      Are you kidding? 2A rights people will be all over this as it concerns a US citizen who’s just trying to defend himself if necessary. Why would they turn away from this particular case against (checks notes)… yea, you’re right, it’ll be crickets this time from the group who thinks only certain Americans deserve the right to defend themselves with a gun.

      I wish Hunter would fight it as if it was a legitimate 2A rights issue and demand from the 2A folks that they support him so he could spotlight their hypocrisy.

        What’s more interesting here, this particular gun charge has a direct parallel that has been ruled unconstitutional in one of the appeals circuits. It’s not yet made it to the Supreme Court, but it very well could.

        So, it’s even more likely to be unconstitutional, and Republicans are silent on it.

          Republicans having an aneurysm over deciding whether or not to infringe their own rights to own the libs.

      This may unintentionally be the start of firearm reform in America by actually making enforcing accepted practice.

      Starting precedent that lying on a gun license get jail time should have been a non-starter for the 2A crowd.

      Hopefully Hunter will the the first or many to be held responsible for lying to get a firearm .
