The 2nd is Supreme

I have seen a great many so-called Conservatives supporting this Hunter Biden conviction. Poppycock.

The 2nd Amendment comes with no asterisks. It comes without error. It bears burden of neither interpretation nor hardship. It is clear. It shall not be infringed. The Hunter Biden conviction is an infringement.

The most devastating piece of this ruling is a simple clerical error on a form can cause Federal prosecution. A single mis-checked item is grounds for a Federal Prosecution. If the Department of Justice so decided, it could pull hundreds of millions of these forms and dig for errors. This is a clear case of the DoJ being granted the authority to shop for crimes rather than finding a crime and shopping for perpetrators. This is turning the system on its head. Hallie Biden stole and then illegally disposed of a firearm, where are her charges?

The authorities found a gun. It is unsafe to dispose of a gun by throwing it into the trash, this is unquestionable. Like dangerous chemicals, guns should be disposed of properly of course. How did the person who performed this act walk free? All Hunter did was buy a gun and keep it; why was he prosecuted while the person who unsafely discarded the gun was not? This is a clear attempt to create a precedent to go after legal gun holders for doing nothing. This is a power grab by the system and nothing less.

A true, Republican, Constitutional Conservative will denounce this prosecution, trial, and conviction. Full stop. We need to use this as one measure by which we judge our candidates. We need to vet our candidates wholly. Nothing less is acceptable.
