The New York Police Department (NYPD) is trying to revoke the gun license of the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, after... confession of his guilt in a case of document fraud in New York. Writes about this New York Times citing two NYPD sources.
Trump has a concealed carry permit in New York and three handguns registered under that permit. Two of them were seized by the NYPD in April 2023, when Trump was charged with falsifying business documents.
The third pistol had by that time been legally transferred to Florida, where the politician had moved several years earlier. It is unclear whether it is still in Trump's possession.
Under federal, New York and Florida law, those convicted of felonies (the charges against Trump fall into this category) are prohibited from owning firearms.
On the subject: Trump was found guilty of a criminal offense: what next?
The NYPD is now conducting an investigation that will likely lead to the revocation of his gun license, sources said. Trump has the right to challenge the move.
