Vic Mensa is making a name for himself as an avid gun control advocate.
The rapper is a gun-owner and has faced gun possession charges.
He recently published an Op-Ed with Rolling Stone on the topic.
"He got shot. These words have reverberated through my eardrums too many times in my 25 years. Too many blissful summers have been stained with the blood of men cut down in a vicious cycle of ultra-violence that rips through my city like a cyclone, tearing apart families and leaving broken homes and broken men on street corners adorned with makeshift memorials for the dead." Vic Mensa, Rolling Stone
"The carnage in black communities won?t be solved by gun control; that will take infrastructure, money and government support to bridge the gaps that have forgotten those communities. Mass shootings, on the other hand, are a different phenomenon, one that can be affected by having some common sense and the courage to challenge the billionaires profiting from our sorrow." Vic Mensa
