"Well, that only applies to their own supporters, it seems. FBI director Kash Patel falsely stated on Sunday, “You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines, to any sort of protest that you want. It’s that simple.” That is a lie."

"Minnesota has a concealed carry law that gun owners do not lose when they attend a rally. (Perhaps Trump should not have pardoned the armed, violent Jan. 6 protestors; perhaps they should not have lionized Rittenhouse.)"

For all the social media armchair warriors and gun fanatics now blaming Alex Pretti for his murder because he was legally carrying a gun to a protest that he never touched, Zeteo has a salient list of times these very same little fellows were praising folks openly displaying guns at protests:

"In social media posts and interviews, officials including FBI Director Kash Patel, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and even Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett have falsely argued that Pretti’s mere possession of a gun or an extra magazine was illegal or evidence of his nefarious intent."

The Trump administration wants to have it both ways on gun rights

After immigration agents killed Alex Pretti Saturday, the Trump administration cast aspersions on common gun-carry practices and upset gun-rights groups.

^{Stephen Gutowski (MS NOW)}

"The coordinated messages indicate that the administration believes that attacking Pretti’s gun carry is its best chance of justifying his killing to the public, but those talking points have already sparked backlash from some of Trump’s closest allies: gun-rights activists."

"For MAGA, authoritarianism is clearly the highest value, and even earlier commitments to gun rights can fall by the wayside. Mixed in with the authoritarianism is tribalism. The right believes in gun rights, but only for the right sort of people."

MAGA Is Proving How Little It Actually Cares About Gun Rights | The Nation

The ability to kill dissidents at will is more important to Trump and his supporters than the Second Amendment.

"Much more tragic are the ordinary-folks footsoldiers dutifully coming out to defend the ICE shooting. I can barely think of anything more beaten than spending the day typing variations on the theme of 'it is good that law enforcement officers in my country shoot civilians who are no threat'. What a bunch of bootlickers. They might be too far gone to see it, but much of the rest of the world can."

"At first the series of rhetorical flip-flops may seem nonsensical — as if the world is upside down — but all of them are consistent with decades of evolution of white nationalist ideology and the far-right movement, which isn’t against tyranny per se, just tyranny by the 'wrong people': Democrats, women, or minorities."

"And now, looking across the American landscape, those far-right white nationalists feel comfortable flipping their rhetoric because they recognize the Trump administration is doing their business for them. The government is their kind of extremist now."

"As Trump left the White House earlier today, he made a stunning remark. After years of demagoguery around guns and the Second Amendment, Trump said, 'You can’t just walk into places or be in public and have a gun or a concealed carry.' Where are all those Second Amendment People now?"

"Donald Trump has started a firestorm within the Republican Party today suggesting that Alex Pretti should not have carried a firearm, despite him being legally able to do so. Gun rights activists have now come out in droves to condemn the President over the remarks exposing a major internal rift."

"Trump got Second Amendment fans on the right riled up again with this comment today about Pretti: 'You can’t have guns. It’s a very unfortunate thing. You can’t have guns. Q - What about the Second Amendment? You can’t walk in with guns.'

I guess Democrats just found a new ally for gun control legislation."

… Trump said today that the killing of Renee Good was worse to him than the Alex Pretti killing because her parents were Trump supporters: “I’m not sure about his parents, but I know her parents were big Trump fans.
