Hunter is most likely going to walk for good reason. What he was charged with are unconditional laws. If he walks, so will Trump. And that’s assuming you can pin Trump with unlawful use first.
DOJ knows they are getting crushed with Hunter. Even 2A orgs offered legal help to him. They know the laws can’t be upheld by an honest judge. So why hit Trump with the same charges that they’re losing their shit over with Hunter?
Do certain medications which are are strong as some and worse than many illegal disqualify someone from owning a firearm? Wasn’t there pretty wide claims about Trump popping pills which would disqualify him from owning a firearm anyway?
It’s a question on a federal background check. For people who live in states where scheduled drugs are legal for recreation, it’s a grey area. The state wouldn’t care, but the feds do.
It’s basically boils down to “gotcha” requirements. If you get investigated for federal crimes and also own firearms but live in a state where some scheduled drugs are legal that you use, the fed can still just flag any future checks and charge you with lying on any previous background checks.
I am not a fan of that kind of legal fuckery, especially if a person happens to be charged with a crime they didn’t commit and still get investigated.
DOJ are you listening? These are the same charges Hunter is being indicted for

No, it isn’t. Hunter is being charged with lying about drug use on a gun form. This would be Trump buying a gun with active indictments against him.
Nah

It’s worth noting that this kind of shit never happens and the only reason Hunter is being charged with it is because that’s all they could make stick
It happens. It’s just not usually news worthy. Low bar, but still.
