On Tuesday, President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, was convicted on three counts of gun charges by a Delaware federal court jury.
Alabama Republican Party chairman John Wahl says he does not think it is a good verdict.
During an appearance on Mobile radio FM Talk 106.5's "The Jeff Poor Show," Wahl questioned it on Second Amendment grounds.
"I don't know if this is intentional," he said. "I don't know what, but look, the bottom line is: 'Shall not be infringed' is shall not be infringed. And that counts for Republicans and Democrats. As much as I don't like the Biden family and as much as I think their policies are disastrous, I think he should have been able to own a gun. And I think this actually sets a bad precedent for gun rights. And I think his lawyers argued it completely wrong. They should have argued this on a Second Amendment constitutional right."
"So, I will say this. Once again, the Democrats showed their lack of respect for the Constitution, both in the charges, but perhaps more importantly, in the way that Hunter Biden's lawyers argued the case."
Wahl also warned the judgement could be used against American citizens based on a prosecution of the president's son. He said it also allowed for the possibility of Hunter Biden not being tried for other potential crimes.
"I think there are so many things that Hunter Biden has done wrong and is guilty of that are now going to be swept under the rug because they say, 'Oh, we convicted Hunter Biden.' Well, no — no, you did not convict him on the right things," he added.
