Let’s call this what it is: a disgusting display of political hypocrisy. Over the weekend, President Joe Biden issued a pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, who was convicted of federal firearm felonies.
Remember when Biden claimed he’d never misuse his pardon power? That promise lasted about as long as Hunter’s honesty on a federal gun form.
Double Standards Galore
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) didn’t mince words, calling this pardon a “despicable exercise of the political double standard.” And they’re right.
Every day, regular Americans are convicted for making mistakes on the same federal form Hunter lied on. These aren’t hardened criminals—just folks caught in the web of overcomplicated gun laws, many of whom lose their gun rights for life.
But Hunter? He gets a free pass because Daddy’s the president.
CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb put it bluntly: “This pardon is an affront to all the people who have been convicted and served prison time for falsely filling out the same federal form that Hunter Biden did.”
“Especially those who committed a non-violent crime as a young adult and were never told that they lost the right to own a gun and had no intention of lying,” he added.
So they face life-altering consequences while Hunter walks away unscathed.
Biden’s Legacy: Lies and Hypocrisy
The president’s spokespersons have been insisting for months that Biden wouldn’t intervene in his son’s legal troubles. Yet here we are. As Gottlieb said, Joe Biden has left his “reputation in tatters,” and this pardon only solidifies his legacy as a liar.

Even Biden’s own words come back to haunt him. During the pardon announcement, he had the audacity to claim he’s always told the American people the truth. Gottlieb hit back with the kind of raw honesty that’s hard to ignore:
“The man who declared in his pardon message that he has followed a simple principle throughout his career to ‘just tell the American people the truth,’ has shown he’s nothing more than a pathological liar,” he said.

A Pardon for Lawbreakers, But None for Gun Owners
Hunter Biden’s pardon isn’t just an insult to the justice system—it’s a slap in the face to every law-abiding gun owner in America.
For years, gun owners have been struggling to navigate the labyrinth of restrictive firearm laws, many of which Biden championed. And while they strive to stay on the right side of the law, the president’s own son flagrantly violates it and gets a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Throwback to when a reporter asked KJP if there is any possibility Joe Biden will pardon his son Hunter.

This hypocrisy is why so many Americans distrust politicians who claim they’re only after “common-sense gun laws.” It’s never about fairness—it’s about control. And if you happen to have the right connections, those laws don’t apply to you.
Time to Push Back
This pardon isn’t just about Hunter Biden. It’s about a political elite that plays by a different set of rules than the rest of us.
If you’re tired of being treated like a second-class citizen for exercising your constitutional rights, it’s time to make your voice heard. Join groups like the CCRKBA, support pro-2A candidates, and remind these politicians that they work for us—not the other way around.
