Hunter Biden should be charged for lying on his gun application

It is a very misleading argument. Hunter, after all, did not “lie and try.” He got the gun. If he withheld a drug abuse problem that he was required to disclose, that isn’t lying and trying; it’s lying and succeeding.
The purpose of the law is to prevent lethal weapons from falling into the hands of people who are unstable or dangerous. Thus, some of the disqualifications deal with criminal and similarly suspect behavior, such as prior convictions and dishonorable discharge from the armed forces, while others deal with conditions of instability and mental disturbance, such as narcotics abuse and mental-disability adjudications.
And notice what happened in Hunter’s case. He did not reveal his history of drug abuse, he got the gun, and he handled it negligently, to the point, according to reports, that his then-girlfriend found it in a car and carelessly sought to dispose of it in the trash bin of a
local store — obviously, because she was concerned about the dangerous potential of his having it.

Will any of our left wing friends, the ones who won't avoid this thread like the plague like to explain why he shouldn't be charged with lying on a firearms form?
