Hunter Biden’s legal team is asking a judge to dismiss the gun charges against him by claiming that the Second Amendment protects their client.
Biden was charged with lying on a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Form 4473 while purchasing a gun from a Delaware gun shop. The son of President Joe Biden stated on a Form 4473 that he was not a user of illicit drugs. Around the same time the younger Biden was buying his firearm, he was addicted to crack cocaine. Lying on a 4473 is a felony.
Biden doesn’t claim he is innocent. His attorney claims that the prohibition of gun ownership by drug addicts is inconsistent with the historical tradition of firearms regulations.
