Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, was indicted Thursday on federal gun charges less than two months after a plea agreement fell apart over tax and gun charges.

The indictment charges Hunter Biden with knowingly deceiving a firearms dealer when buying a Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver on Oct. 12, 2018. He is charged with falsely filling out a federal firearms form denying he was addicted to any narcotics. And he is charged with knowingly possessing the revolver despite the restrictions against drug addicts owning firearms.

Hunter Biden has acknowledged he was a drug addict at the time.

The charges revive the prospect that Hunter Biden could be jailed if convicted and rekindle his role as a lightning rod for political criticism as his father runs for reelection in 2024. He faces a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison if convicted − five years for the false statement to the dealer, 10 years for the false statement on the federal form and 10 years for possession of the firearm − but actual sentences typically are shorter than the maximum, according to the Justice Department.

As a "first time offender", Hunter is unlikely to get 25 years if convicted in open court. He would get a couple years at most plus parole. All you need to do is take a look at the sentences other people got on these type of firearm charges to serve as a guideline of what will happen. I actually expect Hunter's lawyer may plead the charges and arrive at a deal with the prosecutor which provides minimal (or no) time.
 
It's quite enjoyable really that it's charges the Republican extremists hate and will feel drawn to defend him on.

It will result in Dems combing for every senior repugs gun ownership cross checking against any substance abuse.

You think Matt Gaetz is going to be clean for the same?

Oh gee, are the Republican extremists butt-hurt that the DOJ is infringing on Hunter Biden's Second Amendment rights.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals court has ruled that drug users shouldn’t automatically be banned from having guns, marking the latest sign of upheaval in the nation’s firearm legal landscape and raising questions about a law cited in the case against Hunter Biden.

The opinion overturns the conviction of a Mississippi man, Patrick D. Daniels of Gulfport, who had two guns found in his car during a traffic stop last year and acknowledged using marijuana regularly but wasn’t accused of driving under the influence.

The appeals court cited the 2022 U.S. Supreme Court decision known as New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which said gun laws must have strong historical roots — a finding that led to challenges of many of the nation’s gun laws
