"I think there should be some adjustments made to the criteria that must be made in order for you to be allowed to have [a gun]," T.I. explained to DJ Buck & Nancy Barrow of Hartford's 97.3. "The complete overall ban of firearms [is] a bad idea simply because if you do that, then you say the only people who are going to have guns, are the ones willing to break the law to keep them. That means you are putting the guns in the hands of only the criminals." more on this story
