Articles say the gun issue wasn’t likely to result in prison time, but when it comes to the tax issue all they say is “maximum of 17 years”. The max is not the typical sentence, which is what I want to know. Realistically what was Hunter BIden facing?

    Nevermind the Tax stuff. I was soooooo looking forward to his gun charge going to court.

    if you don’t know, he was charged with perjury because when you buy a gun you have to check a box that says you haven’t abused drugs in 90 days or some shit. With this SCOUTS, it would be hard to imagine this provision surviving a challenge. After all, if we accept that buying a gun is a right, then some government agency can’t deny you that with an arbitrary rule.

    The gun nuts would be forced to choose between persecuting Trump’s enemies and gun rights.
