There is a federal statute that covers that and makes it a crime? If so, I would like to see a link.

looks like a typo, probably meant federal gun crime, Hunter looks to have lied on his form 4473 to obtain his handgun in 2018.
"In order to purchase a firearm from an FFL, a buyer must fill out a Form 4473. The form asks, “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?” Hunter answered “no” to this question.
Lying on a form 4473 is two separate crimes. It is a crime when a person “knowingly makes any false statement or representation with respect to the information required by this chapter to be kept in the records of a person licensed under this chapter,” such as the Form 4473. A violation of this provision is punishable by up to 5 years imprisonment. It is also a crime for a person to “make any false or fictitious oral or written statement” to a dealer “with respect to any fact material to the lawfulness of the sale.” A violation of this provision is punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment."

So, what I'm seeing lately is a slew of stories about non-prosecution of rioters. And, of course, the prosecution and gun seizing of the St. Louis couple protecting themselves from rioters on their private property.
The message is crystal clear - if you want to look and riot (you know, in a "mostly peaceful protest") you can do that to your heart's content. If you want to protect yourself, family, and property from rioters on your private property you will be prosecuted.

I'm more offended he doesn't like Asian women. I mean, really, WTF is wrong with this guy?

According to the first article:
And there were prosecutions:
In the case of the St Louis couple, they were brandishing guns against a crowd who (according to the prosecutor) "simply made a wrong turn on their way to protest in front of the mayor’s house" - and the crowd engaged in no violence, looting or rioting of any kind.
There were multiple videos and pictures of the McCloskey's, so they worked out a plea deal, pledging guilty to misdemeanor charges (like many of those who did in NY).

On the first I can link articles from all over the country - Portland, Minny, NY, etc. Big city prosecutors are simply dropping these cases.
On the second, the video is out there on how the crowd was acting. It's all there.

Did I miss the violence against the McCloskey's or their property? I don't recall seeing that in any video.
The crowd was walking past and chanting like they did to all the other homes in the neighborhood on their way to the mayor's place. If the McCloskey's had stayed indoors, the crowd would have continued past their property and no one would have bothered them.
He is an attorney. How they could not expect some legal consequences from brandishing an assault weapon and a gun in front of the crowd?

Good to see there are still some lefties with ethical values.

The only violence was that 1 guy who was holding a long gun as reported all over the right wing media and fb memes.....that turned out to be a microphone.

Hunter Biden’s artwork is actually good and will be worth a lot, experts say
Scandal-tarnished first son Hunter Biden’s newfound career as a painter may actually prove to be a success — as experts say his artwork is impressive and will fetch big bucks.
“I think it’s pretty strong — I like it,’’ Mark Tribe, chairman of the MFA Fine Arts Department at New York City’s School of Visual Arts, told The Post.
“The colors and compelling organic forms — it’s the kind of organic abstraction that I find easy on the eyes and provokes your curiosity,’’ Tribe said of the mixed-media paintings and drawings by President Biden’s son.

I agree it becomes an avenue to collect anonymous money, which is worrisome…..
…but I do think his art is pretty cool.
Sand
Footballguy
Well, yes.
And I don't see what's so special about these to get into six figures. Some of it looks good, but I can head down to Jackson Square and find some incredibly good art for a couple orders of magnitude less.
Yes and you can buy a painting by a guy named Jackson that looks like a bunch of paint splatters if you can find one for sale and have millions and millions of dollars squirreled away. Truth is art, like real estate, is worth whatever a person is willing to pay for it. Who a person is that made the art certainly affects that price.

Yeah, I don’t really get the world of fine art or understand it. The range given, if I recall, was pretty wide. A talented artist may never get the attention to or exposure of deep pocket buyers as easily as the son of the president, which makes sense but also could be exploited. I’m curious what gw bush’s paintings would go for but it doesn’t appear he has sold any of them (that I could find).

So it is all supposed to be anonymous, but he gets to meet prospective buyers beforehand? I can't believe the Whitehouse is letting him go through with this. Bad look imo.

It's not about whether or not they can stop him. It's how his actions reflect on his father, and ultimately the Democratic party & our country.

How do you know this? He never has before despite his son cashing in on his name and making him look bad. And that's putting the previous incidents in the best light I can.
No one posting here knows whether he has or hasn't. Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't. Lord knows, if I had a nickel for every time I tell my kids to do something and they ignore me...
Why are you answering for someone who made the declarative statement that Biden DID in fact ask Hunter not to do this? I agree with you, and that is why I am asking someone who is sure Biden did ask his kid not to do something how he knows that.

You literally just made the opposite declarative statement, "He never has before..." None of us know.
Actually when asked about his son's dealings Biden has made it pretty clear he is hands off. That's not from me. That's from Joe himself.

If this were Trumps kid he'd have been tarred and feathered and cancelled.......I didnt even know about this until today.....granted, I don't pay much attention to the media in general, but I think my point stands. The mainstream media is left leaning, therefore, they are biased towards their guys.

There is ZERO debate on that. Not only are they biased, they proactively protect them by not reporting negative stories but then go hard after conservatives. They also get softball interviews and fluff pieces.

It would be insane if he hadn't. It is bad for Joe when Hunter does anything like this. Of course he wants him to stop. The other side is of course Hunter is going to do it anyhow.

What I don't understand about this whole thing is that the admin is doing exactly what they should not be doing. The buyers should be disclosed to the public...not hidden.
The whole idea that Hunter would only know the buyers if they were disclosed through the buying process requires you to believe that it is impossible for the buyers to disclose themselves to Hunter privately. Of course they can. The only people they would be hidden from...are us.
But all of that is just a sideshow to the idea that this guy goes from sitting on the board of an burisma natural gas company, to cutting deals in china, to joe denying any discussions with hunter on any of this despite them flying together to all of these countries, all while hunter is ingesting copious amounts of cocaine, and now he's an artist.
And the left inserts both fingers in ears yelling "NYT expose or none of its true!"

Genius level political corruption through influence peddling.
With 100% certainty, I can tell you there's no way crack-head Hunter painted any of those. He's not a sudden artist any more than he was an energy guru.

If I am trying to buy influence with the president, I am sure there are better ways than buying overpriced art from his addict son.

POTUS and FLOTUS are highly, highly scrutinized. Any direct influence peddling would either be rejected or exposed quickly. The best way to get to a person like this is through relations who are "separate". We saw this with Harry Reid's kid and Biden's kid and brother. I can't think of a better way of getting into the influence zone.
Of course, sometimes you really don't need influence - if you're Pelosi's husband you just happen to bet on Google/Amazon at the right time to make yet another fortune on top of other fortunes he's just so happened to time right with Congressional decisions. It's good to be "separate" yet in the ruling class, isn't it?

This is 100% wrong. This is actually the best way. Hunter doesn't even need to sit on another Chinese board of directors. It's a great way to dump money right into Joe's pocket.

Wow - a fascinating interaction between Congressman Perry and Blinken (about 3:45). Blinken basically admitted there is FBI activity into Hunter.
