Hunter Biden – Rules for Thee, Not for Me

by Michael Ware | Jun 20, 2023

Hunter Biden appears to have sailed on responsibility and accountability with as little as a hug and a kiss.  I won’t even call his “punishment” a slap on the wrist, as it doesn’t even rise to that level of notice.  Rather than a wrist slap for Hunter Biden, this is a slap in the face to Americans at large.  I read a bit over on ammoland.com earlier, about young Biden’s tentative deal to “plead guilty to two federal times,” as he also “agreed to enter a so-called pretrial diversion agreement in connection with a charge of possession of a firearm by a person who is a user or addict of illegal drugs.”

I was getting texts all day today from outraged people.  Here are just a few from friends, and colleagues, along with Congresswoman Ashley Hinson and Senator Joni Ernst:

Rules for Thee but not for Me, huh Michael?

Sounds about right, Matt.  My fellow board member at IFC, Richard Rogers, offered this one up:

I don’t believe Hunter is even being confronted with lying on the Form 4473, a felony. I think the issue at hand is his “illegal possession” of the handgun that he purchased with that form. I think that is also a felony, but I understand that he has NOT pled guilty and that he is likely to have the charge essentially dismissed in some manner – not convicted or placed on probation. Thus he will presumably NOT lose his RKBA! His case is being essentially suspended while he is placed in a “pre-trial diversion” program – probably drug counselling and the like. If he completes the program satisfactorily (probably quite subjective determination on that) and keeps his nose clean of new crimes, he likely won’t even have a trial on the gun charge. It will just go away.

Oh, and there was this nugget that gave me a moment of pause as well:

This week 20 armed IRS agents raided an FFL under suspicion of under-reporting income.  And Hunter Biden pleads to nearly nothing and skates with misdemeanors???

-Brian B

Yes, it appears that way.  Seriously folks, what American in his 50s doesn’t know he needs to file his taxes each year?  How bloated with hryvnia (Ukrainian National Currency) and carelessness does one have to be to simply forget to file a 1040?  What level of ignorantly blissful apathy must one possess in order to draw air while behaving this stupidly?  And this has nothing to say about the “nothing to see here” felony charge for knowingly lying on an ATF 4473 form that was glossed over.  As an FFL Dealer myself, President Joe Biden trotted out a list of “no tolerance” items that result in the revocation of your license.  A single MISTAKE on the same 4473 ATF form young Biden lied on, and dealers have their businesses taken away.

Let that sink in.  Hunter lies on the same form you’d be sent to prison over, and I’d lose my livelihood over, and he walks without being charged.  If you had lied on that form, you’d be charged and convicted.  I have friends that have lost their FFL over an inadvertent mistake on the same form.  I ask you…  Does this sound like justice?  Representative Hinson didn’t think so:

How ironic that Hunter Biden gets a slap on the wrist for a felony gun charge while this Administration has made it their mission to go after law-abiding gun owners with everything they’ve got. I’ll continue fighting the Biden Administration’s gun grabs and relentless attacks on our Second Amendment rights and will always staunchly defend Iowans’ right to keep and bear arms. – Rep Ashley Hinson

And Senator Ernst had this to say:

Biden’s corrupt DOJ continues to cover up for Hunter Biden by letting him off the hook for his illegal actions. Apparently, the Biden administration’s zero-tolerance policy for gun violations applies to everyone but Hunter Biden. The bias for the Biden Crime Family is clear: while the son of a sitting President who lied to illegally obtain a firearm only receives a slap on the wrist, the Biden administration continues to attack the Second Amendment rights of lawful gun owners in pursuit of its unconstitutional anti-gun agenda. The American people have had enough of this double standard of justice.” -Senator Joni Ernst.

All these folks are right.  You’ve got political advocates, freedom-loving citizens, Representatives, and Senators all singing the same hymn.  This isn’t an accident and there is no conspiracy here.  This is a plain and simple example of the two-tiered justice system erected and propagated by the same folks that gave us all Jim Crow.  There should be no surprise among you.

You can expect this from 3rd World governments, but America?
