Carrying The Anti-Gun Cuse Too Far

This is a close call.
From the Chicago Tribune: Just weeks after releasing his debut album, "Finally Rich," South Side rapper Chief Keef was taken in handcuffs from juvenile court Tuesday after a Cook County judge ordered him held in custody.
Judge Carl Anthony Walker ruled that Chief Keef had violated his probation for a 2011 gun conviction by holding a rifle at a gun range in New York while a video was being shot last summer.
Prosecutors have been seeking to detain the 17-year-old rap sensation for weeks, most recently alleging that he had violated his probation by moving to a north suburb without telling authorities. Police interest in Chief Keef, whose real name is Keith Cozart, grew after he sent a taunting tweet following the slaying of aspiring rapper Lil Jojo in September....
During the approximately two-hour hearing, a gun range employee testified that Chief Keef was holding the rifle during an on-camera interview by Pitchfork Media, an Internet-based music publication.
The judge ruled that by holding the firearm, Chief Keef violated the terms of his 18-month probation sentence for pointing a gun at a Chicago police officer in 2011, according to Andy Conklin, a spokesman for the state's attorney's office.
The rapper is scheduled to be sentenced before Walker on Thursday. Until then, he will be locked up in the juvenile holding facility.   http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-chief-keef-jailed-20130115,0,6580088.story
One on hand, the 17 year old was just holding a gun for a promotion and the gun probably wasn't even loaded.  He didn't use it or threaten anybody nor commit a crime with the gun.
On the other hand, he was already on probation for a gun violation and moved without notifying the government.
Does he belong in jail?  Does it benefit anybody?
My one hope is that this rapper few people who have heard of gets his life together and doesn't end up a dead rapper, like many before him.
