting that they’re ‘aggressively’ moving forward with the one indictment is most likely to eventually be dismissed.
Kamala Harris targets guns in hopes of bolstering presidential bona fides
Our new ‘Gun Tsar’ huh? Well that could be a little awkward.
I observed this very thing as soon as the indictment hit the news. Makes for a great PR move, as DOJ can claim no special treatment, the president can say the same, and then they can rail against SCOTUS even though it saves Hunter.
It’s also the one indictment that can’t be tied to the pedophile of Chief
Maybe. I find it quite rich that Gun Ban Joe’s kid is going to try and hide behind the 2cd Amendment to stay out of prison.
Madame Lazonga predicts that Hunter Biden will be the very first person in US history to escape conviction on his particular trifecta of crimes by invoking Bruen.
Whadda coincidence!
Somewhat surprised that his lawyers didn’t argue that Hunter was employed. Monitoring and transferring funds between LLC’s requires total and complete attention. Timing of transfers must be monitored 24/7.
What about the other one? The charges are based on a revolver; but on the laptop, he was waiving around a different one. Where are the possession charges for that?
I dindt do nuffin, man.
Hunter’s rare and valuable Fullauto Colt Cobra 38SPL Assault Revolver Carbine with optional speed loader? How’s he gonna shoot a deer with that monstrosity? Is it even sporting?
It comes in two colours: assault rifle black and SS Waffen alpenflage.
One of the conditions for his release is that he actively seeks employment. Doesn’t influence peddling satisfy this requirement? I think he’s got this covered pretty well.
You know, there is a potential constitutional out here for Sniffing Hunter. Where in the 2nd Amendment does it say drug use/addiction is a prohibition to firearm possession? Are there any historical analogs that Bruen requires?
Now wouldn’t it be rather ironic, and poetic justice against this gun grabbing administration, if good old Hunter’s case resulted in the nullification of more gun laws.
If you want to go out on that limb then where does it say convicted felons can’t own a firearm? How about that guy who just spent 20yrs in for murdering his wife? Drug dealers? It’s a slippery slope and as we have seen, those on the left have no boundries.
How about someone who “has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to any mental institution.”? 18 U.S.C. § 922(d)
Well, in case you really don’t know, this does happen to be an open question under adjudication as we speak.
Umm, isn’t the crime here lying on a federal form? Whether it is eventually determined that drug felons who aren’t guilty of violence still have the right to possess firearms, the fact is he did lie on the form, which is a crime.
Yep. Refer to question 6.f, on the National Firearms Act Responsible Person Questionnaire (the application).
The signature block on this form reads:
CERTIFICATION: Under penalties imposed by 18 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 924 …. I certify that …… the statements contained in this certification ….. are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
So making a false official statement should still be an issue.
Let’s see. Tax evasion, influence peddling, foreign agent registration? Nope. A gun charge. Are you kidding?
Because Daddy skates on the gun charge… none of the others.
The Democrat response to this has me rolling my eyes.
I’ve legally owned guns for decades. I have committed no crimes with them (or without them, for that matter). Nobody has gotten so much as a scratch from them. I’ve never threatened anybody with them. So the Democrats call me a “paranoid coward”, a “domestic terrorist”.
Hunter buys guns illegally. He’s seen on video waving one around while he’s under the influence of illegal substances. His girlfriend (his late brother’s wife no less) tosses the gun into a trash can near a school. So the Democrats say, “Like…it’s no big deal…like…nobody ever gets charged for that…like…come on man stop picking on him….like…his father loves him…”
