This means he lied on an <a href=\"https:\/\/formspal.com\/pdf-forms\/atf-4473\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ATF Form 4473<\/a> when he bought the gun, which asks if the buyer is an unlawful user of or addicted to drugs.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Anyone who answers that question in the affirmative is denied their right to purchase a gun, such as the pistol Biden bought.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Biden&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/johnny-depp-to-be-called-back-to-stand-today-as-explosive-trial-winds-down-report\/\" title=\"Johnny Depp To Be Called Back To Stand Today As Explosive Trial Winds Down: Report\">legal team plans<\/a> to use recent legal precedent to protect him from charges, should they come down. They intend to cite a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-supreme-court-limits-federal-power-wetlands-boosts-property-rights-clean-water\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Supreme Court<\/a> ruling that has been championed by some gun rights proponents.<\/p>\n<h3>Could This Legal Tactic Work?<\/h3>\n<p>The Supreme Court ruling in question is the case of New York State Rifle &#038; Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen, which ruled that a New York law requiring people to be licensed to carry guns in public is unconstitutional. Hunter Biden&#8217;s legal team plans to use this ruling, along with other challenges to gun laws, to argue that he was within his Second Amendment rights to purchase the handgun.<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s not clear how successful this legal tactic will be, it could potentially lead to the relaxing of some restrictions on the right to bear arms.<\/p>\n<h3>The Consequences of Lying on ATF Form 4473<\/h3>\n<p>Lying on ATF Form 4473 can carry a sentence of up to 15 years in prison and\/or a $250,000 fine. The Justice Department is currently investigating Hunter Biden for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/antivirus-software-entrepreneur-john-mcafee-tries-to-halt-extradition-to-u-s-over-alleged-tax-crimes\/\" title=\"Antivirus software entrepreneur John McAfee tries to halt extradition to U.S. over alleged tax crimes\">alleged tax crimes<\/a> and the alleged purchase of the gun under false pretenses.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen how Biden&#8217;s legal team will argue against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-to-claim-second-amendment-protects-his-right-to-own-a-gun-while-addicted-to-crack-report\/\" title=\"Report: Hunter Biden claims Second Amendment protects his right to own gun while addicted to crack.\">potential financial crimes charges<\/a>, but they are clearly prepared to use the Second Amendment to protect him from the charge of lying on the ATF form.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this case highlights the ongoing debate over gun rights and the Second Amendment, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out in the coming months.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Key Takeaways:<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Hunter Biden&#8217;s attorneys plan to argue that he was within his Second Amendment rights to purchase a handgun while addicted to crack cocaine.<\/li>\n<li>They intend to use a Supreme Court ruling and other challenges to gun laws to protect him from charges.<\/li>\n<li>Lying on ATF Form 4473 can carry a sentence of up to 15 years in prison and\/or a $250,000 fine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hunter-biden-claim-second-amendment-protects-right-gun-addicted-crack-report\/\">The Western Journal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hunter Biden&#8217;s lawyers plan to argue that he was exercising his Second Amendment rights when he bought a handgun in 2018, despite his admission of crack cocaine addiction.
