[TMGN via ZERO] A story not being covered by the corrupt corporate media over the past few years has been the story of Joe Biden's Son, Hunter. Or maybe, more specifically, the story of Hunter Biden's Handgun.Hunter Biden purchased a .38 Revolver from a Delaware gun shop on October 12, 2018. If you're familiar with gun law or have bought a gun yourself, you'll know that to purchase a firearm you'll have had to fill out an ATF Form 4473, also known as a Firearms Transaction Record. More on that later.
Days later, on October 23, Hallie Biden (widow to Joe Biden's son Beau) searched Hunter's truck and found the handgun. She apparently feared for Hunter's safety and decided to put the gun in a shopping bag and throw it in the trash outside a grocery store. During the same day, Hunter finds out about the gun disposal and notifies law enforcement of the missing firearm. The investigation that followed involved the Delaware State Police, Secret Service, the FBI, and later on, the ATF.
Eventually, the revolver was found, turned into authorities by a man who routinely searched garbage cans in the area for recyclables. Interestingly according to a report from Politico, the Secret Service visited the gun shop where Hunter had purchased the firearm and asked to take the 4473 associated with the gun. The shop owner wisely refused this request, apparently "suspecting that the Secret Service officers wanted to hide Hunter's ownership of the missing gun if it were ever to be involved in a crime." Eventually, the gun shop owner did turn in the firearm transaction record to the ATF.
Here's where it gets interesting. Back in 2018, when this event occurred, Hunter Biden was famously addicted to drugs. (According to his memoir, he was smoking crack in 2018)
On a Firearms Transaction Record, there's a question on the form about drug addiction. It's a yes or no question, and answering yes leads to disqualification of being able to purchase a firearm.
