Sweet. Now scour every other gun owner's publications and social media and if you find evidence of drug use ring them up on federal charges because apparently we're enforcing that shit on its own now. It's going to be interesting to have to visit all of my rural-ass relatives in a federal penitentiary.

    Every one of my republican voting friends owns firearms and smokes weed. One of them has a hemp businesses that they're just waiting to switch over to cannabis as soon as it's legalized. Guess who's the most diehard Trump lover of the bunch...

    Gro-bro culture.

    Every weed grower voted against legalization when California would have been the first in the nation to legalize in 2012.

    My pothead roommate was livid when that failed. Went on a big rant about it. At the end, I was like "ohh, when did you vote? I didn't see you leave all day", and he was like "well, I didn't vote... but this is fucking bullshit"

    The NRA is going to leap to his defense, right?

    Just like how they leapt to the defense of Philando Castile and Breonna Taylor.

    Is going after gun owners who lied about their drug usage while purchasing their guns really the road Republicans want to go down? That is fine by me! Go get all that drug using gun owners Feds!

    Honestly, that's a horrible idea. Far more minorities are convicted on drug charges than their population represents. It's likely that the document violates people's 2nd amendment rights (for those who think that it still applies when a well regulated malitia is not required for the protection of our free state). Regardless, it's a bad precident. I don't care about Hunter, but this should not be used on anyone else. If I had my choice, he'd use his resources, which he has plenty of, to fight it for the good of all other people, but that would be bad politically.

    He is charged with lying about using drugs in order to buy a gun. Today I learned it is illegal in the USA to have a gun if you have ever used drugs. Alright police.... Go round up all the guns from anyone who has ever used drugs.

    now I'm upset that his father gave him a government job and placed him in charge of peace in the middle east...

    so... all those people who argued that trump getting indicted because is no big deal because an indictment is not a conviction, and it's all poltical... they feel the same way about this, right?

    On one hand if he broke the law he broke the law. Charge him.

    On the other hand I'm completely convinced he only got caught because Republicans have been "investigating" unnecessarily for years.

    Which is super ironic considering Republicans are the party of "small govt" yet "big brother" is why Hunter got hit with anything.

    So Republicans are cool with Hunter's indictment over his gun license application details? I guess that means they hate the Bidens even more than they love guns.

    If they actually had principles, they'd be really conflicted right now.

    It's quite interesting from a religious perspective. Most of these people pretend to be devout christians with christian principles, but they judge Joe Biden harshly for loving his son and for the fact he has forgiven him his many missteps.

    If they were actually devout christians, they would realise the way Biden treats his son is quite reminiscent of the Parable of the Prodigal Son. It's been a while, but the whole point of that parable, is that just like a father forgives his wayward son, God forgives his children for our many missteps and sins, and celebrates our return to the fold as the father celebrated the return of his prodigal son.

    I honestly don't know how you can hate Joe Biden for forgiving and loving his son, then expect God to forgive you for your sins.

    Personally, I'm not religious. The interesting thing is that in practice, despite their loud prostestations and virtue signaling, the conservative right seem to be becoming increasingly secular too. I don't think many of them actually believe. They certainly don't seem to believe in Christian values or the bible anymore. They just hang on to the symbols of religion because it is politically expedient and allows them to differentiate their in-group, then often seem to do the exact opposite of what the bible tells them to do.

    Who gives a shit. If he broke the law, convict him, as long as it's consistent with anyone not the son of a famous politician. By the same token, these same rich and powerful people have to be accountable to all of same laws...

    Can we stop pretending the offspring of famous people matter?

    Hear me out... General election debate... Biden called out on it.. he responds:

    "My son has a problem with pills and drugs. I lost my other boy after his time in the service. This guy and his kids are under scrutiny for insert implications of their wealth and status. Who do you all relate to more? You don't have that one cousin who..? "

    After all the Republican posturing this is all they got?

    Would have been far better for them to continue the “charges coming” and “laptop incoming” charade to rile their crazy base up. These charges aren’t going to move the needle at all.
