[Sweet & Tender Hooligan]

What a fucking idiot, i hope he gets the jail. Hes a multi millionaire, why in gods name does he need guns? IM sure he pays hundreds of thousands on security alone. IF this was any other normal person i would want to see them jailed, and TI is no different. I bet LIl Flip must be shook though. lol

So ain't a damn thing changed you still keep that thing under your shirt? Nice going Harris.

[Cheese]

what in the world does dude still need all those guns for? Is he psychotic or something?

[es-jay]

here's some potential good news:

"A source close to embattled rapper T.I. says that the gun charges leveraged against the hip-hopper are false; T.I. never tried to purchase guns -- it was all his bodyguard. The source statement was "[The bodyguard] asked T.I. for an advance on his [pay] and T.I. gave it to him. ...Whatever he spent money on -- whether it be guns, drugs, or formula for his children -- T.I. had nothing to do with it." That's it, he was buying formula! And those guns found in T.I.'s house? "T.I. has security that lives with him and stay with him at all times. The gun that the [federal agents] found belonged to his security team" -- all of whom are licensed to carry them, the source claims. "The government was just looking to pin a case on T.I. - they've been trying for years. So they pushed [the bodyguard] into snitching on T.I."

im sorry but TI is fucked...

the bold bit, c'mon. hes an ATF snitch, they gettin him for purchasing weapons not handing out cash...

[KURUPTION-81]

I cant believe how stupid TI is if he did that.

Here is some more news on it

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."

Wow, that's some hollywood shit aint it.

TI's done if they had a wire on dude.

[CRAFTY]

Why on earth would you have a "Free T.I." picture in your sig for? It's not like he was arrested without any substantial reasons. The man had unregistered automatic weapons in his house. With him being a felon, he knew what the consequences were.

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

[The King Of L.A]

fuck it ..he is fucked. "dont do the crime if you cant do the time" it serves him good so his dumb ass could learn ........

[Lazar]

T.I. is really dumb

[smegma]

you put this in your sig while you know what he's arrested for? 

[Lunatic]

i put it in my sig, cause he ain't kill nobody...although i admit he is dumb (if this story is 100% true, i think it's 2 early 2 speculate)..he's obviously had guns for a very long time, and we've never heard about boy even shooting at anybody, let alone killing someone

if this story turns out 100% true, i think he's just shook from what happened 2 his homeboy in Cincinnati...and i wouldn't blame him for wanting 2 protect himself
