T.I. has a few suggestions to create a better gun control system in America, even if he doesn’t necessarily believe that’s a possibility.
On the latest episode of Comedy Central’s Hell Of A Week with Charlamagne Tha God, Tip and fellow panelists Tommy Davidson and Kristen Soltis Anderson were asked to weigh in on the case of Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley.
After Crumbley was charged with killing four students and injuring seven others in Oxford Michigan last November, his parents Jennifer and James Crumbley were also charged with involuntary manslaughter, per CNN. The conversation eventually turned to gun control.
According to AllHipHop, during an un-aired portion of the taping, T.I. expressed that he’s not convinced the United States can ever truly embrace gun control.
“Gun control in this country – that sounds like an oxymoron, a little bit,” he said. “The country was founded on firepower, who has the most ability to pose the biggest threat.”
T.I., who spent a year in prison following a 2009 conviction for possession of machine guns and possession of firearms by a convicted felon, also shared his thoughts about how lenient he finds the current gun laws to be.
“How about more than just an ID to get [a firearm]? They already do background checks, that’s not necessarily enough because they don’t arrest for you being a crazy white person. As long as you have managed to bypass the legal system and you’re 21, that’s all you need.
He continued: “And once you get a license, with any other license you can have – whether it’s a driver’s license, a barber’s license, a CDL license – you have to renew it. At a certain period of time they reevaluate whether or not you should be eligible to still have this license – are you responsible? A gun license you can get at 18 and keep it until you’re 80. And people change.”
While that part of the conversation did not make it to the final cut of the episode, T.I. did comment on air about the fact that he would fall under much more scrutiny in the same situation.
“I would love to experience this level of freedom,” he quipped towards the end of the segment. “Because I know if I were to go into a gun store and ask for any type of firearm and ammunition, people would be notified immediately.”
As his panel of guests chimed in on the idea of whether parents are responsible for the actions of their sons, Charlamagne Tha God hinted at how T.I. has found himself having to answer for his son, King Harris’ recent headline making moments.
The incidents included a verbal altercation between the younger Harris and a Waffle House employee in May and an arrest for an unspecified infraction in August. T.I. sent a stern message to King in an Instagram video right after the arrest, warning his son he’ll wind up in prison if he keeps up the bad behavior.
“Small request, stop hitting me … getting in my comments … tellin’ me what to tell King,” the trap pioneer said. “I know my son, think I ain’t spoke to my son? Think I ain’t told my son, his mama and his grandmamas? His ass goin’ to prison! If he got damn keep this shit up, his ass goin’ to prison.
“Can’t nobody stop it but him. I’ve already made my peace with it because I know that energy. I was that energy. I know exactly how it’s gonna turn out.”
In September, Boosie Badazz revealed that he and T.I. were working on a reality show in which they would address the challenges they’ve faced in raising their sons. Boosie’s son Tootie was arrested alongside King Harris, as the two had been driving around together.
“We finna do a reality show with our kids called Raw Ass Kids,” We finna do a reality show with Tootie and King, so we going to put an album together and knock it out, too.”
Once again TI acting smart instead of focusing on what he’s all about: The state of his daughters hymen.
What does it matter whst qualifications you have to get a gun license… the paid off wack jobs shooting shit up and or gang related don’t use registered guns
paid off? everyone knows only MAGA whites shoot up places.
You are completely brainwashed… why are you stuck on repeat of the news broadcasting. You lefties are complete psychopaths
I’m guessing you’ve never heard of South Side Chicago.
If most everyone carried a gun around the country, a lot of shootings wouldn’t get as far as they do now. Embrace 2A.
Americans just don’t get it. You don’t reduce gun deaths by putting more guns into circulation why is that so hard to understand? I’m always reminded of the old Bill Hicks joke about Americans getting a stiffy over guns. Yanks literally have a fetish for guns and until that changes you will continue to have epidemic levels of gun violence and lead the world in mass shootings.
He went from a race based “crazy white person” argument to comparing a drivers license; or a barbers license to owning a firearm. Clearly has no clue what he’s talking about. Driving a car is a privilege. A barbers license is a requirement for a job. Neither of these are in the Constitution. I wish rich people who are surrounded by armed security would stop trying to make decisions for the rest of us who don’t have the money and means to have other people protect us. They want guns for themselves, but take them away from everyone else. Just look at Canada.
He’s saying that because that is weird that you don’t have to renew and it should be mandatory that’s all he is saying. Constitution or not Constitution is trash anyways. Too easy for certain individuals to get guns.
You’re argument is worse than Clifford’s. Which is really just a co-sign on his since you don’t have one. For sounding like a hillbilly I sure speak better than you, and can formulate an intelligent argument better than you. Hillbilly or not. I am clearly more intelligent than you. Intelligent enough to know that “shall not be infringed” means just that. On the flip side of it being too easy to get guns. Ask Clifford how he got all his that had got caught with awhile back, or how Lil Zay Osama got his automatic Glock. I’m pretty sure they didn’t just walk into a Bass Pro Shop with their ID for their background check, and pass a written test. Stop listening to idiots like Clifford. Regurgitating his argument that he got from CNN isn’t the least bit intelligent. Additionally, if you don’t like the Constitution go to Canada. They can’t buy or transfer handguns anymore.
“Constitution is trash.” so ur saying the basis of what our country is built on is trash? i honestly wish u new age hippie trans losers would go ANYWHERE else and then have a revelation of how america is the best country. go to saudi or russia with ur queer asss.
Constitution is absolutely trash just like the gun system and Lil who ever you said is not doing these mass shootings either is clifford its crazy ass white people if you want to go there same people the Constitution was intended for telling me to go somewhere else like this land belong to you or the crazy ass white people that came over to steal FYI
There are mass shootings every week in Chicago. I can say with absolutely certainty that none of the people are white. Your arguments are lacking anything other than calling the Constitution trash, or saying this land is stolen. Using statistics that are skewed. Seems to me you have a problem with the western world at large. Also, white people didn’t invent conquest. That’s something as old as time itself. People went to war and if they lost they everything. That’s how the world was. Don’t act like the native Americans didn’t conquer and enslave each other. Like this was such a great place before the western world got here. I stand by what I said. If you don’t like it here, leave. I stand by my country. The same country you enjoy the spoils of and live a better life than you could anywhere else. Unless you have something to say that’s thought provoking; and intelligent, you can save it. I just don’t care about your emotional answers, and general prattling on. Go to talk to Clifford or the Lil’s about your grievances that they don’t even care about or believe.
LOL you hate trump us grant but yet you also hate the woke left Trans lbgqt shit too… you realize that all goes hand in hand hey? Your boy biden is doing that.. well the puppet master commanded him as no president/prime minister actually any power let alone the free will to make decisions on they’re own
You clearly didn’t read what I wrote, or anything I’ve ever posted on here. Maybe re-read. Granted I accidentally replied to my own posts due to posting on a phone.
Uh-oh, T.I. learned a new word…
oh clifford the gangbanger wants gun control? bro theres a reason why u fell off. you are not killer mike, and u damn sure aint mlk.
dude should still be locked up for the firepower he was caught with, 3d printing is way easier now & an iliterate 15 year old could make one 100+ years ago in his barn, cant stop it wont stop it, cant ban math & shapes stop turning these kids into pil l po pping jun kies, prioritize education, & give people opportunities and jobs that can actual let u afford a home & car and the problem will solve itself
*Farts*
The guy who did time in person for illegal silencers and machine guns chiming in on gun control and BLM sounds like an oxymoron. Better yet, a hypocrite moron on oxy. This dummy keeps complaining about the US when he is worth over 60M as a convicted felon. Apparently it’s REAL HARD for a black man to get a fair shake. SMH
