Now that he is convicted of gun charges what should Hunter do ? If I were him I would appeal the conviction on 2nd amendment grounds (oh the irony as Clueless Joe wants to strip us of 2nd amendment protections. )
His lawyers tried the absurd claim that he purchased the gun in the narrow time between addiction relapses.
They tried to claim that prosecution must prove he used drugs on the day of the purchase.

What nonsense !!
They had him dead to right on the statutory law .His only defense is his constitutional right to own the gun.
He might also challenge on due process grounds in that he was selectively prosecuted . How many people who are druggies own guns ? I'm guessing the numbers run in the multi-millions .
But prosecutions are comparatively rare .

He may be able to argue he was chosen for political reasons .
And what about sentencing ?
Well his old man's tough gun control laws (like the one he touted in his speech yesterday makes it more likely he will get a harsh sentence.

Clueless Joe is one contradiction after another. He says pot users are not dangerous so pot should be decriminalized. Yet his laws say that pot users are too dangerous to own guns.
SCOTUS has been ruling in favor of 2nd amendment rights . Hunter should go for it .
