Lil Wayne Pleads Guilty, Expected to Serve 1 Year in Prison

Some people were wondering if rapper Lil Wayne would attempt to block DNA evidence in his weapons possession trial. The point is moot now as Lil Wayne has pleaded out and is expected to be sent to prison for a year. He copped to the remaining charge, second-degree attempted weapon possession, the Manhattan D.A.'s office announced today.

New York, under which jurisdiction Lil Wayne fell when officers pulled his tour bus over in Columbus Circle in July on suspicion of weed and found the gun, has very tough gun laws even for celebrities, as Plaxico Burress learned earlier this year.

The star, famous for Tha Carter and its various updates, still faces felony drug and weapons charges in Arizona, where he is expected to stand trial in March, and to which he has pleaded not guilty. Image (cc) RJ Shaughnessy.

This just shows how much the U.S. Constitution has been gutted by the Left. Under the Second Amendment, no government has the authority to forbid any of us from possessing a weapon.

We need right-thinking people to get on every jury and refuse to uphold these unconstitutional gun laws. Little Wayne is soon to be another political prisoner incarcerated to further the liberal agenda.

mmmHMM! says:

It's not so bad going to jail when you're rich. Ever play monopoly?

Write some hot raps, yo, while you're in the slammer.

And don't drop the soap!

Because a fellow inmate might rape you in thy anus.

Four comments in and we already have some racism, some homophobia and some good old fashioned right-wing gun control paranoia. Jesus Christ, people, is this the sort of dumb shit you say in real life, or does it take the anonymity of the internet for you to develop the guts to show your true, ignorant colors?
