The Trump campaign claimed that he bought a Glock handgun from a South Carolina gun store.
In a video posted on X, a Trump spokesman wrote: “President Trump purchases a @GLOCKInc in South Carolina!”
But his campaign later backtracked and said that the former president didn’t make the purchase.
The article doesn’t say: what is illegal about it?
It’s against federal law to purchase a handgun if you’re under federal indictment. If he really bought the handgun, he’d have needed to have filled out a form. On that form, he’d be asked if he’s currently under federal indictment. If he answered yes, he wouldn’t be allowed to complete the sale. If Trump answered no, he broke federal law by lying on a government form to buy a gun. This is the exact crime Hunter Biden is being charged with.
Thanks!
