haha I figured, since the video's been viewed over 300,000 times. :-P

I never seen it before, the description has info I didn't even know about.

He had like 6 loaded guns at his house and he's sent his body guard out to buy guns for him 25 times before. Crazy shit.


"Authorities have alleged that Harris provided $12,000 to his bodyguard to buy weapons. Harris was convicted on felony drug charges in 1998 and, as such, is not allowed to own the weapons. Instead of performing at the event and being honored for his musical contributions; the superstar was booked and detained, with his car and College Park home being searched by federal authorities. At his home, six other guns, five of which were loaded, were found in his bedroom closet. T.I.'s longtime on-and-off girlfriend, Tamika "Tiny" Cottle (formerly of the girl-group Xscape) was also arrested for possession of marijuana and ecstasy pills.

According to ATF documents, the investigation started after the rapper's bodyguard asked a gun dealer at The Gun Store about purchasing a machine gun without registering it — which is against the law. The dealer reported the incident to the ATF, who started an investigation and provided a fake cell phone number to an undercover agent posing as a gun dealer. On October 10, Harris called the bodyguard who was to pick up $12,000 to buy the weapons. The bodyguard then met with the undercover agent at a K-Mart in Doraville, Ga. 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; after which federal agents arrested the bodyguard. The bodyguard quickly revealed the purchases were for T.I. and that he had purchased approximately 25 firearms over the past 18 months on T.I.'s behalf."

what's fucked up is that TI put's his life in the hands of his body guard, he is in charge of keeping TI safe from attack and shit like that, yet when it really came down to it he turned on TI without hesitation. Threw him under the bus.

Ya, it was fucked up that dude just snitched and set up him flat out like that :-\  He knew what he was doing was illegal, got caught, should have done his time for a poor decision he made. He should have never been purchasing fire arms illegally on behalf of someone else.

If i was T.I's bodyguard and i got caught with all those i sure as fuck would tell them the truth, im not gettin locked up for life for a rich motherfucka. But yah it couldnt have been that strong of a case if T.I. wasnt actually there buying them. LOL at 1:01 in that video, was he planning on going to Iraq to help the troops or someshit? Why did he even need that many, what an idiot!!!

there really has to be something behind it.

if it was just a handgun, that's understandable for personal protection; but like 10 automatics?

it's not even like he could defend himself with it because he couldn't have his body gaurds strapped with them.

i still find it sick that something he is suppose to get AUTOMATIC life for, he is only going to do 10 months lmao.

it's a sick world.
