In a frustrating turn of events for Hunter Biden, his sweetheart deal that would have granted him immunity for a laundry list of crimes in exchange for pleading guilty to a gun charge was shattered by District Judge Maryellen Noreika. And now, Biden is facing three new charges that could bring down the hammer on him.

According to the trustworthy folks over at Fox News, the president’s troubled son recently entered a plea of not guilty to three federal gun crimes. Special Counsel David Weiss, who orchestrated the indictment, slapped Biden with a false statement charge related to the purchase of the firearm and another false statement charge regarding information required by the federal firearms licensed dealer. To top it all off, Biden is also facing a count of possession of a firearm while being an unlawful user of controlled substances.
If found guilty on all charges, Biden could find himself in a prison cell for a whopping 25 years, alongside a hefty fine of $750,000. One can only wonder how he’ll get out of this one.
But let’s rewind a bit to understand how Biden ended up in this predicament. It seems that back in 2018, he made the questionable decision to purchase a handgun while he was hooked on crack cocaine and other illicit drugs. Now, in most circumstances, this would be illegal, as federal law explicitly prohibits drug users from buying or possessing firearms. But why let the law stop you when you’re part of a powerful political family?
To make matters worse, Biden’s former sister-in-law, who was romantically involved with him at the time, grew concerned about his firearm ownership. Sensibly, she took it upon herself to remove the gun from his possession and tossed it into a supermarket dumpster near a school. Classy move, right?
Eventually, the gun was discovered and handed over to the police. And just like that, Hunter Biden’s reckless actions landed him in even hotter water than before.
So, what does Biden’s defense team have up their sleeves? Well, they may try to make an argument for Second Amendment rights as a way to fight the charges. This move could put his father, President Joe Biden, in quite the sticky situation. After all, he’s been an outspoken opponent of the Second Amendment and has even criticized recent court decisions that sided with gun owners.
It’s amusing how the tables have turned. Hunter Biden could use a ruling from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which overturned the conviction of a man caught with marijuana and firearms, as a precedent. The court cited the Supreme Court’s decision in Bruen v. New York Rifle & Pistol Association, which emphasized the importance of gun laws aligning with America’s “historical tradition of firearm regulation.”
Of course, President Biden denounced the Bruen decision, going so far as to call it an “abomination.” Now, he must grapple with the possibility that his own son might use the Second Amendment to defend himself in court. Talk about a tangled web of hypocrisy!
In the end, the outcome of this case remains uncertain. But one thing is for sure: the Biden family has a knack for finding themselves in legal trouble. And as conservatives, we’ll be watching closely to ensure that justice is served and no special treatment is given, regardless of their last name.
