Hunter is still the world's biggest fuckhead, a presidential pardon
notwithstanding.

Sure, Hunter isn't a shining example of humanity but that still didn't
justify the way they went after him.

WTF? He committed actual crimes. The gun crime thing is particularly galling
coming from an administration that made a point of going after other Americans
for owning guns while smoking weed during the four years they were in office.
Biden's BATF was on a crusade. But when Hunter does the same thing and lies on
his gun application to boot, we're supposed to think it's nothing but politics
when he's held to the same standard as everyone else by the BATF?

Yeah.

The gun-rights advocates whom I might respect, who might feel that there
are too many restrictions but would emphasize gun safety and
responsibility and training and target practice, would NEVER advocate
for the rights of drug abusers to own guns.

There isn't any controversy about applying the law Hunter Biden violated
to Hunter Biden's situation among either gun rights advocates or gun
control advocates. Everyone would universally agree that someone who
isn't sober shouldn't own nor possess a gun.
