There has been a stunning turn of events in the Hunter Biden case.
And there are significant Second Amendment implications.
You’ll never believe what Hunter Biden’s judge just ruled about the Second Amendment.
The Biden family is not exactly known for being big fans of the Second Amendment, but when it becomes convenient for one of them to utilize it, they don’t miss the opportunity.
One of the most serious charges against Hunter Biden involves firearms, and he is trying to make a Second Amendment defense to the judge in his case.
This is ironic, as his dad is currently in the White House and doing everything he can to unwind gun rights for Americans.
But that isn’t stopping his son Hunter from trying to get out of his criminal charges by asserting his gun rights in front of a judge.
However, he was shocked when the judge handed down a ruling against him and said the Second Amendment couldn’t be exercised in his case at the moment.
Perhaps now Hunter Biden knows how most gun-owning Americans feel when the government doesn’t respect their constitutional right to bear arms.
According to the Washington Times, “A federal appeals court dismissed Hunter Biden’s attempt to derail his upcoming trial on gun charges, ruling Tuesday that his claims of Second Amendment protection have to be argued later.
“The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the case is not yet at the stage where it can hear an appeal and Mr. Biden must face trial.”
Here is what the court said: “The defendant’s Second Amendment defense does not implicate a right not to be tried that can be collaterally appealed. Constitutional defenses, like the defendant’s Second Amendment defense, can be effectively reviewed on appeal after final judgment.”
This is bad news for Hunter Biden, who may not have any defenses left if this one falls apart.
But maybe this will lift the scales from his eyes so he can better understand the need for Second Amendment protections in this country.
The article continues, “The trial of the president’s son is set to start next week in a federal courtroom in Delaware. He is charged with possessing a gun as an unlawful drug user and with lying on the federal firearms purchase background check form about his drug use.
“He argued that the Second Amendment protects his right to bear arms and that the federal law barring drug users from owning weapons is unconstitutional.”
This begs the obvious question of whether his father agrees with his argument that these laws restricting gun ownership are unconstitutional.
It would be a major reversal for one of the most anti-gun politicians of our time to suddenly change course and argue for drug users to have their gun rights reinstated.
But that is exactly what Hunter Biden apparently believes should be the case and is arguing in court.
The Biden family might not have much respect for the Second Amendment, but they’re more than happy to use it when it benefits them.
