U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “A source with knowledge of the situation has revealed … that in October 2018, Hunter Biden’s handgun was taken from his vehicle without his knowledge by Hallie Biden — the widow of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s son Beau — and she placed it in a garbage can outside a Delaware supermarket,” The Blaze reported Thursday.
“Delaware State Police on Thursday told TheBlaze the case was referred for a decision on prosecution to the Delaware Department of Justice, which has not yet returned TheBlaze’s request for comment on this case,” the report elaborates, providing a quick and sure way for doubters and those suspecting “fake news”/“Russian disinformation” and “election interference” from the “right-wing” to verify the allegations for themselves.
Further, we are told “agents from the United States Secret Service as well as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives visited the shop where Hunter Biden purchased the gun” and that they “asked the shop owner for the file on Hunter Biden’s gun purchase — and that a copy was provided.”
“The scenario potentially implicates a number of Delaware laws, including laws that make it a crime to leave a loaded firearm where children might easily retrieve it,” the report notes.
It does a lot more than that, and it leaves open all kinds of questions the American people, and gun owners, in particular, deserve answers for.
Federal Felonies
As The Blaze notes, Hunter Biden’s Secret Service protection ended in 2014. So why were they involved, especially if his claim that he never calls “the big guy” is true?
Why did he even own a gun if, as those endorsing his father insist (if you believe them) that’s the more dangerous choice, for white men and especially for the women they consort with?
And what’s with leaving it unsecured in a car, against all gun safety rules, and against Delaware law? That’s one more gun, as the antis like to call it, “on the streets.” It’s curious that if Hunter’s gun ends up being used by a criminal to kill someone, his father wants to enact edicts to sue the manufacturer and the seller out of existence.
Why, fully two years later, has there been no word from the Delaware Department of Justice? What happened with their “investigation”?
Why, with this new attention, has the department not been forthcoming with details? Why does it appear authorities are still deflecting and obfuscating, and what has to be done to get the details of what decisions were made, what relevant communications and instructions were sent on the disposition of the case, and by whom? With “the big guy” being such a big deal in Delaware, with a Democrat apparatchik attorney general, are we to believe there has been no top-down cover-up to protect the state’s political dynasty?
Perhaps a FOIA inquiry is in order, and I intend to explore the feasibility of that. That is, assuming the federal DOJ, House Oversight, and Senate Judiciary can’t be motivated to involve themselves.
Because the big question I have is did Hunter Biden commit a federal felony when he purchased his gun?
ATF Form 4473, Firearms Transaction Record, Section B.21.e requires the transferee to answer “Yes” or “No” to:
“Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?”
If he’d answered “Yes,” the purchase would have been denied.
It is a matter of record that Biden was discharged from the United States Navy in 2014 after testing positive for cocaine. And his drug abuse has reportedly been ongoing, from his 1998 possession arrest to a crack pipe being found in a rental car he’s damaged in 2016, to the latest revelations from his laptop computer that “includes a raunchy, 12-minute video that appears to show Hunter, who’s admitted struggling with addiction problems, smoking crack while engaged in a sex act with an unidentified woman…”
If Biden answered “No,” as the completed transfer of the firearm proves, this is what he signed and acknowledged:
“I certify that my answers in Section B are true, correct, and complete. I have read and understand the Notices, Instructions, and Definitions on ATF Form 4473 … I understand that a person who answers “yes” to any of the questions 21.b. through 21.k. is prohibited from receiving or possessing a firearm … I also understand that making any false oral or written statement, or exhibiting any false or misrepresented identification with respect to this transaction, is a crime punishable as a felony under Federal law, and may also violate State and/or local law.”
It’s curious that one of Joe Biden’s “proud achievements” is his campaign website claim that he “beat the NRA” on Brady Act background checks:
“In 1993, he shepherded through Congress the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, which established the background check system that has since kept more than 3 million firearms out of dangerous hands.”
If the evidence is to be believed, it did not stop Hunter Biden. And unsurprisingly, that is something that neither Joe Biden, not any of the national “commonsense gun safety groups” want to talk about, which makes suspect what their motives really are. And yes, they do know about it; Joe, Brady, Everytown, Giffords and Moms Demand Action. They just don’t want you to.
Does no one who has bought into their hype and is considering voting for Joe Biden on Tuesday wonder why that might be?

When Hunter filed out the 4473 he was a lawyer and he of all people should know the law and what happens when you lie on a federal form.
I say no mercy for him for his actions, if it had been an average guy who did this he would have already been arrested.
Section 21 (c) also applies. Lil Hunter was discharged from the Navy for fraudulent enlistment. He took an administrative discharge but under those conditions he did so in lieu of trial by courts martial. That is a conviction. Accepting a discharge in lieu of court martial is a conviction. So the question for us serfs is this: are there two sets of laws in this country? We shall see. The Hillary Rule may cast a wider net than thought.
Not the justice system, it’s the “just us” system.
Very good!
Anybody can buy a gun and not go through a background check just buy it from an individual. That is not hard if the price is right. The underground market is alive and well. Only the dumbest of criminals attempts to buy a firearm from a dealer knowing they would need to lie on the form 4473 for that constitutes a felony itself. The black market availability for criminals will never change no matter what law(s) are passed for it is impossible to enforce any law forbidding it. Criminals do not as a rule buy a gun from a dealer. They either steal it or buy… Read more »
Yeah, you have a major problem Houston on the Felon lying on a 4473 form!
The Supreme Court has ruled that a convicted felon cannot be held legally accountable for lying on a 4473, because he or she would be self-incriminating, thus violating that person’s V Amendment right!
However, should a non felon addicted to drugs, or perhaps had an involuntary stay in a mental institution, if that person lies on 4473, they can and will be held accountable for felony charges!
isn’t the logic of the so-called justice system, just adorable?
Cheers from the oil patch in Central Wyoming
since it IS a lawful exemption based on the Fifth Article of Ammendment’s no0self-incrimination clause for a convicted felon ,then it safely follows that ANYONE lying on that form would be exempt on the same basis, as to tell the truth would be self-incriminationg and a denial of one’s rights in accord with the Second Article of Ammendment. And if THAT is the case, the 4483 becomes Kabuki Theatre, as we alll already now it is anyway. It has never stopped anyone from getting a firearm if he hearlly wants one. There is a way of providing access to a… Read more »
Nice catch there. I was not even aware that the sprog had been IN the Navy let alone discharged under less than “honroable” conditions.
So that would be TWO Fed felonies….. not tha ti think either SHOULD be disqualifiers, universally. But we can call for “the law is the law” and pinch his sorry backside. Ten years in a FedPen would look good on him. And al the ittle teenieboper playthings he chases after will go into a deep depression, not having time with HIM to anticipate….. not knowinig they’ve just been heavily mercied.
Restrictive gun laws do nothing to reduce crime and that is a provable fact. However, restricting crime is not the goal of those who write those laws, confiscation is! Those who obey laws or those who do not obey laws are either hindered or assisted by restrictive gun laws. They effect those who obey laws the most by disarming them and assists those who do “not” obey the laws by disarming their victims? Of course common sense dictates that is right in both instances. Both should be obvious to every intelligent citizen of the US. So why isn’t it? Propaganda spread by the communist influenced professors in… Read more »
The gun grabbers really don’t care, they have an agenda and think they will be in heaven if they disarm all the law abiding citizens, they will have the antifa and BLM people for their new police officers to protect them. What could go wrong with that?
Hunter Shmunter who gives a shit what this crackhead is up to. He isn’t running for president. It’s time to drop the hammer on “The Big Guy” for his shady political shenanigans and put him next to Obozo down in Gitmo.
same cell. And Hunger in with them.
I wonder if Joe will take Hunters guns away? Goes to show who will have the second amendment privileges if Biden wins. Not the legal gun owner.
There is no question here. If Joe Wins, it all goes away, all of it, day one. Because thats the kind of people infecting Washington DC.
But, but he had dumb ass liberal privilege!!!
Wasn’t it also Joe Biden who commented a few years back while still serving as VP, that “We don’t have time to track down everybody who may have made a mistake or lied on a form when trying to purchase a gun”? As I recall that was his response when asked why he wanted to ban guns when the feds didn’t take time to process of follow up on failed NICS checks and incorrect information on forms. I guess now we know why. Huh, imagine that. And for what it’s worth: Joe Biden did not take money from China or… Read more »
To answer your last question, those who vote democrat usually only know that they are to look for the “D” on their ballot and mark that one.
It seems the biden crime family is well known and allowed to break the laws everyone else has to obey, just like the rest of those elites in the “D” party.
Well, you know, there’s them and then there’s us. And there are also some like me who just DGAF anymore.
And then there are some of us who still care about the country (and world…) a whole bunch, but that have seen and done enough to now know that one cannot force knowledge upon a sheeple. They need to wake up and smell the coffee (or be destroyed…), but a great many will choose to sleep until whatever ‘authority’ they trust kills them in their sleep. Too bad, so sad…. but we are NOT our brother’s keeper. The bad choices he might make have naught to do with me…. So long as I warned him. That is my focus now.… Read more »
@K; Some people HAVE DONE SOMETHING —- GOOD FOR AMERICA!!!
Good for you, and for any who actually DO anything. It’s just up each of us to decide what that “something” we might do is… but for ourselves! Never let TV or some movie (or books either…) decide that something for one. Decide it for oneself. But that one MUST first make sure he is in possession of reliable information to base those decisions upon. There are a great many scammers out there, feeding lies to the sheeple for fun and profit. Something to be wary of. Wary game makes for an extremely difficult (and mostly unfruitful) hunt. Just hunt… Read more »
From what I understand that is also how some of the people in Europe and Asia began to think during the 20th century also and then a person was elected and became a dictatorship and rounded up all the people who did not give a “F” for they were seen as a threat to the regime right along with those who openly opposed the dictator and marched them to an open pit and had them shot execution style. The pit became their grave. I have a feeling when they discovered their fate they suddenly gave a “F” again. What do you think?
I judge the “rules” by the Book and decide then whether they are worthy of abiding by. That is what I mean by that acronym. Your mileage may vary.
“I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.”

I have found my ability to remember those nuggets is getting harder for me to do. Thanks for posting it.
It gets harder for me too, every year. Welcome to the getting old club!
You know the old saying; “Getting old sure sucks…. but it beats the alternative!!” 🙂
Every day above ground is a, goood, day.
I think that’s a quote from somebody from the old West. Wild Bill Hickock maybe? Sounds like something he might have said, but I can’t remember… [scratches 60 year old empty head] 🙂
Stretching out to three quarters of a century here, I don’t know who said it but there is a truckload of truth in it.
I turned 65 last Thursday.
62 this February.
Relax, you’ll get over it, I did, it’s when you get in your 70’s that time flies so, enjoy the sixties.
another example of the two tier justice system in America. any regular person would have been prosecuted and probably already doing time. the deep state does not what the word impartiality means.
What is new? The fed’s have been covering for the biden crime family for decades. Between the daughter, grand theft and dope, plus joe the sexual predator and hunter the FAMILY is corrupt. Oh hum, wake me up after hillary eliminates joe.

Nothing to see here….Just move along, not a damn thing will happen even if there were 3 yrs of investigation. It will all be blown over & swept under the rug…..Democratic immunity.
It’s also a felony at act as a bag man for Joe Biden in his pay for play scam. It appears Hunter was the bag man and Joe’s brother Jim acted as the money launderer for Joe’s bribes.
