    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.

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

    I’m genuinely confused as to why I’m supposed to care? Yay, good for you, conservatives! They got trump, so YOU got Hunter Biden! Wow, good job! Anyway…

      Fuck it. I’m writing him in, even though he’s been taken off the ballot in every state. MABA - Make America Biden Again.

      Ironically if he wasnt a rich white guy, then he would have either gotten away with it entirely, or would have got a misdemeanour plea deal.

      Literally the only reason this became a felony conviction is because his name is Biden.

    Just another example of Joe Biden weaponizing the Department of Justice! …oh wait.

    In all seriousness, most people could see this result coming from a mile away. The prosecution had a solid case against him. I expect the justice system to hold everyone accountable for their actions, regardless of who they are. Republicans expecting us to do backflips to defend Hunter Biden as some sort of “gotcha” are completely out of their gourd. He earned this conviction through his own deeds, just like how Trump earned his.

      They don’t understand that we don’t worship Biden like they do Trump. Hell, most of us don’t even like him that much.

        My sister was the victim of public enemy #1 in my state. She survived but there’s cyber stalking laws now because of her. Biden as a Senator sponsored her to speak to Congress. She’s the recipient of the Jefferson Award.

        My sister doesn’t like his politics, she probably didn’t vote for him. But there’s no question that Joe Biden is a good person. He is

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.
