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 |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
