Hunter Biden went on a profanity-laden tirade against his sister-in-law Hallie Biden and accused her of painting him to the FBI as a 'pedophile with homicidal tendencies', according to text messages obtained by the Washington Examiner from his abandoned laptop.
The back-and-forth followed an October 2018 incident where Hallie, Beau Biden's widow, threw Hunter's handgun in the trash at the Janssen's Market in Wilmington, Delaware, which is near a high school.
Although no arrests were made as a result of the incident, the president's son said at the time: 'I won't ever recover from all of this.'
In the midst of the messages, Hunter questioned why it was a big deal if he owned a gun, saying that 'there are 5 guns at dads house' – in what could be a reference to President Joe Biden.
President Biden told donors at a Democratic fundraiser Friday that he owns two shotguns.
He also said while vice president in 2013 that he owned two shotguns, which he said were a more appropriate weapon for self-defense than an AR-15. He said 'if there were ever a problem' that he recommended his wife Jill 'fire two blasts' off their balcony.
Hunter Biden's text exchange with sister-in-law and lover Hallie Biden on the day she threw out his handgun at a grocery store in October 2018 shows the president's son issuing a profanity-laden rant claiming she pegged him as 'an abusive pedophile with homicidal tendencies' to the FBI
The conversation was recovered from an iPhone backup of Hunter's laptop by the Washington Examiner and includes him appearing to claim that his father, President Joe Biden, has five guns in his home

The timing of the revelation of the text messages is ironic considering Biden called recently for a new barrage of gun control measures following two separate mass shootings at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York and at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.
Among the laws the president called on Congress to pass is a measure that would hold individuals personally liable if they don't lock their weapons up in a safe. Congress is also weighing 'red flag' laws that would incentivize preventing people from purchasing firearms if they are deemed a threat to themselves or others.
'There are f***ing more weapons in your sons room then in an armory,' Hunter said in a separate text to Hallie.
'Beau owned a handgun issued by the state and I[t] was in the front glove compartment of his car. So f*** you,' he wrote to his ex-lover in the texts found on the infamous laptop that he left at a repair shop.
The president's son purchased the handgun 11 days prior to the incident.
Hunter suggested in the text exchange hours after Hallie discarded the gun on October 23, 2018 that she was trying to ruin his life and was 'invading his privacy.'
Hallie went into the glovebox of Hunter's car in October 2018 and took a .38-caliber revolver, which she discarded in the trash outside Janssen's supermarket in Wilmington, Delaware before informing the store what she did. The manager Paula Janssen called police
