The indictment against the president's son comes after a plea agreement on tax and gun charges fell apart in July and amid a probe of his finances by House Republicans.
Hunter Biden “provided a written statement on Form 4473 certifying he was not an unlawful user of, and addicted to, any stimulant, narcotic drug, and any other controlled substance, when in fact, as he knew, that statement was false and fictitious,” according to the indictment.
Something which, notably, happens on around 1% of all applications, but is prosecuted less than 0.000005% of the time.
From 2008 - 2012 there were 32 million background checks, and 373,900 rejections.
Between FY 2008 and FY 2015, an 8-year period, ATF formally referred 509 NICS denial
cases that included 558 subjects to USAOs for possible prosecution. The USAOs
accepted for consideration of prosecution 254 subjects (or less than 32 subjects per
year) and declined to prosecute 272 subjects.
32 prosecutions a year for an average of 6 million background checks (completed, there is a much larger number for bg checks initiated)
I was asking why the OP changed the title of the article to add “son of the president”. As if it’d somehow make people care more about this total non-story.
What’s with the title change here?
So he lied on a form about not being a drug user.
Good to know that Republicans will be champing at the bit to take more guns away and give this enforcement some teeth.
Let’s drug test Congress.
Wait, don’t Republicans want more guns?
Not if your name is Hunter Biden

huh? I’m guessing you didn’t mean to reply to me.
