So Solid Crew's Megaman, real name Dwayne Vincent, has spoken out against gun culture at a Youth Against Gun Violence event in London. He told the conference: "For many people carrying a gun is a form of protection, sometimes they just don't have a chance. But we need to give youths options. There are very few real guns out there. Most of the shootings involve replica guns that have been converted to fire real bullets. We, in the black community, need to work together to get rid of the gangs who are converting these guns."
Megaman gave tentative support to the government's proposed mandatory five year sentence for anyone found carrying a gun – though presumably he wouldn't wish such a severe sentence for fellow Crew mates Shane Neil and Jason Philips who are due in court next month on gun charges.
