Since it's clear Hunter Biden lied on his 4473 to buy a revolver, what would it take to get the Feds to prosecute?

I could care less whether the Secret Service tried to shield him, God save the gun shop owners that try to stand up to the Gov. But with these facts in plain sight for all to see, why can't Biden's opponents run this up a flagpole? Prez son being prosecuted for violating the kind of background checks "everyone" supports might bring some perspective to their gun grabbing efforts . . .POLITICO obtained copies of the Firearms Transaction Record and a receipt for the gun dated Oct. 12, 2018.
Hunter responded “no” to a question on the transaction record that asks, “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?” Five years earlier, he had been discharged from the Navy Reserve after testing positive for cocaine, and he and family members have spoken about his history of drug use.
Lying on the form is a felony, though prosecutions for it are exceedingly rare.
Neither Hallie Biden nor George Mesires, a lawyer for Hunter Biden, responded to requests for comment.
The gun-store incident occurred during a period after Hunter Biden’s administrative discharge from the Naval Reserves for his positive cocaine test and his subsequent divorce from his first wife, Kathleen. At the time of the gun incident, Hunter was in a romantic relationship with Hallie, the widow of his late brother, Beau.
