Former U.S. President Donald Trump is set to lose his New York gun license following his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment.
The New York City Police Department is expected to revoke his license as a result of the conviction. Trump, who was convicted for his efforts to cover up a payment to a porn star, must surrender all firearms by July 11 unless he successfully applies for a certificate of relief from civil disabilities.
This move marks a significant legal repercussion for the former president, beyond the criminal charges themselves.

Even if you're not a fan of Trump, the idea of revoking someone's gun rights over a non-violent felony conviction really makes you question how far the government will go to disarm citizens.

Looks like they're using every little excuse to go after Trump, now they're even taking away the man's right to bear arms.

Honestly, it's about time the law applied to Trump the same way it does to everyone else. Losing his gun license is a no-brainer given the felony conviction; you can't just overlook that because someone was once the President. It's refreshing to see accountability in action, especially considering the seriousness of the charges against him. This might set a precedent that no matter how high your office, you're not above the law. Also, it's a stark reminder of the importance of integrity in public office, something that seems to have been lost on him.
