While Democrats are often not honest about their intentions, this has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/03\/27\/opinion\/john-paul-stevens-repeal-second-amendment.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">always been their true agenda<\/a>. Biden\u2019s son, Hunter, who <a href=\"https:\/\/thefdrlst.wpengine.com\/2021\/03\/25\/report-hunter-biden-may-have-lied-on-federal-background-check-form-to-purchase-a-gun\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">appeared to purchase a gun illegally<\/a> in 2018, could be among those hardest hit.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday night, the president went on a nearly 20-minute tirade on the need to ban \u201cassault weapons,\u201d whatever that means.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy in God\u2019s name should an ordinary citizen be able to purchase an assault weapon that holds 30-round magazines that let mass shooters fire hundreds of bullets in a matter of minutes,\u201d Biden said, ranting on the graves of the 19 children and their two teachers gunned down by a madman in Uvalde, Texas last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines,\u201d demanded the president. \u201cAnd if we can\u2019t ban assault weapons, then we should raise the age to purchase them from 18 to 21. Strengthen the background checks, enact safe storage laws and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws. Repeal the immunity that protects gun manufacturers from liability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For starters, suing gun manufacturers for the way their firearms are used is akin to suing the Ford Motor Company because a\u00a0black suspect\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/11\/24\/suspect-charged-in-waukesha-tragedy-called-for-violence-against-white-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">motivated by anti-white racism<\/a>\u00a0allegedly plowed through a Wisconsin Christmas parade, brutally killing at least\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/11\/23\/us\/waukesha-car-parade-crowd-tuesday\/index.html\">six<\/a> with Ford Escape SUV. In stark contrast to his immediate visits to Buffalo and Uvalde following mass tragedies, Biden made no trip to console the families of Waukesha, Wisconsin, nor did he demand Congress take on the car lobby. <\/p>\n<p>Biden summarized his demands in a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS\/status\/1532507149770817542?s=20&#038;t=2vIuBLhRILcQalx1x_68QA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tweet<\/a> calling on lawmakers to pass new gun bans and repeal immunity laws for firearm manufacturers that <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/08\/heres-the-full-list-of-every-lie-joe-biden-has-told-as-president-169-and-counting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">don\u2019t exist<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>An easy giveaway that Democrats aren\u2019t ever actually serious about solving the underlying issues whenever tragedy strikes with firearm, Federalist Senior Editor David Harsanyi <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/05\/25\/dont-surrender-to-do-somethingism-on-guns\/\">points out<\/a>, are that the laws they routinely propose never would have prevented the carnage in the first place. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Biden-Gun-Tweet.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-273423\" width=\"607\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Biden-Gun-Tweet.jpg 871w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Biden-Gun-Tweet-300x275-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Biden-Gun-Tweet-768x703-1.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Details aside, President Biden doesn\u2019t have room to speak on gun control until his son faces, at minimum, a substantive criminal investigation into his answers on a background check when purchasing a firearm in 2018. <\/p>\n<p>When asked by the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/03\/26\/read-the-gun-background-check-form-where-hunter-biden-claimed-he-wasnt-using-drugs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Firearms Transaction Record (Form 4473)<\/a> whether he is an \u201cunlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance,\u201d Hunter Biden answered, \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s unclear whether Hunter was an active user at the time, it\u2019s far from inconceivable following repeated rehab visits in 2003, 2010, and 2014 for treatment with highly addictive substances. In 2014, Hunter was discharged from the Navy for cocaine use, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2019\/07\/08\/will-hunter-biden-jeopardize-his-fathers-campaign\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according<\/a> to the New Yorker, went on another cocaine binge in 2016. <\/p>\n<p>Three years later, the president\u2019s son abandoned his laptop at a Delaware repair shop. It possessed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-8901717\/Hunter-Bidens-laptop-lays-bare-world-depravity-makes-target-blackmail.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">graphic footage <\/a>of the first son appearing to smoke crack cocaine during sexual encounters. In 2018, the same year Hunter purchased the revolver <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/03\/25\/report-secret-service-tried-to-clean-up-biden-family-mess-in-hunters-missing-gun-incident\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">apparently found abandoned in the garbage<\/a> by Secret Service, the younger Biden was <a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2019\/11\/26\/hunter-biden-suspected-of-smoking-crack-in-dc-strip-clubs-vip-room\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">suspected<\/a> of smoking crack in a D.C. strip club. <\/p>\n<p>Lying on a Form 4473 to purchase a firearm is a felony offense that can carry up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Before Biden goes on lecturing Americans about responsible gun ownership and threatening to regulate ownership out of existence, some self-reflection is warranted. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Tristan Justice is the western correspondent for The Federalist.
