According to Wiki, "In 1969, Jackson and several other students held members of the Morehouse College board of trustees (including a nearby
Martin Luther King, Sr.) hostage on the campus, demanding reform in the school's curriculum and governance.
[16] The college eventually agreed to change its policy, but Jackson was charged with and eventually convicted of unlawful confinement, a second-degree
felony.
[17]"
There's also the small matter of his drug addiction, also from Wiki "While completing these films, Jackson's drug addiction had worsened. After previously overdosing on heroin several times, Jackson gave up the drug in favor of cocaine.
[24] After seeing the effects of his addiction, his family entered him into a New York rehab clinic.
[10][25] When he successfully completed rehab, Jackson appeared in
Jungle Fever, as a
crack cocaine addict, a role which Jackson called cathartic as he was recovering from his addiction.
[5] Jackson commented on the transition, "It was a funny kind of thing. By the time I was out of rehab, about a week or so later I was on set and we were ready to start shooting."
[26]"
Based on both his felony conviction and use of drugs, doesn't sound like he would be eligible to purchase or possess guns. Wonder how that works out even in his movie acting, since they normally use real guns. Straw purchase on the 10 Colts?
