EXCLUSIVE: FBI Gun Background Check Database Contains Nearly 14 Million Entries For Illegal Immigrants [More]
S’OK. Hunter’s going to make those unconstitutional.
Plus there’s nothing to stop them from getting ’em the old fashioned way.
Military age men, I’ll bet.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Hunter Biden Threatens to ‘Flee’ America if Donald Trump Reelected [More]
So he admits he’s a flight risk and the prosecutor and judge won’t do anything about it?
If Biden’s motion ultimately prevails, other categories of prohibited persons become vulnerable to challenge, as well as records required to be kept by Federal Firearms Licensees, which themselves have no historical counterpart. The possibilities for reclaiming rights seem boundless. [More]
It would be deliciously ironic if, in saving his own skin, this degenerate saved ours…
“Based on the facts and the law, if Hunter’s last name was anything other than Biden, the charges in Delaware, and now in California, would have not been brought,” Lowell said… [More]
Ever the victim, eh?
What if his last name was Taylor?
My spider sense is telling me Democrats know Joe’s jig is up and are upping the signals to his inner circle that it’s time for him to go.

And leave it to the “real reporters” to make that what the public takes away from all this.

’bout time.
Now let’s see what they do with him.
Hunter Biden legal team may need to overhaul defense strategy in gun case [More]
That drives the timing on resurrecting one FOIA and pressing one complaint:
And point of order on that “second gun”– the (extremely NSFW!) Marco Polo report, at the top of page 282, claims:
“Five days after he illegally obtained a .38 caliber handgun, Hunter solicited a female to the Red Roof Plus+ in Newark. During the tryst, he posed with what he claimed was a black ‘airgun,’” [further identified in a footnote as a] “PT-80 Semi-Auto .177 Cal. CO2 Pellet Pistol 8 shot magazine from GAMO.”
No?
In any case, I’m interested in finding out if any report raised the question of Biden lying on the 4473 before this one.

Hunter Biden, 53, was originally expected to plead guilty to misdemeanor tax counts in an agreement with prosecutors and avoid prosecution on a single gun possession charge related to the 2018 purchase if he stayed clean and out of trouble. [More]
And signed a lifetime “consent to permanent entry” NICS ban, which DOJ has no statutory authority to offer…
Why wouldn’t AP/ABC “real reporters” mention that?

Hey, replacing that bag left in the White House was expensive. Besides, he was counting on the Big Guy’s college loan “forgiveness” to go through…

Speaking of lying to buy a gun…
The request for a roundup of Hunter Biden-related cases alarmed agents because some attendees from DOJ — including Biden political appointees — had no authority in the case. That puts Merrick Garland’s insistence of “no DOJ interference” into serious doubt. [More]
“No authority”…? But what about Hunter’s “privacy”?
This is why I do FOIAs.
And why they resist them.
The citizen disarmament house of cards … may be set to collapse, and “the Big Guy” may have a son who will do anything to save his own skin to thank for it. [More]
It’s like we’re living in an absurdist farce if Hunter Biden, in a drug-fueled orgiastic stupor, ends up doing more to advance the Second Amendment than Wayne LaPierre after decades in charge of the freakin’ NRA…
Hunter Biden pleads not guilty to federal gun charges out of Special Counsel David Weiss’ probe [More]
It would be such sweet poetic justice if he unraveled the Big Guy’s (current) Holy Grail, “universal background checks” with their “prohibited person” disqualifiers.
Plus, once his case is settled I’ll be able to file my follow-up FOIA request and ATF will be fresh out of sustainable excuses.

They’re going after Trump with scorched earth lawfare backed by the might of states in collusion with the feds.

A key prosecutor overseeing the investigation of first son Hunter Biden ignored requests for a briefing on vital evidence — including bribery allegations involving President Biden and his offspring, according to new IRS whistleblower documents released Wednesday by the House Ways and Means Committee. Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.) told reporters Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler had furnished the panel with more than 700 pages of additional messages, emails and documents about their five-year-long investigation… [More]

Hunter Biden sues Rudy Giuliani in latest ‘laptop’ salvo –
The suit accuses Giuliani of contributing to the “annihilation” of his privacy. [More]
Where have we heard that before?
You wanna see “annihilation”…?
From some earlier research I’d done based on the Marco Polo report:
“The text at the bottom of Hunter’s signed invoice clearly stipulated the consequences if he did not return to the repair shop to pick up the laptop: ‘Equipment left with the Mac Shop after 90 days of notification of completed service will be treated as abandoned and you agree to hold the Mac Shop harmless for any damage or loss of property. In the event of nonpayment, The Mac Shop reserves the right to remove any equipment or parts installed.’”
Per an FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin article citing the Supreme Court on “Abandonment of Items Associated with the Person,” and noting that both Biden’s gun and laptop were abandoned, the former being discarded in a supermarket trash bin and the latter through contractually-stipulated abandonment :
“A person has no private or possessory interest in property that was abandoned.”
The questions raised here are bigger than that. They go to the heart of how agencies are empowered to prosecute citizens operate, and what oversight and restraints are in place to keep abuses in check. [More]
What does it say about the administration that it uses all of its legal might to keep from answering them?
Unlawfully usurping authority isn’t the only thing the government is trying to hide in this case, and by that, I mean in relation to guns. [More]
Two big questions concerning unlawful government practices allegations will remain unanswered if a stonewalling DOJ has it’s way and Republicans continue their deliberate indifference.

This was in March– I haven’t been able to determine what happened to the case, if anything yet.
I’m curious to see if he’s been offered the same “consent to permanent entry” deal as Hunter Biden.

Expanding the rules without lawfully delegated authority and based just on their own say-so seems to be the way with these autocratic functionaries.
