Report: ATF ‘Skeptical’ of Charging Hunter Biden

Wendell Husebø1 Jun 202310

Officials at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) were reportedly “skeptical” of bringing gun-related charges against Hunter Biden due to his having no prior criminal history.

On a form dated March 25, 2018, Hunter Biden may have lied about his history of drug use when filling out ATF Form 4473 for a gun purchase. The punishment for false answers on that form includes fines up to $250,000 and/or ten years of imprisonment.

But a source told the New York Times:

Quote
Officials at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives responsible for reviewing Mr. Biden’s file were skeptical of bringing charges against him, especially considering that he had sought treatment and had no prior criminal history, according to another person with knowledge of the situation.

The form asks questions such as:

Quote
Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance? Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside.

The form permits a “yes” or “no” answer.

Um, like, ah, what about social justice, and stuff?  Would ATF have made that decision if Hunter was a minority?

Why would that matter?  Does the statute make enforcement dependent on whether the defendant has a prior criminal history or is seeking treatment?

:pondering: Is the 'ATF', or is that the 'AFT' under Brandon, setting a precedent for other criminals or those charge under similar circumstances to use as a defense?
