T.I. Arrested For Machine Guns

Looks like yet another “rapper” makes a stupid decision that will end their career. Somehow I think people would learn, but hey at least its an interesting story.

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) — Rapper T.I. was arrested Saturday as he allegedly tried to add three machine guns and two silencers to what authorities said was an “arsenal” of weapons that, as a convicted felon, he was not allowed to own.

The entertainer, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was arrested without incident in midtown Atlanta, Georgia.

The entertainer, 27, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was taken into custody about 2:30 p.m. in Atlanta as he accepted delivery of the guns and silencers, the Department of Justice said in a statement.

Three other guns were found in the vehicle he was driving, authorities said, and police executing a search warrant at his home in suburban College Park, Georgia, found six additional guns, five of them loaded, in his bedroom closet.

“Machine guns pose a serious danger to the community, which is why they are so carefully regulated, said David Nahmias, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia.

“The last place machine guns should be is in the hands of a convicted felon, who cannot legally possess any kind of firearm. This convicted felon allegedly was trying to add several machine guns to an already large and entirely illegal arsenal of guns.” Video See video of a search of the rapper’s home
