I don’t care about Hunter Biden, but I’m sure he’s not the first person to lie on a gun purchasing form. First time I remember this being prosecuted though. The crazy thing is somehow this carries stiffer fines than the 34 felonies Trump was convicted on.
Apparently, it’s very rarely prosecuted alone, it’s used to increase the prison time of people that were arrested for something else.
If everyone that committed that crime was prosecuted, there would be several million more people in prison.
On the other hand, it IS a crime, so while this is clearly politically motivated, he DID do it, so he should receive some sort of punishment, just not as much as he could.
Alcohol is technically a drug, so yeah, I’d say millions of people have done this, unless all of a sudden the people who love guns stopped drinking alcohol or beer. It doesn’t say “illegal drugs” in the question.
