Welp, I'm convinced. I certainly won't be settling for only the FATHER of a felon. I'm going to get the REAL THING.

I get that the law is the law, and the jury has to rule as such (barring nullification), but this is such a stupid law.

None of our other constitutional rights are contingent on not using controlled substances.

That this is even news is just odd.

I guess I'd take note if Trump's kids or Kushner were convicted, but then they were in and out of the White House far more frequently than Hunter. Nepotism ran rampant.

Wonder if this opens the gate for cops on steroids to be charged?

Clearly Biden rigged this to politically damage Biden

[–] [email protected] 97 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I know multiple people, several of them fine upstanding Republicans that have violated this same law by lying on this same form. Hell, one of them has done it repeatedly in order to straw purchase firearms for his son, a convicted felon.

[–] [email protected] 83 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Wouldn't it be unfortunate if someone reported that kind of thing? Which one should do, since we're talking about a convicted felon possessing firearms.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

we had one around here who shot up highland and whos bussiness went bust. Its funny how the community does not appreciate such loving family behaviour.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Highland Park, IL? I know someone who was there and had to hide in doorways on the street just below the shooter before sprinting away, while his friend was in the crowd being targeted.

If I cared about this guy, or he was important in anyway, I'd feel something probably.

Appeal to the Supreme Court and let them overturn the conviction on the History and Tradition grounds that there's no historical precedent from infringing on the gun rights of people on crack. 5th Circuit already ruled on this matter and acquitted the defendant on similar grounds, in the case USA v. Daniels.

For anyone curious. I mean I disagree with these ridiculous overlay broad second amendment interpretations personally, but looks like he has an appeal argument based on how the courts have been treating the second amendment lately. I look forward to the mental gymnastics of the second amendment extremists on this case. Seeing marijuana spelled "marihuana" over and over in the ruling above is also pretty funny.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It was always spelled marihuana until they propagandized it.

I guess I’m not voting for Hunter anymore.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I admit I was on the fence. Now definitely not. Couldn't in all good conscience vote for a convicted criminal.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Yeah I don't want to be a hypocrite like some so called americans. He is not even a possibility for me now and I might even vote for his opponent to show how much my morals and religion mean to me.
