Jamie Raskin describes Hunter Biden lying on a federal firearms form to buy a gun, a felony carrying up to 10 years in jail, that he then tossed in a trash can behind a school as a "rich guy exercising his second amendment rights." pic.twitter.com/LJkwvR18hQ

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA), based in Bellevue, Washington, has criticized Maryland’s Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin. They argue that Raskin downplayed Hunter Biden’s illegal firearm purchase by framing it as a wealthy individual exercising his Second Amendment rights.
CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb expressed his incredulity, saying, “I’m not sure whether to shake my head in disgust or just laugh out loud.” Gottlieb harshly criticized Raskin’s stance, indicating that Biden’s actions would normally be considered serious crimes.
Biden, son of the US president, recently accepted a plea for lesser drug charges. He also negotiated a deal regarding his admitted firearms violation. This agreement requires him to avoid legal trouble for two years, enabling him to retain his Second Amendment rights.

In contrast, ordinary citizens providing false information on a Form 4473 could face felony charges, prison, and loss of gun rights.
“Jamie Raskin needs to understand something about federal gun laws,” Gottlieb observed. “Typical rich guys exercising their Second Amendment rights don’t get stoned on drugs before they go gun shopping. Rich guys buying guns don’t lie on a Form 4473 and expect to get away with it. Rich guys don’t allow their girlfriends to toss handguns into dumpsters located near public schools. And rich guys, and even poor guys, don’t get special treatment from federal prosecutors regarding gun-related crimes unless their last name is Biden and their dad is president.”
Gottlieb identified this case as an appalling instance of dual-standard justice. He suggested that if anyone else received this level of leniency for a gun law violation, Raskin and his fellow Democrats would protest loudly.
“Raskin never met a restrictive gun control law he didn’t immediately love,” Gottlieb continued, “until the law could be used to put a Biden behind bars. Then, all of a sudden, the Maryland congressman tries to portray the allegations against Hunter Biden to be an attack on the Second Amendment. The hypocrisy is staggering.”
Raskin made his remarks on Wednesday during a House Oversight Committee hearing, where IRS whistleblowers alleged that the FBI, IRS, and DOJ interfered with a probe into possible Biden family misconduct.

"It appeared to me…that the U.S. attorney in Delaware…was constantly hamstrung, limited, and marginalized by DOJ officials as well as other U.S. attorneys. I still think that a special counsel is necessary for this… pic.twitter.com/Wq3EQbFr9O

I agree, Mr. Hunter gets a “pass” due to his “PREVILEDGE” and influence and “Daddy” being the POTUS. (1 Level)
Minorities get a “pass” due to their ” suffering and systematic racism” – NEVER fully charged with “Gun Crimes” already on the books – just plea bargain them away… (2 Level)
Joe Six Pack – gets the complete FURY of the LAW – should know better – we will set an example to ALL THE WORLD by sentencing HIM! (3 Level)
Rich guy? Isn’t he claiming he’s broke so he doesn’t have to pay child support and had someone else pay his tax bill.
Typical liberal hack talking out of both sides of his mouth.
What’s with the rag on this dummy’s head?
I think it has to do with chemotherapy.
Maybe he does some welding on the side , and forgot
to remove the cap prior to arrival at “ the big show “ .
The rag is supposedly for cancer?? or something. I am sure there are other ways not to look like a Middle Eastern Terrorist, but his choice. A very loonEy guy.
