As a gun owner and a big second ammendment advocate i really feel bad for TI. Its really petty for him to get ratted out for some bullshit like this, dude made something out of himself just to get fucked over. Alot of the countries gun laws are really fuckin stupid and set up to keep the common man suppressed so the govt has more guns than us so they can keep us in line. I guess thats a topic for a GOM thread but it applies
Them guns was for his hired goons they had some DC sniper shit planned That nigga even had the bushmaster & the magnum. See he let TIP make his decisions this time he shoudlve had T.I. make the decsions. He def is teh realest rapper out right now. I gotta bust out my T.I. -VS- T.I.P cd now & bump the fuck out of it like it just dropped imo that album was a damn near classic he even dissed Oprah on the adlibs.
look at the lyrics for "HURT" he warned they azz.

I'll never get caught murkin' y'all cuz it ain't what you do

Shawty I'm way too raw
Catch me any day you want you could think I'm a play if you want
But the fact still remain if I got a AK and you don't
Well then playa you gone
Don't get me wrong there's some niggas wanna kill me too (Well where they at?)
But they ain't sayin' bout shit because they very well know where I'm at
They could catch me in the booth right if it really like that
Naw nigga that they hoe get him in the whole shit, the 44 spit they holla oh shit
Protectin' her and you both hit
You betta check ya girl or you be so sick
If the choppa leave you with no dick
Or a plastic bag holdin' yo' shit

And I don't miss 'cause I'm focused nigga
[Hook]

Rapper T.I. appeared in the Federal Courthouse in Atlanta for the first time today at 3:00 PM on weapons charges and has been ordered held without bail.
T.I., born Clifford Harris Jr., had his hands cuffed and his legs chained as he entered the packed courtroom.
His lawyers unsuccessfully sought bail for the rapper, which was denied by U.S. Magistrate Judge Alan Baverman.
ATF agents arrested the rapper in an Atlanta shopping center after he allegedly attempted to illegally purchase machine guns through a bodyguard who was working for the government.
A subsequent raid of his house turned up numerous assault rifles and loaded handguns.
T.I. will appear in court on Friday (October 19), where Judge Baverman will determine whether there was probable cause for the rapper's arrest and to decide if he will be eligible for bail before his trial.

Rapper T.I. will face a federal judge this afternoon (October 15) after being arrested over the weekend on felony weapons charges.
T.I., born Clifford Harris Jr., will appear before US Magistrate Judge Alan J. Baverman at the United States Courthouse in Atlanta later today.
Prosecutors will charge the rapper with possession of unregistered machine guns and possession of firearms by a convicted felon, after a federal investigation revealed the rapper was allegedly trying to purchase machine guns in Atlanta.
According to documents released by the ATF, the investigation started 11-days ago, when the rapper's bodyguard asked a licensed gun dealer at The Gun Store about buying a machine gun and not registering it, as required by law.
On October 2, the dealer reported the incident to the ATF who started an investigation and provided a fictitious cellphone number to an undercover agent posing as a machine gun dealer.
Eight days later on October 10, Harris called the bodyguard to pick up $12,000 in cash to buy the weapons. The bodyguard met the undercover agent at a K-Mart in Doraville.
T.I.'s bodyguard then gave the agent $2,200 and a .223-caliber pistol in exchange for three 9mm machine guns and two 9mm silencers.
Federal agents then arrested the bodyguard, who revealed he was buying the guns for T.I. and that he had purchased almost 25 firearms over the past 18 months for the rapper, who is a convicted felon and legally barred from owning firearms.
In one incident in September, the bodyguard claims that the rapper gave him cash to purchase a Calico 9mm from The Gun Store.
After legally purchasing the weapon, T.I. allegedly invited the bodyguard into his bedroom, where the rapper showed the man a walk in safe with a finger-print scanner, tall enough for a person to enter.
Inside of the safe were a number of assault rifles in black duffle bags.
In another incident in September, T.I. asked the bodyguard to purchase a .500 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver, which was allegedly given to Grand Hustle rapper Alfamega, who then delivered the weapon to T.I.
The next day, on October 11, the cooperating bodyguard called another bodyguard working for T.I. to discuss security services while agents were listening.
During the conversation, T.I. grabbed the phone and the bodyguard allegedly told the rapper he had "everything for you [referring to T.I.]"
On October 12, Harris called the cooperating bodyguard while federal agents listened and arranged to pick up the guns the next day.
On October 13, around 1:00 PM, T.I. called the bodyguard and asked him to bring the guns to a recording studio.
At the behest of ATF agents, the bodyguard arranged to meet in the shopping center parking lot in Atlanta.
The rapper arrived at the parking lot and the bodyguard, who was wired, entered T.I.'s vehicle.
The bodyguard asked the function of a silencer to which T.I. replied "No Flash, no bang."
T.I. then asked the bodyguard what the "E" meant on one of the machine guns.
The bodyguard explained that the "E" meant semi-automatic mode, while the "F" meant fully automatic function, which T.I. Allegedly acknowledged.
The rapper inquired about ammunition, the capacity of the magazines and any change that might be left over from the purchase.
Federal agents then arrested T.I. without incident, recovering three firearms, including one between the drivers seat the center console.
T.I.'s girlfriend Tameka "Tiny" Cottle and Grandhustle rappers Mac Boney and Young Dro were also arrested.
While Mac Boney and Young Dro were not charged with any crimes and released, Cottle, who was a member of the all-girl band Xscape, was charged with possession of marijuana and the drug Ecstasy.
A subsequent search of T.I.'s home recovered three rifles, two pistols and a revolver in the walk-in closet and safe in his bedroom.
Five of the firearms were loaded.
T.I. was held in federal custody over the weekend on two felony charges: possession of unregistered machine guns and possession of firearms by a convicted felon.
"There are two sides to every story," T.I.'s lawyer Dwight Thomas told CNN. "I've seen copies of the documents as a result of the search, but I have not seen any evidence yet, in terms of any physical evidence."
Thomas also revealed to CNN that he was not aware of T.I.'s past criminal record as a convicted felon.
"The are two sides to every story, sometimes three." Thomas said. "As you know we aren't going to try the case in the press. Whatever his stance is will come out in the court of law, we won't try it in the media."
