Former President Donald Trump's gun license for New York City is expected to be revoked following his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The NYPD spokesperson confirmed that the gun license was suspended upon Trump's indictment and will likely be revoked after his conviction.

Trump, who has been under Secret Service protection since 2015, is set to be sentenced on July 11. It is unclear when he last held a gun or if he still possesses any firearms. Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon is illegal under both New York State and federal law.

Trump was found guilty in the hush money trial related to an alleged payment to Stormy Daniels. The conviction marks the first time in history that a former U.S. president has been convicted of a crime.

The Biden campaign criticized Trump, stating that he should 'get over it' and noting his previous comments about gun violence victims.

Trump last delivered a keynote speech at the National Rifle Association's annual meeting in May, where he urged gun owners to vote. The NRA formally endorsed him during the event.

    The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy. The author cites a senior police official as the source of information about Trump's gun license, but does not provide any independent verification or evidence for these claims. Additionally, there is a dichotomous depiction in the phrase 'he could be in violation of multiple state and federal laws if he still possesses that third gun in Florida.' This implies that either Trump has the gun and is violating laws or he doesn't have it, but the article provides no evidence to confirm which scenario is true.
