Hunter Biden appears to be looking to defend the gun charge with a vindictive or selective prosecution defence. After all the wining trump is doing about his prosecutions, it would be funny if it were found that he was the one weaponizing the DoJ.

Question 11.e on Form 4473 asks the purchaser: “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?” ...

That's correct. But of the 27 million background checks undertaken in a year, lying of form 4473 gets charges filed about 300 times, give or take. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/06/09/lying-atf-gun-purchase-form-yields-few-prosecutions-new-data-shows/)

Usually when the gun has been used for a crime.

If the charges were filed against Hunter because he was Joe's son, then he has a defence.

He wasn't charged with drug use.

Form 4473 asks if you are an unlawful user, it doesn't ask if you are a convicted drug user.

You saw the pictures with the crack pipe in his mouth.

As I already said exactly in my comment above

If the fact that he is Joe's son is the reason why charges were filed in this case, he has a defence.
