Opinion
In a recent episode of Four Boxes Diner, Mark Smith, a constitutional attorney and staunch Second Amendment advocate, delved into the implications of Hunter Biden’s conviction on gun-related charges and what it could mean for gun rights in America. The discussion centered around Biden’s upcoming appeal and its potential impact on Second Amendment jurisprudence.
The Case and Its Repercussions
Hunter Biden was convicted for possessing a firearm while being a user of illegal drugs, which is a violation of federal law under 18 USC 922(g). Additionally, he was found guilty of lying on a federal form to purchase the gun. While these charges might seem straightforward, they raise significant questions about how the Second Amendment is applied and interpreted.
Appeal and Potential Implications
Biden’s legal team is expected to argue that the charges against him are unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. This appeal could set a precedent for how the law treats individuals with similar convictions in the future. Specifically, the argument may focus on whether non-violent drug users should lose their right to own firearms, which could potentially reshape gun rights for many Americans.
Two Systems of Justice?
Smith points out a stark contrast in how justice is meted out in cases involving politically influential figures. He highlights the differing approaches taken by prosecutors towards Hunter Biden and former President Donald Trump, suggesting a disparity that reflects a two-tiered justice system. While Biden faces charges for personal misconduct, the scrutiny appears to stop short of implicating his associates or family, unlike the exhaustive investigations often directed at Trump’s allies.
The Bigger Picture
The upcoming appeal could have broader implications for gun rights in America. The central issue is whether the government can restrict gun ownership for non-violent offenders. The outcome of Biden’s appeal might influence future legislation and legal interpretations, potentially affecting a wide range of people who find themselves on the wrong side of similar charges.
What to Watch For
As the case progresses, it’s crucial to keep an eye on the legal arguments presented and the court’s decisions. These developments could either reinforce current gun control measures or lead to a significant rollback, expanding gun rights for non-violent individuals who have run afoul of the law. This case is not just about Hunter Biden; it’s about the future of the Second Amendment and the balance between public safety and individual rights.

It’s time for Congress to pass the Save Hunter Biden Bill – total revocation of 18 U.S. Code § 922 and 924.
Unfortunately Commander in Poopy Pants will pardon him before the appeal. He won’t risk losing the election and not being able to do it. Secondly. This bullsh!t about criminals of any kind that have been paroled or off probation that do t have any rights should be rectified as well. Next time they commit a violent crime especially one using a weapon of any kind end with a switf execution. I find it exhausting that we have all these ridiculous laws that are contrary to simply following a simple document call the Constitution and Bill of Rights. I’m sick of… Read more »
Just having to fill out a form is itself a violation of the 2nd Amendment .. “shall not be infringed” should have meaning instead of just being a suggestion.
