T.I. thinks it’s strange the government is pushing for stricter gun control laws considering the history of the country.
“Gun control in this country – that sounds like an oxymoron, a little bit. The country was founded on firepower, who has the most ability to pose the biggest threat,” he said on Comedy Central’s Hell Of A Week with Charlamagne Tha God.
T.I. says they don’t take people’s mental health capacity into consideration when handing out gun permits.
He continued, “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. 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.”
Is he right?
