The charges contained in this indictment are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony M. Brown It was investigated by the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and the Joplin, Mo., Police Department.

This is the exact reason why the majority of the Leftist Liberals Democrats, who feel that if we take away all the Guns there will be no Crimes or Criminals with Guns. The Criminals, Felons all have Guns - How are you going to Protect yourself, your family if you do not have a Gun also, when they break into your house, to steal from you, or try to kill you and your family - stand there and just get shot - or try to call 911 for the police and - WAIT AND WAIT - READ THE FOLLOWING FACTS AND TRUTHS -
The Wait Times in Jasper, Newton, and McDonald Counties are even Longer - For the Police to Arrive - - -
National Average: The average police response time for 911 calls across the United States is about 10 minutes.
Rural Areas: Response times in rural areas are often longer than in urban or suburban areas, potentially reaching 20 minutes. This is due to factors such as:
Larger geographical areas.
Lower staffing levels.
Potentially longer travel distances.
Limited access to technology that can aid in faster response times.
So you still believe that Dems are going to take guns away. Lmao
2:03PM, the Dems would like to try and overturn the Second Amendment to the Constitution while allowing the Criminals to illegally obtain them, carry them and use them - without Average Americans being able to defend themselves.
Criminals are not waiting for the Police to show up or respond - You must be able to Protect yourself and your family.
Hunter Biden was convicted of three federal firearms-related felony charges in June 2024. The charges stemmed from his admission to illegally owning a gun while being a drug user.

Dear PPPP, Seriously, your fill of obsessive hate driven ignorance is unlike anything we've witnessed since the rise of hitler and authoritarianism. In a normal period of time, your malignantly hate filled desperation to blame dems for all things would be a sure sign of desperation and enormous fear, much like your supreme leader trump. You obviously, and thankfully,won't be authoring any children books anytime soon.
