The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
In short, Weiss, who originally thought Biden's gun purchase did not require prosecution, let alone a prison sentence, is now charging him with three crimes stemming from the transaction, which carry a combined maximum penalty of 25 years in prison. In the span of less than two months, Weiss went from zero to 25. Even allowing for the fact that sentences for gun crimes typically fall far short of the statutory maximum, that is a pretty striking escalation. It cannot possibly be justified by the gravity of Biden's conduct, which harmed no one. Rather, the dramatic increase in Biden's legal peril looks like retaliation for his decision to fight the gun charge. That sort of "trial penalty" is par for the course in a criminal justice system where prosecutors wield tremendous power to coerce guilty pleas by threatening to pile on charges and/or seek stiffer punishment if a defendant has the audacity to make the government prove its case. As David McGarry noted in a Reason article last March, 98 percent of federal convictions and 95 percent of state convictions are based on guilty pleas. McGarry cited an American Bar Association (ABA) report that helps explain why defendants rarely exercise their Sixth Amendment rights. In federal felony cases, the ABA found, the average sentence for defendants who go to trial is seven years longer than the average sentence for defendants who plead guilty. "Although a modest reduction in sentence is justified in some cases resolved through guilty pleas because a defendant accepts responsibility," the ABA said, "sentences should not be punitively inflated simply because a defendant exercised a fundamental right."Everything they say is true, and I still want Hunter Biden in jail for a 25 year stint in federal prison. We live in a post-law society, so the minuscule possibility that the horrendous system will be applied to one of the elites is too tempting to dismiss as an affront to all of our rights. And...imagine this case going to the Supreme Court, which is then forced to examine our gun laws and perhaps loosen them even more. Wouldn't that be a delicious byproduct of the Biden (pseudo) presidency!

Which is why, correct as that "Reason" article may be and as valid as the argument points on the various hands may be, none of it is relevant.
This is perfectly valid in terms of legal philosophy, interpretation of law, etc. and in a system that was itself lawful (and whose controllers were largely law-abiding), debates like these are meaningful in that they will guide that system and its controllers.
But in an unlawful system run by people who are above the law, where law is merely a cudgel to be used against political opponents and enemies, it is of only academic interest. The controllers of the *next* system might see such argumentation and take it into consideration, but it has no bearing and - sadly - no meaning for the current environment.

That said -- the *rest* of us have to live under these insane gun laws that the left keeps pushing (including Hunters dad), why shouldn't the son of the President?
For example, I know of a guy who was a passenger in a car, driving back from a friends house, when they get pulled over for a traffic violation in a 2A friendly state.
During the chat with the cop, the driver mentions he has a couple of .22 rifles in the back from plinking earlier. No problem.
Cop runs the passengers name -- OOPS, turns out he had a felony marijuana possession on his record from the 1980's.
Guy gets mandatory sentence of 1 year in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm, and there was nothing anyone could do about it, even though it was clearly fucked. Especially since the guy was eligible to get the felony annulled, and just "didn't see a reason to."
So if those are the laws championed by Biden and co., then yeah -- only fair that Hunter gets prison time (he won't) for lying on a form to buy a gun.

Gun Owners of America, a hard-line gun rights lobby, responded with glee. “Good!” the organization tweeted, with the clapping emoji. “If his father wants to work with us to repeal unconstitutional gun control, our lobbyists will be at the White House in an hour. Until then, Hunter shouldn’t get any sweetheart deal!”
...because the right perceives that preferential treatment for the younger Biden is around every corner, some are already speculating about how the president will let Hunter off the hook. “When will Joe pardon Hunter?” the editor of one gun publication wondered aloud.
Very few conservative gun groups defended Hunter, or adhered to their previously stated position that the law he was indicted under shouldn’t exist. The Firearms Policy Coalition re-shared a tweet from August, offering, “If Hunter is looking for gun lawyers to challenge the federal law he’s charged with violating … we know some people.”

I know a guy with a felony conviction for a VERY serious crime, he's been working for years to get it expunged. Daylight is just on the horizon.
He doesn't have a drivers license, and he does like to go out to the desert and plink cans and whatnot.
One of these days, he's going to get pulled over... he's made so much progress getting his life in order, but he's one itchy cop away from having it all crash down. The wife, custody of his kids, the good job... all of it.

I personally think it's more simple than that. At least from the LIV's who support this kind of stuff.
They don't own guns. They think only rednecks own guns. They don't like rednecks. So they want to fuck with them.
Obviously everyone knows the major source of violence in this country (with or without guns) is inner city yutes. Toothless Bubba shooting beer cans outside the trailer park with his .22 isn't hurting anyone, they know that. They just look down on Bubba with disdain.
It's not very nuanced, as obviously the vast vast majority of gun owners are normal people. But these LIV's just go off stereotypes of what they see on TV.

The right to private property is unique, and the basis upon which all the rights more vocally stated rest. It is the basis upon which the US productive business environment rests. I would almost argue the US Constitution is as pro- business document as exists anywhere in the world.
And it was this insidious attack at property rights through government regulation that began the nibble through the rest of our rights. Once you eat the foundation away, you can attack the rest. They left was very clumsy about the way they attacked guns, and it has resulted in a major roll back of their gun grabbing ways, but look at how successfully the 1st amendment has been gutted - religion, speech and assembly are now all allowed as long as you say what the govt wants you to say. This is completely in violation of the constitution.

Hot news @TheNewsTrending
Tensions have been simmering around the region for months, after Azerbaijani troops blockaded the Lachin corridor in December, cutting off the only road connecting Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia and preventing the import of food to its roughly 120,000 inhabitants.
Nagorno-Karabakh, an ethnic Armenian enclave that is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, has been the cause of two wars between the neighbors in the past three decades, most recently in 2020.
The Azerbaijani defense ministry demanded in a statement Tuesday “the complete withdrawal of ethnic Armenian troops and the dissolution of the government in Stepanakert.”

The whole point is to disarm law-abiding people, while allowing criminals to keep their guns.
If there was ANY actual concern with ending "gun violence" the FIRST steps would be
1) Close the border and send the illegals home since they are one of the largest sources of crime in the US.
2) Dramatically increase police presence in the Big Blue Shitholes where most of the "gun violence" is happening.
3) Real long prison terms/death sentence for "gun violence"

Yep. And a LOT of people have gone to jail for it. Some more deserving than others, obviously.
But when you think about it -- that's the only way a law like that can work. Otherwise the 3 gang bangers in the car would say "no, your honor, these 4 guns all belong to the fourth guy in the car, who doesn't have any felony convictions yet!"
But that's my point -- the left gleefully passes these laws, maybe unaware of the real world consequences... but they do it, and it destroys peoples lives. Then when its one of their own (Hunter), its like "ehhh... so what? Who cares if a crackhead lied on a form to get a gun? Come on!"

It cannot possibly be justified by the gravity of Biden's conduct, which harmed no one. Rather, the dramatic increase in Biden's legal peril looks like retaliation for his decision to fight the gun charge.

Yes, and it must be noted, a lot of these gun laws were put in place in the 90s, with JOE FREAKIN' BIDEN being a major pusher of them.
And of course, Cummala Hairyass was AG in Californica, when they were passing more and more stringent gun laws.

The benefit to pleading accrues entirely to the lawyer, who then don't have to do the work required for going to trial.
There is no benefit whatsoever for the defendant, who in pleading guilty, has deprived himself of all sorts of legal recourse, the most important of which is the ability appeal after the judge rejects the plea deal and sentences the defendant on the basis of his guilty plea.
Because the plea deal is a deal between the prosecution and the defense.
The judge doesn't have to honor it.

“We remain in regular contact with our Canadian partners. It is critical that Canada’s investigation proceed and the perpetrators be brought to justice.”||

Basically, yeah. The internet is full of vids of people arguing with cops, that they don't have to show them ID, they have a right to carry weapons, etc. Same vids show cops busting out windows and dragging the person out of their vehicle, while said person is shouting about their rights.
Or worse, be one of those people with a felony record, telling the cops the gun you have, it is your "right" to carry it. Sometimes those situations end with yellow tape around your vehicle.

You probably don't need complicated, convoluted, arcane labyrinths in your legal system if you simply address the simple, underlying crime. Murder is already illegal. All the stupid old dead idiots who came before us already figured out that hanging is a nice, simple solution to a lot of life's problems.

Exactly what types of "arms" are not covered by the 2nd Amendment
Can we have RPGs ? Does common sense Trump the 2nd Amendment ?
Posted by: Paul at September 19, 2023 12:15 PM (cOv4t)
1) If Hunter gets the same penalty that normies get (prison time), I think that would be fair. Although judges do tend to give lawyers a bit of a harder time, since they should "know better." So if he gets 3-5 years, I'd say he got off fairly easily
2) We can debate the definition of "arms," but it certainly, at a minimum, includes any arms that would have been in useage in 1789. So long arms, handguns, cannons, etc.
3) Yes, I would say RPG's would be covered.
3a) "Rights" aren't subject to your "common sense." That's kind of the point of rights.
3b) I'd be more than willing to have a good faith national discussion on re-writing the 2A to be more specific if you'd like. As your side likes to say, no one is coming to take our guns. So this should be easy enough to solve. We can all probably agree that "nuclear bombs" shouldn't be in civilian hands. Deal?

As for coercing guilty pleas, the Federal Sentence Guidelines have ALWAYS provided a 2-level reduction (in the total offense level determined by the Court) for decades.
If a def goes to trial & is convicted, it's often the case that the def in question will pick up OTHER sentence enhancements during trial-- testifying falsely in her own defense, to name one of the more common ones.
Every federal criminal defendant gets a free, Court-appointed defense counsel if she needs and wants one. These are always experienced federal trial counsel. Defense counsel advises clients on the advisability of entering a plea.
Oftentimes, defendants who plead out get less time because the Government has made plea-bargained concessions to facilitate the plea, in addition to the 2-level reduction which I mentioned above.
If there were no incentives to plead guilty, presumably every federal criminal defendant would go to trial, because... why NOT?

Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher at September 19, 2023 12:53 PM (EQa13)
(Guess my original post was too long? I got cut off)
Without the aforementioned incentives to plead guilty? Well, the Govt now has to bring the def to trial within 70 "trial days," which tome period can and is often extended by continuances requested by the parties.
2 years to wait for a speedy trial without those incentives? Longer? Most federal cases dismissed, because the govt doesn't have the resources to handle the massive new trial schedule?
I hate the politicized DOJ as much as most posters, but... the ABA is full of skit. Their idea(s) are of a piece with defunding the police.
