A plea agreement between federal prosecutors and Hunter Biden fell apart Wednesday after the judge refused to sign off on a deal that would have seen the president's son enter guilty pleas to two misdemeanor tax charges and enter a diversion program in lieu of pleading guilty to a felony gun possession count. After the deal collapsed, Hunter Biden entered a not guilty plea. Chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett anchored CBS News' special report.
It would be interesting if there was a X v Biden case to cite in favor of gun rights.
It seems like on paper drug use is still a felony and lying on the background check form is also something people can get charged over. Should we end the war on drugs and legalized things federally? Sure, but thats not what the law is right now.
If anything it seems like the question is more of a 5th amendment issue unless they want to argue there shouldn’t be background checks. Really it feels like people should be able to fill out the personal info and get the check done without answering other questions. Isn’t the NICS supposed to verify all the important things anyway?
