Guilty On All 3 Felony Gun Charges
Hunter Biden Verdict is in: Hunter Biden has been found guilty on all charges in his historic criminal case focused on a 2018 firearm purchase. The case highlighted issues of firearm safety and responsible gun ownership.
WILMINGTON, DELAWARE (2-minute read) — Hunter Biden has been found guilty on all charges in his historic criminal case centered on his 2018 purchase of a firearm. The trial, which lasted over a week, included emotional testimonies from his family, including his daughter Naomi Biden, ex-wife Kathleen Buhle, and sister-in-law turned girlfriend, Hallie Biden.
Prosecutors successfully demonstrated that Hunter Biden lied on a federal firearm form, ATF Form 4473, in October 2018 when he falsely indicated he was not an unlawful user of, or addicted to, controlled substances. The firearm was purchased at StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply in Wilmington.
Biden faced several charges: making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed gun dealer, and possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance. Despite pleading not guilty, the evidence of his drug abuse history, vividly documented in his 2021 memoir “Beautiful Things,” proved critical. In his memoir, Biden details his struggle with addiction, including his need to smoke crack cocaine every 20 minutes and his interactions with various drug dealers.
Biden’s actions in falsifying information on a federal form highlight the risks and consequences of circumventing legal requirements. Ensuring the accuracy of background checks and truthful declarations on forms like the ATF Form 4473 is crucial for public safety.
Safety Tip: Always provide accurate information on firearm purchase forms and understand the legal requirements and responsibilities of gun ownership. Ensuring truthful and complete disclosures helps maintain public safety and compliance with the law.
