The information charging Hunter with two tax crimes says that in both 2017 and in 2018 the Los Angeles resident had taxable income in excess of $1.5 million, but failed to pay income tax for either of those years. Hunter owed the IRS more than $100,000 in taxes for each of those years, according to the filing. NBC News, citing two sources familiar with Hunter's plea deal, said that U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss agreed to recommend to a judge that Hunter receive a sentence of probation for the tax crimes. Hunter did pay the taxes in 2022. Do you agree with probation as a sentence for failing to pay more than $100,00 in taxes for each year?

The information on the gun charge says that during an 11-day period in October 2018, Hunter possessed a Colt Cobra .38-caliber revolver "despite knowing he was an unlawful user of and addicted to a controlled substance." Federal law prohibits firearm access by individuals who are "unlawful users of or addicted to a controlled substance." Do you agree with this law? Yes
