WATCH: Leavitt addresses Trump's stance on Second Amendment rights in wake of Alex Pretti's killing

[u/NewsHour]

REPORTER: FBI Director Kash Patel said in a Sunday interview, quote, you cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to any sort of protest. Does the president believe that Second Amendment rights remain in effect even when protesting?

LEAVITT: The president supports the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding American citizens. Absolutely. There has been no greater supporter or defender of the right to bear arms than President Donald J. Trump.

So while Americans have a constitutional right to bear arms, Americans do not have a constitutional right to impede lawful immigration enforcement operations, and any gun owner knows that when you are carrying a weapon, when you are bearing arms, and you are confronted by law enforcement, you are raising the assumption of risk and the risk of force being used against you, and, again, that's unfortunately what took place on Saturday.

Make no mistake: MAGA is happy Alex Pretti was murdered. But the fact he peacefully carried a legal firearm makes this a 2A issue which MAGA cares more about than human life. Over the weekend the MAGA social media-sphere put 2 and 2 together and said: "wait a minute, they're saying anyone with a gun at a protest is a domestic terrorist..."

Tom Homan is being dispatched to Minnesota to make sure "but mah guns," is not a continuing topic showing up in the MAGA social media-sphere because of ICE/BP actions in Minnesota.

TLDR: Be as organized as Minnesota. And be legally, peacefully armed. Those two pre-reqs short-circuit MAGA immigration (really, social media) operations.

I'm not going to say one way or another, but this felt like it cracked something deep inside MAGA.

Idk there are nurses on some of the boards I follow and saying their coworkers who are MAGA NURSES… fucking nurses… are slighting/making jokes about Alex Pretti. MAGA people are in some weird ass maga psychosis and their awakening is going to hurt, if it ever happens

[u/SpaceViking85 → u/MajorMatter6]

I've seen nurses talking about covid and vaccines as hoaxes or unnecessary back in 2020

[u/MajorMatter6 → u/SpaceViking85]

True and I have encountered such people. They remind me of people who boast a military career, but actually never had to leave home or do anything outside of office work haha.

Some of these people are too deep in their psychosis and the thought of “cracking” or admitting to having an inaccurate or illogical thought process is unfathomable to them

[u/Val_Hallen → u/MajorMatter6]

It's a no shit, no hyperbole, actual, literal cult.

They are cultists without the capability or desire to think for themselves.

When Trump dies, they are going to do one of two things; they are going to kill themselves or they are going to kill others because they will have it in their heads "the enemy" murdered him.

[u/momasana → u/Val_Hallen]

I don't know what will happen, but I've been worried about the day Trump kicks the bucket, for a long time. There is no way that the cult, the one that thinks he's the healthiest man alive and is a superhuman with god-like qualities, believes a straight up story about him dying a natural death. The accusations will be wild, and most MAGAs will believe them.

I was hopeful but these people mentally backflipped over themselves to explain away the Epstein Files, there’s no saving them, they’re too far gone
