NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. rapper 50 Cent was ordered to surrender any guns he might have after a judge on Friday issued a temporary restraining order requested by the rapper's ex-girlfriend, lawyers said.

A lawyer for the rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, said he would contest the order and that 50 Cent did not have guns or access to guns. "To my knowledge, he has no guns," said lawyer Brett Kimmel.

The order bars 50 Cent from being in contact with Shaniqua Tompkins, the mother of his 10-year-old son, without the court's permission, lawyers said.

50 Cent and Tompkins have been locked in a legal fight over money. Tompkins has argued that she is entitled to half of 50 Cent's estate, based on an oral agreement.

1. It works like this --

A white man with a gun is a Patriot.

A black man with a gun is a Suspect.

--p!

8. Exactly! In NOLA the blacks were "looting" as white people were "finding things."

2. To my knowledge he has no guns????

Is he familiar with Mr. Jackson's um persona...

I'm sure Mr Jackson may actually be around people that could have guns.


"50 Cent and Tompkins have been locked in a legal fight over money. Tompkins has argued that she is entitled to half of 50 Cent's estate, based on an oral agreement."

I believe the proper phrase is verbal agreement... but then again maybe not. :evilgrin:

3. The NRA wants me to have guns

The NRA does not want Mr. Cent to have guns.

I doubt that this will become a cause celebre for them.

4. I do believe you are mistaken

the NRA wants everyone to have guns. How would I know? I'm a member.

5. I'm happy for you

I let my uncle talk me into joining the nra years ago. After awhile, I got tired of reading all the paranoid propaganda they sent me. not to mention all the racist bullshit I started getting from groups they sold my name to. Finally I told them to take a hike but I still get a solicitation letter about once a month full of scare shit about gun grabbing.

And you know what. I have guns I've owned for over fifty years and nobody has ever tried to take even one of them away from me. I have more important things to do with my life than be scared just because they are.

9. I throw all the propaganda away. Their politics do suck

but if you are a recreational shooter, they pretty much sponsor all the shooting events and provide liability insurance to all the private gun clubs where those event are held.

6. Do you think that if this was brought to the NRA's attention,

They'd defend his Second Amendment rights?

7. Isn't he a convicted felon?

I thought that felons aren't allowed to possess firearms to begin with.
