No, I'm accusing the MAGA A-Holes of changing the rules in regards to ICE being able to shoot a legal concealed carry protester. If anyone on the Right screams about the rights of individuals to legally carry a weapon, then they should support Alex Pretti's right.Cannonpointer » 25 Jan 2026, 4:45 am » wrote: ↑ Are you accusing right wing, 2nd Amendment loving gun owners of being consistent and having principles?
Don't ya wish you could level such charges against the left? Me, too.
I remember when they went from "my body my choice" to trying to compel me to take the EXPERIMENTAL Trump "vaccine." They went from populist to fascist at the speed of **** getting real. And the irony is, the **** getting real wasn't even real ****. It was a weak flu bug with a powerful PR team.
But not those 2nd Amendment guys. They stand in the same spot, no matter whose ox is being gored. Huh. Don't ya wish the left didn't lose sight of their principles at the first ripple in the force? Don't ya wish they still supported women, instead of declaring war on their sex-segregated sports and safe spaces?
I, personally, do not support concealed carry, but I do recognize the hypocrisy of legitimizing the so called 2nd Amendment rights for MAGA, and not Alex Pretti.
NRA and pro-gun groups call for ‘full investigation’ into killing of Alex Pretti
Groups typically aligned with Trump call for investigation as NRA wades into the national dialogue

The National Rifle Association (NRA) has joined other gun lobbying and advocacy groups that are typically aligned with Donald Trump in calling for the Republican president’s administration to conduct a “full investigation” into the killing of Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old nurse who was shot dead by federal immigration officials in Minneapolis on Saturday.
Pretti was reportedly legally permitted to carry a gun and is a citizen of the US, where it is a constitutional right to bear arms. Widely circulated video of his shooting death does not depict him ever holding a gun. It does show an officer reaching to Pretti’s lower back and stepping away with what appeared to be a pistol – and Pretti being subsequently shot to death.
Thomas Massie, a Republican US representative of Kentucky, separately wrote to Essayli: “Carrying a firearm is not a death sentence, it’s a Constitutionally protected God-given right, and if you don’t understand this you have no business in law enforcement or government.”
Nonetheless, Essayli’s post received a community note on X which said the US constitution prohibits “officers from shooting citizens merely for possessing a weapon that is not an ‘imminent threat’”. Beside the second amendment, the community note alluded to the constitution’s fourth amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure and its 14th amendment rights to equal protection under the law.
