Gun grab groups maintain perfect silence after Hunter Biden’s sweetheart deal<\/a><\/p>\n

Yesterday, we learned what a joke the U.S. justice system can be at times, as the crackhead son of the current President skated on felony lying on his ATF 4473 background check form for being a drug addict while applying to purchase a gun. Mind you that Hunter Biden was doing way more than marijuana, which the Biden DoJ\u00a0still insists<\/a>\u00a0makes one a prohibited person; he was an aficionado of hard drugs.<\/p>\n

The hypocrisy and double standards are hard to beat. As Cam\u00a0noted yesterday<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Just last year a Virginia man received four years in federal prison for being an unlawful user of drugs in\u00a0possession of several firearms<\/a>, while other U.S. Attorneys around the country\u00a0have pursued lengthy prison stays<\/a> for individuals who admitted to smoking marijuana and owning guns. In fact, the federal sentencing guidelines for being an unlawful user of drugs in possession of a firearm is 10-16 months in prison, but based on the reported plea deal Biden won\u2019t even have to acknowledge his guilt or face any consequences whatsoever for what should have been a slam-dunk case for prosecutors given the physical evidence and Biden\u2019s own admission that he was regularly using drugs at the time he purchased a pistol.<\/span><\/strong>\u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a 24-year old caught with guns, pot, and a couple of pills\u00a0you\u2019re going to prison<\/a>. If you\u2019re the 53-year-old son of the sitting president, however, you can admit that you were smoking crack at the same time you purchased a handgun and you\u2019ll never even face charges for that violation of federal law.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cam\u00a0also pointed out<\/a>\u00a0how the DoJ still asked for prison time for someone with nearly the same offense as Hunter Biden, and a federal judge overrode sentencing guidelines and gave the man prohibition instead.<\/p>\n

The only probationary sentence that I\u2019ve been able to find (admittedly, I\u2019ve not been able to do a deep dive into past cases) involved a Connecticut man named James Holmes, who admitted to ATF agents that he smoked marijuana while owning several firearms. While Holmes received three years probation in that case, it wasn\u2019t because DOJ asked for no prison time. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead, they requested Holmes be sent away for up to\u00a0two years<\/a>\u00a0after he pled guilty to possession of a firearm by an illegal user of a controlled substance. It was the judge in that case who departed from federal sentencing guidelines, calling it \u201ctragic\u201d to put Holmes behind bars because she believed marijuana would \u201csoon\u201d be legal both federally and in the state of Connecticut.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These double standards are egregious. Hunter Biden\u2019s conduct violated the allegedly \u201ccommon sense gun laws\u201d that the gun grabbers at Everytown, Giffords, Moms Demand, Brady, and Violence Policy Center keep crowing about. So what have these groups done in the wake of yesterday\u2019s news?<\/p>\n

Everytown tweeted about the possibility of Congress repealing the ATF pistol brace rule, lying and calling it a \u201claw\u201d instead:<\/p>\n
