The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Hunter Biden falsified the form when he bought a pistol. His brother's wife threw it out 11 days later.

There are undoubtedly a lot of right-wing gun owners/buyers who are addicted to 'controlled substances.' What should the penalty be for all these people?

Should the Feds begin cross-checking medical records with records that reveal drug habits?

Is the usual penalty for a non-violent first time offender the max 25 years in prison and $750,000 in fines?

Rush Limbaugh famously was addicted to illegally obtained opiates. Ostensibly he owned a firearm. Was he investigated, fined or imprisoned for either?

"....and so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up," Limbaugh said on Oct. 5, 1995.

"Rush Limbaugh and prosecutors in the long-running prescription fraud case against him have reached a deal calling for the only charge against the conservative commentator to be dropped without a guilty plea if he continues treatment.


Why should Hunter Biden be treated any differently than Limbaugh?

Heck, the big fat 'pants on fire liar' went on to get the medal of freedom from Trump the rapist.
