Rapper Lil Wayne, Dwayne Michael Carter Jr, has been charged in Florida by the federal court on Tuesday after a gold-plated handgun was discovered in his luggage upon arriving in Miami on a private plane. The Miami Herald reported. Wayne will be facing 10 years in prison for the offense, if convicted.
Wayne told investigators that the gun was a Father’s Day gift.
He’s been set up because of his words about Trump?
No, surely a coincidink...
Gold plated stupidity.
There shall be no dissenters.
I’ve flown private for 20 years.
How would anyone know you have a gun in your luggage?
How often do they search the luggage on a private plane?
Set up? Probably not. Railroaded into 10 years when a Biden supporter would get a slap on the wrist? Probably.
I would say this is ‘revenge’ just because he supported Trump, but maybe not. Who, in their right mind forgets packing a gold plated handgun in their luggage?
He’s a convicted felon whose firearm rights have been revoked.
“How often do they search the luggage on a private plane?”
In Miami?
All the time.
Yep, just another in a long.... long list of people supporting Trump who the Feds have tried to put in Federal Prison.
People learn, if on Jan 22nd Trump is the President he needs to fire everyone from the Top down about 4 levels at the DOJ and FBI. Then have the replacements start investigating, charging, arresting and convicting Biden / Hillary / Obama criminals. This is the only way to clean out the Deep State!
Don’t take a gun on a plane. Ever.
What a dumb fk!
I don’t understand how that is allowed.
Does he still have free speech?
Freedom of association?
Can they quarter soldiers in his house now?
Illegally search him?
Slow trial?
Cruel punishments?
etc...
What was illegal?
How often do they search the luggage on a private plane?
For me, only sometimes when I came in from Canada.
(For flights within the country, I suspect that whoever wanted to search the plane would need to show up with a warrant.)

“Don’t take a gun on a plane. Ever.”
I should have read the USCCA article first.
You are correct. Thanks.
If its in your Luggage on a private plane, it shouldn’t be an issue.
It isn’t a crime to transport a gun in the hold of an airplane.
Unless he can’t own a gun, or pulled it out in flight, I’m not seeing a real crime here.
Someone who has consumed far too much sizzurp.
