The New York police will revoke former President Donald Trump’s gun permit following his conviction on 34 charges last week.
A jury on Thursday convicted the former president and presumptive Republican presidential candidate of falsifying business records about payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
ABC News reported Wednesday night that Trump would now lose his gun permit.
He was suspended after Trump was indicted by the Manhattan district attorney last year.
It is unclear when the NYPD will take action.
Former President Donald Trump (R) attends the Manhattan Criminal Count on Thursday, where he was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.
Under federal and New York state law, convicted felons cannot possess any type of firearm.
Trump will be sentenced on July 11 and must surrender all weapons before that date.
The former president is in tune with the Republican Party by being a strong defender of Second Amendment rights.
He said in 2012 interview with Emily Miller for The Washington Times who had a concealed carry permit for a Heckler & Koch HK45 and a .38 caliber Smith & Wesson.
Trump could get the guns back if his appeal is successful.
The former president received an endorsement from the National Rifle Association last month in Texas.
At the event, he said his rival, President Joe Biden, would take away members’ guns if the Democrat wins re-election.

None of them are expected to go to trial before Election Day in November.
