In a stunning development that highlights the hypocrisy of the Biden administration, Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, was convicted on federal gun charges on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, while his father spoke at an anti-Second Amendment event.
Hunter Biden was found guilty on three felony gun charges in a federal court in Delaware. The charges stem from his purchase of a handgun in 2018, during which he lied about his drug addiction on a federal form. This conviction comes at a time when President Biden has been pushing for stricter gun control measures, including a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

The irony of the situation was not lost on conservative commentators, who pointed out the blatant hypocrisy of the Biden family. “Joe Biden is speaking at a gun control event today,” tweeted @TGrammie2. “Hilarious.”
Hours after Hunter Biden got convicted of lying on a gun background check form, Joe Biden will speak to a radical anti-gun group and lecture law-abiding Americans about the evils of the Second Amendment.
The hypocrisy of today's Democrat party knows no bounds.

The Gateway Pundit noted the absurdity of the situation in a scathing article, stating, “Biden Scheduled to Speak at Anti-Gun Event Just Hours After Drug Addict Son Was Convicted of Federal Gun Charges.”

The conviction of Hunter Biden on federal gun charges is a significant blow to the Biden administration, which has made gun control a key part of its agenda. It also raises questions about the Biden family’s stance on gun rights and the Second Amendment.
As one Twitter user put it, “The hypocrisy of today’s Democrat party knows no bounds.”
