For T.I., Gathering Guns Is Like Collecting Stamps. Except Illegal

10/16/07, 5:32 pm EST

If the above picture could tell a thousand words, three of those words would be “lengthy jail sentence.” The ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) has released photos of the semi-automatic treasures they claimed after arresting rapper T.I. before the BET Hip-Hop Awards last weekend. Look at that stash! Why would anybody short of Ted Nugent need that many firearms? If T.I. (real name: Clifford Harris) put a trigger to every finger and toe he has, he’d still have five guns left over. T.I.’s bail hearing has been delayed until Friday, so he’ll remain in custody until at least then. After a brief hearing yesterday, Dwight Thomas, one of Harris’s lawyers, said, “We’re looking at complete exoneration in this case. Our objective is to completely exonerate him,” however federal agents say they have an incriminating tape that shows T.I. sealing the deal for the weapons. As of now, he is, of course, innocent until proven guilty.

I think the point here, which the article didn’t mention, is that TI is a convicted felon…so it is illegal for him to have/own/possess weapons like this.

Do us all a favor and look a little harder for that place to move to. Guns are made to kill people, cars are not. Why not let this asshole collect anthrax or ebola virus? Or collect wild lions next to a grade school? Lets take bazzookas on airplanes. Fireworks into a gunpowder factory……ect.I bet if one of these guns killed your parents, child, or sibling, you would be screaming for justice. You are an idiot.

TI, whatever his name is, should be allowed to keep at least one of those guns, provided he agrees to use it on himself.

Cool! Hey Beavis, look at all those guns.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So one person would only ever own one pair of shoes at a time as well by this logic. Only one fork and spoon, soup bowl and plate. One coat, pair of jeans, shirt and hat. Surely one should not have more than the amount they can use at any one instant. Pathetically illogical argument.

As for the trial, what a worthless waste of our legal systems time. So he has guns! Oh no, not that! Please PLEASE save us from the person that has weapons. While we are at it, anyone that has a car should be arrested too. Cars kill quite easily as well, and since arresting someone for having weapons seems reasonable, we surely must be consistent.

I really need to find some place where people aren’t insistent about telling others how to live…
