I will guiltily admit that my initial reaction to Hunter Biden’s conviction on gun charges related to his drug use.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cue the Nelson Ha-Ha!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cynically, I could say that this is a travesty of justice, robbing children of their father, and depriving the world of his work as an artist<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What did he do? He liked about being addicted to drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What did that law intend to prevent? Crack-whacked maniac from opening up with a gun on innocent people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sort of thing that his dad made a political career fighting agains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guns are bad, but everything’s worse when the person with the gun is taking illegal drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But turn it around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many people has this background check saved preventing people from executing their constitutional right to have a firearm? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You, Mister Politician, claimed that this would prevent something. Provide a few examples of specific instances where it worked as intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, what is the age of the law upon which he was convicted. That Hunter didn’t have something making the penalty stronger?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Brady Bill expired for a reason. Every single law should expire. Unless a law is explicitly to protect life, liberty, or property, it should expire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same goes for the regulations tracing to those laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I’m not going to be worried about Hunter having a pistol. I’m also not going to worry about him smoking crack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, it’s important to know, that his dad is proud of him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
