In a significant development, former President Donald Trump's gun license for New York City is anticipated to be revoked following his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. A spokesperson from the New York Police Department (NYPD) confirmed that the license had already been suspended upon Trump's indictment.

News of the expected revocation was first reported by CNN, and no immediate response was received from the Trump campaign when requested for comment. The revocation of gun licenses after convictions is a common practice in New York, which raises further questions about the former president's firearm usage.

Although it remains unclear when Trump last possessed a gun, the NYPD spokesperson informed that his gun license for New York City was active at the time of his indictment in the hush money case back in March 2023. Since becoming the Republican nominee for president in 2015, Trump has been under the protection of the Secret Service.

Trump's conviction on all 34 counts of falsifying business records is historic, signifying the first instance in U.S. history where a former president has been found guilty of such charges. The sentencing is scheduled for July 11, shortly before the Republican National Convention where Trump is set to be officially confirmed as the party's nominee for president again.

Notably, the former president recently delivered a keynote speech at the National Rifle Association's (NRA) annual meeting, during which the NRA officially endorsed him. Trump seized the opportunity to rally gun owners, urging them to exercise their voting power.

This latest development surrounding Trump's gun license revocation adds another layer of complexity to his legal battles. As July 11 approaches, the spotlight will remain on the former president as he faces the consequences of his convictions and seeks to secure his party's nomination for the upcoming presidential election.
