He did break the law
The law is not unconstitutional in this case.
If later it is ruled that, then that is a different story that I still do not agree with. But for now, it is the law and he broke it.
Plain and simple.
Not sure why you are still trying to argue for a criminal

Are you really this ignorant?

If he didn't break the law, why is he in court?
If you are issued a ticket from a cop, did you not break the law?
The attorney for President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden, who is facing felony gun charges, said Friday that the statute is "likely unconstitutional" and he expects "the case will be dismissed before trial."
While the criminal statutes cited in the indictment are clear -- it is a crime to lie on a gun application form or to possess a firearm as a drug user – Hunter Biden's attorney suggested that the charges could be unconstitutional, citing a recent appeals court ruling that drug use alone should not automatically prevent someone from obtaining a gun.
“The only change that has occurred between when they investigated [this alleged crime] and today is that the law changed," Lowell said. "But the law didn't change in favor of the prosecution. The law changed against it."

Go back and read through the thread fully bud
I think all gun laws are bad, yes
I also believe in following the law as it is written, which Hunter did not
There is no bias there.
If Trump had bought that gun last week, as the left was trying to push that he did, I would say the same thing that he broke the law, he should be held accountable.
And we know that Trump was in posession of thousands of pages of classified documents without a security clearance and that he lied to investigators about that fact, among other things.
So once again, if Hunter is a criminal because he has been charged with three crimes, then Trump is a criminal because he has been charged with 91 crimes. Do you deny that your logic applies to Trump?
