It’s not often that I agree with the National Rifle Association or with President Donald Trump. But last week I found myself agreeing with both at the same time.
After the shooting death of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis, Trump said, “You can’t walk in with guns. You can’t do that. … Certainly, he shouldn’t have been carrying a gun.”
The NRA and other gun-rights organizations took exception, noting that — in their view — the right to bear arms is guaranteed by the Constitution and that Pretti had a legal permit to carry a weapon, in full compliance with Minnesota law. |

| Alex was murdered in cold blood. So was Renee. Federal armies are dangerous. As we know from Waco/Ruby Ridge et al. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
