Did Hunter ever even buy ammunition for the gun? Is there any record of that? But regardless of that, having only been in possession of the gun for 11 days, I can't believe this case will go anywhere.

Also, the first two of the three counts in the indictment are virtually identical and the third is an obviously result of the first two. This is the summary, courtesy of CNN:

- Count One accuses Hunter Biden of lying on an ATF form when he bought the gun, by falsely swearing that he wasn't addicted to illegal drugs or using illegal drugs.
- Count Two accuses Hunter Biden of lying to the federally licensed gun dealer in Wilmington where he bought the gun. The alleged lie was related to the same sworn statement on the ATF form.
- Count Three accuses Hunter Biden of illegally possessing the gun while using drugs or being addicted to drugs, which is a federal crime. He possessed the gun for 11 days in 2018.

So, Hunter lied on the ATF form, he lied to the gun dealer (was it the same lie?), and then he (obviously) possessed the gun that he just bought (for 11 days). This sure sounds like one charge to me.

It really does seem like Weiss only brought the indictment (after a jury found the charges reasonable?) because the statute of limitations would run out next month, and because he under pressure by republicans to DO SOMETHING simply because this was the son of Joe Biden.

Also, I will laugh my butt off if this case ends up being dismissed on 2nd amendment grounds! Hey, Albaby - is there any realistic legal ground for that?
