I confess to having no knowledge of Ice-T's work as a musician. I have watched him in Law & Order for many years, where he does a good job of portraying an up from the streets black man trying to make the world a better place by being a New York City cop. So you can imagine my surprise to see him in Britain, doing a spirited defense of the right to keep and bear arms on an interview show:

You might want to check his Wikipedia page. Though there are plenty of interesting things about his musical career, what's much more interesting is his criminal career. I'm don't think he makes a very good poster boy for those of us opposed to gun control.
