Not even 48 hours after Donald Trump was elected as the next President of the United States, rapper Boosie Badazz pleaded to the convicted felon to give him a pardon on the his gun charges.
The recording artist, who hails from Louisiana, took to social media to make a plea to the future 47th President to pardon him for a gun conviction he received earlier this year. He stated that, as a non-violent felon, he should not have been charged with a 922G. According to ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), “The Gun Control Act (GCA), codified at 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), makes it unlawful for certain categories of persons to ship, transport, receive, or possess firearms or ammunition, to include any person convicted in any court of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year.”
In his request to Trump, Boosie also told him he wanted to sit with him to discuss giving police immunity. He expressed that doing so would “motivate” police officers to commit deadly crimes.
