Trump warns of canceling firearm permit.
In the recent hush money trial, former US President Donald Trump may now lose his gun license due to his conviction in 34 counts. Two out of the three hand-picked guns of Trump have been with the police for some time now.
The New York Police Department is considering taking back Trump's gun license, as given by CNN and NBC sources. The reason behind this action is his criminal conviction in the hush money case. In the USA, individuals convicted of crimes cannot own firearms.
Before his indictment, Trump's concealed carry weapon permit was already suspended, claims CNN. One of his two authorized guns was reportedly surrendered to the New York Police Department by a prominent law enforcement official. The other gun that Trump could legally carry was moved to Florida.
At present, the investigation is supposed to conclude with the revocation of the gun license. There might be a challenge from Trump's side. Trump has been carrying his gun license for over a decade, according to investigations. The representatives of Trump did not give any comments on the queries from the two networks. As a previous president, Trump can avail of round-the-clock security from the Secret Service.
Ardent Gun Supporters Need to Vote for Trump
In the month of May, during the yearly gathering of the firearm lobby association NRA, which usually endorses Trump as a potential presidential candidate, Trump addressed his supporters. He encouraged people to cast their votes in his address.
Trump is the very first ex-president of the USA to get a criminal conviction. The sentence is believed to be announced on July 11. A few days afterwards, he is likely to be chosen as the Republican presidential nominee during the party convention. The authorities haven't made it clear yet whether they want to request a prison sentence, but a fine is another option. Trump intends to appeal this decision.
