Why Are Gun-Control Groups So Quiet on Hunter Biden?

So, Politico dropped a bombshell this Wednesday, and it’s comedy gold. The heavy hitters of gun control are tiptoeing around Hunter Biden’s felony conviction like it’s hot lava.

Politico reports:

The nation’s top gun control groups are awkwardly avoiding talking about Hunter Biden’s gun conviction — and his widely expected appeal on Second Amendment grounds.

Why the sudden hush from the usually vocal groups? Not a peep on the case, nor on the gnarly legal tangle it presents, just as they’re pumping up the volume for Biden’s reelection.

It’s like, “Nothing to see here, folks!”

Politico goes on to say:

Not a single one commented on the case or the broader legal question, underscoring how uncomfortable the politics around the case are for the gun control groups pushing hard for Biden’s reelection.

But oh, someone did talk—under the cloak of anonymity, of course.

They told Politico, “That’s all about politics. This is just: ‘No, we’re not going to get in the middle of this shitstorm. Nothing good can come of it.’”

They’re right about it being a “shitstorm.”  The president’s son is a crackhead and now a convicted felon! However, they’re wrong about it being all politics.  It’s not.

It’s a prime showcase that our existing laws can actually handle the job when a prohibited person — the president’s son no less — tries to sneak around them to obtain a gun.

Mark Oliva from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) chipped in his two cents to GunsAmerica, making that very point.

“The jurors deciding this case were emphatic that Hunter Biden’s conviction has nothing to do with politics but with equal and fair application of law,” Oliva told us via email.

He points out that lying on the 4473 to snag a firearm is a felony that could land you with up to 15 years behind bars and a $250,000 fine.

What’s more, is that the NSSF has done the legwork to get this info out to the public.

Just last week, in fact, NSSF’s top dog Joe Bartozzi stood shoulder to shoulder with ATF Director Steven Dettelbach, drumming up a campaign in Northern Virginia against illegal straw purchases. You know, where someone fibs on their form to make an illegal buy for someone else.

Now Hunter wasn’t trying to score a handgun for another party. But he did lie on the form.

He was up to his ears in crack and still checked ‘no’ on the 4473 where it asks about illicit drug use. Clear as day, the guy was a no-go for gun ownership under federal law, as Oliva noted.

Point is, this wasn’t a politically motivated attack on the president’s son, nor was it lawfare. It was the wheels of justice grinding as they should — impartially and with precision.

So, what’s up with the gun-control choir’s silence?

One can argue that this isn’t just about sidestepping a PR nightmare; it’s a blatant case of pick-and-choose activism, where inconvenient truths are conveniently swept under the rug.

For starters, the laws we have are effective when universally applied. Despite the clamor for more, additional regulations are wholly unnecessary.

Moreover, the very candidate they’re backing to limit the 2A rights of law-abiding citizens now sees his own son facing potential jail time for gun charges. There’s a word for that: Irony?!

Lastly, with Hunter filing an appeal, he’s clearly trying to dodge his comeuppance. This begs the question: how can gun-control advocates rally behind Joe Biden, who’s pushing for more laws, when his own son is attempting to sidestep the existing ones?

Acknowledging the impact of Hunter’s case was the perfect litmus test for their integrity. And they failed it, miserably. No wonder why you can hear a pin drop.

    one thing to consider – they’ll use the example of “illicit drugs” checkbox on many forms remains unchecked for people who might say, smoke marijuana? etc — these are now felons. and felons cannot own legally possess firearms. so they may be quiet while they prepare this argument and anyone busted for a DUI or even “red flagged” as a smoker or doing “edibles” could be at risk for this type of attack on your rights. after all, no one is above the law?
    on the plus side, it could also be the much needed push to get it all rescinded as the ATF itself is an infringement…

    A friend of mine claims that on Hunter’s lap top from the trial has videos of Hunter beating on very, very young girls that seem to be Chinese prostitutes. I have never found anything to confirm those claims but the lap top is now acknowleged to belong to Hunter. Maybe now the the slew of retired intel ‘experts’ can be forced to testify before the House and suffer some consequences. The Biden son like the perverted, puppet father are very bad people and the deep state protects these low life assets.

    It doesn’t fit their narrative, show trial to say “ no one is above the law”. I know it and any sane person knows its bullshit but idiot democrats will eat that up because they are brain dead that only vote D.

    The Firearms Policy Coalition ( FPC ) offered their expertise with the case. The offer was rejected by the Biden team. This guy writing this story is full of crap.

    And who doesn’t understand this is a ‘Red herring’ ? Compared to his Ukraine debacle, this is small stuff. And Daddy WILL pardon him, so they get what they want, they can claim he faced Justice, while they stay rich and he gets off. Never trust ANY Democrat, and eye the Republicans with deep suspicion.

    LMAO if this crackhead appeals on the grounds that submitting to a NICS check and filing a 4473 violate his 2A rights.
    Please do it!
